April Showers Challenge

Hey everyone!  It's time for a new challenge over at Bitten by the Bug 2!  This week our theme is April Showers.  You can create a card, layout, or other project with a "shower" theme such as rain shower, baby shower, wedding shower, etc.  Just make sure you use a Cricut cut.
For the challenge, I decided to make a shaped card using the bottle cut from Baby Steps.  

This card came together very quickly even with my 2 year old hanging around. 

 The bottle is cut at 5 inches.  Using the Cricut Craft Room, I welded two bottle cuts together.  I then cut a second bottle cut in the pink polka dot cardstock followed by the other cuts.  
I have really grown to love the Cricut Craftroom.  I still have my Gypsy, but I like being able to use the colors to help make some of the paper decisions easier.  

Supplies:
Bottle-Baby Steps-5 in.
K & Company cardstock
Recollections cardstock
chalks
Scrappy Moms Stamps-Simple Sentiments
Papertrey Ink-Raspberry Ink

So we hope you will join us this week over at Bitten by the Bug 2!

And be sure to check out some new recipe posts over on my other blog, Diary of a Recipe Collector.

  11. Nice baby shower card. I bet no one else has one like it. Very cute. I like CCR too and use it for most of my cricut cuts. Just for sizing alone, it is worth the time to use it
