MPS Challenge #6 - "Kids Craft Too"

The purpose of this challenge was to either make something for  a child or have your child help you make something.  Mine was a little bit of both.  My son LOVES sports.  He's crazy about the "Sports Mania" cartridge.  So we made this cool football and "Nets" banner.  He helped me press the buttons on the Cricut machine and to glue some of the stuff.  This was so much fun.  BTW, we're not Nets fans, die hard Miami Heat.  Just so happen that we went to a Heat game and they played against the Nets.  :)

MPS Challenge #4 - "I Like You the Least"

This challenge was a little difficult for me.  The purpose was to use our least favorite Cricut cartridge.  Personally, I love all of them.  I chose 2 of them. The font is from the "Wild Card" cartridge.  I use this pretty often but I've never used the font feature on it.  The other cartridge I used is "Going Places"  See the little silhouette brown mountain region on the right side of the layout?  That's pretty much the only image I could use from there.   Again, I'm so glad for these challenges.  This is another layout I had pending to do.

MPS Challenge #3 - Thinking Outside the Box"

You tired yet?  There's more!  Challenge #3.  The purpose of this challenge was to use something you've never used before in scrapbooking.  You see that sun there?  Does it even look like a sun?  The picture doesn't do it justice.  I made it out of a paper bag.  Used some yellow stickles and there you have it.   The great thing about these challenges is that I've been able to catch up on my personal stuff.  These pics are from 2007!!!  Look how little the boys look.

My Pink Stamper Challenge #2 - Getting "Scrappy"

The next Pink Stamper challenge was to create something using only scraps.  Check out what I came up.  This was made for my hubby.  Paper is from "We R Memory Keepers"  I used some of it for a layout a while back and just had it there along with the heart-shaped flower (never used it for its original purpose)  Added some stickles in the center, some ribbon, a sentiment (from my pink stamper stamps) and VOILA!!!  You never know what you can come up with.
