HAPPY NEW YEAR all you Fantabulous Cricut Challenge Blog stalkers followers. :) I hope that 2011 is treating you better and better everyday. And I trust you all had a fabulous Christmas.  I did :) I was blessed by a FaceBook friend of mine that won a Cricut Expression (her second Expression win within one month) and she crafted it forward to me. :) I was so, so, so excited. Thank you Amy from Perfectly Unperfect Cards. I am still astonished at the kindness of a stranger. (Well, not a complete stranger but we have only met via FaceBook.) Ok, enough about that....

This week at Fantabulous Cricut Challenge the challenge is Winter Warmies. We are to create a project using some sort of winter clothing or accessory. I was super excited to have received Simply Charmed for Christmas and I knew just HAD to use the most adorable hat and mittens I've ever seen on that cart.
Here is what I came up with....




It's a wall/door hanging! Since I now have an Expression I can cut images larger than 5.5" and I can also cut chipboard aka cereal boxes (in this project anyway).
Here are the details:
*Bases are all Cheerio boxes. (BTW, I live VERY near the General Mills factory and when they make the Cheerios the whole city smells Heavenly.)
*The hat is cut at 7" and the mittens are cut at 4"
* Layers are white, slate blue, sky blue and pink for the mouths and cheeks.
*Google eyes are from The Dollar Tree (I LOVE googly eyes)
*Clear/iridescent glitter

I LOVE how this all came together. It's hanging in my living room right now.

I can't wait to see what the rest of you come up with! Don't forget to link your project to the FCCB blog there's always a prize up for grabs, GOOD LUCK.

Keep Kreating,
Erin
