"Save the Earth" FCCB Cricut Crawl


Welcome to Simply Frenzied and the SEVENTH Fantabulous Cricut Crawl...Fantabulous Cricut's version of a Blog Hop!

In honor of our Home Planet, Mother Earth, we're having a "Save the Earth" Crawl...each Design Team member will be featuring an original Upcycled-Themed Project that includes at least one Reuseable/Recycled Item along with at least ONE Cricut Cut.

If you've come from visiting Judy at http://craftyjar.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 http://fantabulouscricut.blogspot.com/

Make sure to check out each DT member's blog for some awesome inspiration! There will be PRIZES along the way at our DT members' blogs, AND there will be a Grand Prize up for grabs at FCCB for one participant that submits a "Save the Earth" project at FCCB!


How fun is that?

For my project... I made two 3-1/2" x 6-1/2" tags. 
I used 3 Up-cycled items:

1.) cardboard, trimmed to size.

2.) covered with pattern paper bag that I received from a purchase at a scrapbook, trimmed to size.

3.) soup can pull top tab attached with a brad.



My Cricut cut is from the Elegant Edges, pg. 65, <Flower3> and <Flwer3-s> using the oblong feature cut at 4".  All embellishments, stamp and ink were used from my stash.

I have blog candy to giveaway (I'll post a picture Monday night). 

However, in order to be eligible to win my blog candy, you must complete the following:

  • Become a follower
