Be A Happy Camper Book and Card

As much as I love Fridays, today is a teeny sad as it is my last day sharing on Obsessed With Scrapbooking. It's been such a fun week and I thank Joy so much for allowing me to occupy her crafty space this week! ♥

Every summer the cousins, my grands, do a family camping trip. Today's project utilizes the Campin Critters cartridge....LOVE that cart! I'm sharing this book I made for Mila, one of my adorable, talented and crafty grandgirls. ;) Mila, 8, is very artistically talented and loves to draw and write constantly. This 6" x 4.25" book holds all unruled pages so she can draw and write during the campout this summer.

  The intro page using a sentiment by My Creative Time, and super adorbs trailer stamp by Market Street Stramps.

I used My Creative Time stitched ticket die and label font stamp set to make a cute name tag. I didn't use kraft paper however. I used my all time fave homemade chipboard using a cracker box! Two cuts, back to back, then punched with the crop-o-dile. If you haven't tried this technique, go finish off the crackers and scrap the box. You'll love it!!!!

The trailer on this cartridge is so stinkin' adorable, I had to make it!! Is this not the cutest thing ever! Using coordinating pattern papers to the book label, I used it on the gift card that will accompany the book.  It even has REAL windows!! I used acetate for the windows and popped the trailer off the background with foam tape.

Super fun papers are Away We Go, My Minds Eye, 6x6 paper pad. I used cloud dies by My Creative Time and Quickutz. Fishtail tags and sentiments also by My Creative Time. Except the 'explore' one...that's a Market Street stamp.

The finished card. Hope you like!

What's Canoe with You?

As soon as I saw this stamp, I knew this was just the image to use from the Cricut Campin' Critters cartridge.  This is such a fun cartridge.

Now, this cartridge has some unusual eyes so I typically get around that problem by using wiggle eyes.

The card is 4-1/4" x 5-1/2" and made using kraft cardstock.

The "what's canoe with you?" sentiment is from Joy's Life Wild Life Puns stamp set which you can find HERE.

I'm just getting back in the swing of things after vacation and trying to plan upcoming projects for the fall.  Are there any types of projects you guys are looking for?  Home decor? Decorations?  Christmas cards?  Let me know in the comments!

Have a great day!

New Campin' Critters Cricut Cartridge and Project!

Hello Sunday!  Here is my first project with this month's release of the new cartridges.  This layout uses only one cartridge, Cricut Campin' Critters and features eight different cuts on it.

I added wiggle eyes to the skunk above as I didn't like how the eyes cut out.  For those of you wondering, fortunately, there were no skunks at this campout!  However, there were packs of coyotes that howled most of the night!

I love the badge feature on this cartridge!  The images all layer from the bottom up and were very easy to put together.

Here, I wanted to add more photos to the layout so I used some "flip flaps" from Close to My Heart to do so.  I had to tie that section down with some ribbon.  All paper and cardstock was from Close to My Heart, courtesy of Melanie!
