Anything Goes @ 4 Crafty Chicks!

Happy Thursday!  Thanks so much for stopping by today to see what I have been up to!  Today at 4 Crafty Chicks Lori is our hostess and as it is the 5th Thursday of the month the theme is always
ANYTHING GOES!

I have another 3D project to share this week.  The files came from Mary over at SVGcuts.com.  If you have never visited her site you should stop by and see he amazing  creations!!!  I think my favorite thing about the Cricut Explore is the ability to use these files!

This Ferris Wheel is from her Summer Street Carnival collection.   This was so much fun to make and display!

Here is a picture of the back:

This actually moves so you could put little treats in the cars and spin it around!

So, be sure to stop on over to 4 Crafty Chicks and see what the other chicks have made this week and enter your Anything Goes project today!  Also a big thank you to Emily for playing with us this month!  Your work is amazing!!!  

See you soon!

Pearls at 4 Crafty Chicks

Good morning!  I am running so late this week!!!  Yesterday started a brand new challenge at 4 Crafty Chicks!  The lovely and talented Tamie wanted to see us dress up our projects with

 PEARLS.  

I have been working on some paper bag albums for my niece and nephew and decided to show you the cover of the book for my niece.  (I will TRY to take a few pictures of the inside and add later).

This entire album is made using paper lunch sacks!  I used foam core for the cover and found a binding tutorial on Pinterest that works great!  The flowers were cut out of burlap paper on my Cricut Explore.  The pearl button was just something I found in my jar of buttons.  

So, be sure to head over to 4 Crafty Chicks and enter your project today!  We can't wait to see what you have for us!

See you soon!

Sparkle & Shine

Good morning!  Welcome back again this week! 

 

It is Thursday so it is time for a new challenge over at 4 Crafty Chicks!  This week Lori is our hostess and she decided on the theme

SPARKLE AND SHINE

 

Now, I have to say, I completely ran out of time once again this week, but one of my best crafty friends just happened to have made me the perfect gift for this challenge!

 

She took a bottle of hand soap from the dollar store and painted it white then added LOTS of glitter! 

 

 

 

Isn't this just ADORABLE!!!  I added a bow and it is just my favorite new fall decorating item!!!

 

So, head over to 4 Crafty Chicks and enter your SPARKLE AND SHINE project today!  While you are there be sure to leave some love for the other chicks!  They really out did themselves this week!

 

See you soon!
