My challenge for myself

OK - so after doing the My Pink Stamper challenge - I feel motivated! I am going to give myself a challenge. I am more likely to do something if I put it out there - so this is me putting it out there. I want to try to use all of the cuts on one cartridge. We will start with one - and go from there.

So my challenge to me - is take a cart....let's see - what one.......Let's start with Sweet Treats. I want to do every cut and make something out of it. Let the creativity start :)

WOW

That was a lot of posts in a little time!

I still have two more challenges to do hopefully by tonight. The #6 and #7 - With/For a child and the Teacher one from MPS.

This is the first time I ever did a challenge - I was skeptical at first - but I am hooked. It pushes you a little. Sometimes I will get down the the craft room and I get so overwhelmed by all the possibilities - I just stare for a while. And with three kids under 4 my time is limited.

One thing for all those that are busy and think you don't have time. What I did that was SO helpful was print out all the "cheat sheets" from cricut.com of the carts I have - put them in a binder - with tabs for each cart. And I have a notebook with sketches. I will "design" my card before I go down. I have the cuts and sizes that I want to do. So when I go down - I can be super productive in the short windows that I have. I got 10 cards done in no time that way.

Hopefully my oldest and I can get some scrapping time tonight and get those last two done before the deadline!

MPS Challenge #12 - Critter

I really want the create a critter cart. Every time I see those cute little critters I get all giggly!!! Looking through my carts I thought the turtle was cute. I like how it turned out. This little guy was from.....I think Walk in my Garden again.

MPS Challenge - #11 - Rainbow

All the color's of the rainbow. I thought this came out nice - and was also Springy. This is from Walk in my Garden. I am not normally a big layer person - but it came out really good. I used two different embossing folders too to add some texture.

MPS Challenge 10 - Spring

I thought this was pretty cute - Right now I can't remember the cut - I think it is from......New Arrivals - or Walk in the Garden - I will have to go back and look - it was cute though! I may go back and change the stamp on the bottom - cover it with a solid piece and stamp "Spring" again on it.

MPS Challenge #9 - Shaped Card

There was a birthday coming up for a co-worker - and I needed to make a card anyways. I really love how it turned out. I wasn't planning on it being a shaped card - but it is SUPER cute- I will probably make more of these. This cut is from Sweet Treats.

MPS Challenge 8 - Mono

I went with Blue as my monochromatic color. I think it came out really cute and vintage. I used both cuts from Sentimentals.
