National Scrap Book Day~Circleville Style!

Happy National Scrapbook Day! 

Some of my crafty friends from the Cricut Circle decided to celebrate all weekend long with different challenges and projects throughout the day today and tomorrow! And, even if you're not a member of the Cricut Circle, you can join in the fun as we are posting on our blogs as well as on the Circle Message Boards!

So let's get to my challenge for the celebration. . .we're playing Tic Tac Toe! Remember that favorite game from your childhood? Well this challenge works the same. You want to use 3 elements in a row to complete your challenge project. Those who know me, know how much I love making boxes! So the center of the Tic Tac Toe board is to Make a Treat Box or Bag. If you use the center element, just choose 2 others to make 3 in a row. If you don't want to make a treat box or bag, no worries. Use the elements around the edges of the board to complete your project.

For my project, I choose to use the top left square, the center square and the bottom right square~Tic Tac Toe~Three In A Row! And this is what I made!

I started with the Tall Box image from the CTMH Artisite cart. This box is make with a separate top, bottom and sides so it was easy to alter the image in CCR. I used another image from Accent 3 to place on the sides of the box to create the window. I then use Craft Room Basics for a 1 1/2 inch circle and cut 4 for the wheels. I cut 4 flowers from Plantin Schoolbook and smaller circles from Craft Room Basics for the centers.

Then, score and assemble the box pieces. Add the centers to the flowers and the flowers to the wheels. Attach the wheels to the bottom box and add a bow to the top.

Your box will look like this:

Loosely fill a clear bag with popcorn and secure with a twist tie.

Carefully smush the bag of popcorn into the box and you have a cute little popcorn cart treat box!

Now for the prize. . .it's a $20 Gift Card to your choice of Joann's, Michael's or Hobby Lobby! And, you can get lots of chances to win!

Bottoms Up ~ Bunny in a Basket!

When is a bunny in a basket really a cute little box? When it's made with the Cricut Sweet Tooth boxes cart! I used the cone layer 2 and the top for the basket and bunny. The feet are made from Craft Room Basics. The handle, which has a scallop edge on each side and the grass are from Plantin Schoolbook. And, a fluffy pom pom finishes it off!

Bunny Box ~ straight from the cart!

Today I did something I don't normally do! I cut an image from my Cricut carts without altering it! This Bunny Box from the Artiste cart is so cute by it's self that I didn't want or need to alter it in any way. Just pick some pretty paper and add a little embellishment!

And, while you could fill it with candy {which is what I tend to do}, you can fill it with other little items too. This one has a baby t-shirt, that says "Some bunny loves me" on it, inside it! So easy to make the box as big or as little as you want using your Cricut!

Bunny Lollipop Holders

I made these cute little bunny Lollipop Holders using the rabbit from Animal Kingdom and an oval {to fill in where I welded the two rabbits together} from Craft Room Basics. The eyes are a small hole punch, the nose was a free hand cut and the mouth was hand drawn. Fold at the bottom of each rabbit, place a Tootsie Roll Pop inside and tie a ribbon around the neck!

Happy St. Patrick's Day!

Happy St. Patrick's Day!

Today's projects are a cute Leprechaun Teddy Bear {this was made by someone else and given to me}, from the Teddy Bear Parade cart and a Pot 'O Gold {that I made}, using the Sweet Tooth Boxes cart.

I used the Ice Cream cut from Sweet Tooth Boxes and welded a rectangle from CCR to the top to cover the scallops. I added feet to the pot {which you can't see from this angle} by rolling four quarter inch strips of black card stock and gluing them to the bottom. Add the Rolo candies and it's a pot 'o gold! 

Hope you wore some green today and didn't get pinched! Thanks for stopping by!

Bear Hugs Treat Box

Happy Valentine's Day!

I decided to use the same box base as the Hogs and Kisses Pig and turn it into a little bear! Only a few simple changes for the face and viola! It was a bear! And, it really should be filled with Hershey's Hugs candies {to go with the Bear Hugs name}, but by the time I was ready to take the photo, someone in my family had eaten all the Hugs!

I can't wait to use this little box for an upcoming baby shower! I'll just have to be sure to hide the candy!

Wonder what I should turn the box into next?
