Fantabulous Cricut Crawl

Welcome to Evanna's Paper Palace and the fifth Fantabulous Cricut Crawl...Fantabulous Cricut's version of a blog hop! This is my first time joining in a blog hop, and I am so excited!! I was trying to explain it to my 4 year old, but I don't think he really got it!!

It's Spring Time, and everyone at Fantabulous Cricut has decided to have a Spring Fling!   Each Design Team member will be featuring an original Spring project that includes Pink, Green and Yellow on it along with at least one Cricut cut.

If you've come from visiting Dana at http://iwycd.blogspot.com/, you're in the right place! If you've just happened across my blog and would like to play along with our Fantabulous Cricut Crawl, start HERE .

Make sure to check out each DT member's blog for some great projects and inspiration! There will be PRIZES along the way at some of our DT members' blogs, AND there will be a Grand Prize at FCCB for one participant that submits a "Spring Fling" project at FCCB!

For my project...

 I used some We R Memory Keepers paper, and a bunny from Create a Critter (again...sorry, it is my all time FAVOURITE cartridge!!) at 4"

 The stamp is from this year's Easter collection from Forever Friends. The ovals were cut out from George at 5" and the shadow.

 I used Liquid Pearls to fill in the bunny's nose.

 The flower is from Papermania, and the eyelets is We R Memory Keepers.

I am so excited to be apart of this Fantabulous Cricut Crawl. And I hope you are excited to get involved, I wanted to share the excitement with a little give away, I have some Basic Grey Stamps and some Spring themed stickers, and some Stickles for you.

Sunbeam Sunday

What a beautiful Sunday we have had today. My family spent the afternoon at the Portchester Castle. It is so beautiful there, right by the sea and lots of grass. We love going there! 

When we got home I made a card that I want to send to someone who is new to our Church. I used my favourite stamps, Sunbeam Stamps. The paper is K&Co and the pearls pearls.

Make sure you come back tomorrow for the FCCB Cricut Crawl (Blog hop)!!

Happy Saturday!

Good Morning, it is a beautiful day already here. We have a busy day today. My kids are going to their cousin's birthday party, my son is going to the theatre with his aunty this afternoon to see 'The Tiger Who Came To Tea', and we have all the usually Saturday jobs to do. So I go up early this morning and had a look at the Pink Stamper blog hop and the challenge, to make Anything Birthday, which was perfect for me because I hadn't made Declan's birthday card for the party today! 

I think it was a bit too early for me this morning! This was my second attempt, I started to make a card with a cut from the Cars cartridge, but I got so annoyed with it I had to bin it! It just wasn't working!! So I went to my 'go-to' cartridge when all else fails-Create a Critter!!

It is 13.5cm square card, the paper is from We R Memory Keepers, so is the eyelet. I did dash lines with a green Stardust pen from Sakura, the stamp is MPS from Friends & Family.

Thanks for stopping by!

Birthday cards for Aunty Zoe!

Today is my sister-in-law's birthday and after school my son wanted to make her a card. He had a very specific idea of what he wanted, he told me it had to have a bunny, which needed to be yellow, and he wanted pink ribbon going along the bottom, and he wanted to use my Cricut pens. I took a few photos to share with you-

He is only 4 and he knows just how to use my Cricut! I didn't need to do anything apart from change the pen and the blade over.

He calls this my flipper, and he insists on using it everytime! Here is taking off the flowers and an oval he cut from George.

Here is Izzy wanting to have a go-it's very tempting all those buttons!!

 After he cut out all his bits, he cut some paper 14.5cmx20.5cm

 Here is the all important pink ribbon!

And the finished card-and my very cute and proud boy!!





I also made a card for my Sister-in-law. I was also going to do a rabbit, but then I had a look at the Flaunt it Friday challenge, to use a sheep cut, I have used the sheep that is on From My Kitchen. 

The paper is K&Co. The ribbon is Dovecraft. I used a Penny Black stamp. The tag is from Making Memories. I am not sure it is as good as Ethan's card, but I hope she likes it all the same!!

WOYWW 96

Hello, it's Wednesday again so it's time to have a peek at my messy craft area...I was working on a LO this morning for Lasting Memories Layout Challenge, and I didn't want to waste time cleaning up, so I ended up on the floor. So here's what my floor looks like today!!

This is the finish LO

This is for the Lasting Memories Spring Challenge.I used Papermania paper. The flowers are Papermania and Prima, the letters are from American Crafts and Making Memories. I cut the flourish from Sweethearts Cartridge. I love this picture of my little girl playing in our Aunt's garden.


I had better go clear up my floor, and then I'm off to have a look around your craft areas on this beautiful WOYWW.

An evening of crafting...

Hello,this evening I have been making some cards for a couple of challenges. First, I did a card for Getting Cricky Challenge Inspired Hearts, for this challenge we were asked to create something inspired by what inspires our hearts. I thought this was a really touching topic. I thought about the things that are important to me, and things that move me, and I think some of the most important things in this life are kindness and charity . What lifts and inspires my heart is the kindness of others.

I used K&Co paper, Sweetheart Cartridge for the heart, the stamp is from Sunbeam Stamps.

The next card I did this evening is for a couple of challenges-

Birthday Sundaes-Anything goes (so long as it's birthday)
Die Cuttin' Divas-Sketch challenge
CCCC-Use From My Kitchen


Thanks for stopping by.

FCCB Challenge- April Showers.

Good Morning, and Happy Monday, which means it's Challenge Me Monday over at Fantabulous Cricut. This week's challenge it to create a project using an umbrella or hat. I have used the umbrella from Create a Critter. I wanted to make a wall hanging using these pictures of my son playing in the rain a couple of years ago. I used a quote by Joseph B Wirthlin which I find really uplifting, 'Come what may, and Love it'. I think these pictures of my boy playing in the rain are a great example of finding the best in something.

I took an A4 piece of chipboard and covered it with We R Memory Keepers paper. I took 3 photos of different sizes and matted them on green paper. I cut out the umbrellas in 3 sizes and flipped the 2 smaller ones. I took a length of wire and wrapped it around an embossing tool, then punched 2 holes in the top, put eyelets in and put the wire through them, then tied some ribbon on it. I decorated it with some bits and stamped 'fun' from a MPS set. I printed the quote and matted that also.
