Sweet Summer Door Hanger (BBTB Contest and Card Patterns Sketch #22)

I have really been having a good time making Door Hangers instead of cards! They are a bit bigger than a card and you can incorporate a sketch into them so well!

For this one I used the Card Patterns Sketch #22. I love to try their sketches! I'm going on vacation next week so I'm trying to get my fill of scrapping and card making in now!!!

Bitten By the Bug has a contest going on right now where you need to have:

**a summer theme

**cuts from any cricut cartridge (I used Lyrical Letters for the bird, the bush (it is behind all the flowers), and sweet summer and George for the flowers)

**incorporate a yellow button somewhere in it (I've got a big one and several small ones along with a lot of other colors)

The paper is from the Basic Grey Lime Rickey 6 X 6 paper pack.

It is very eclectic and a little outside my normal style but I'm going to put it on my door at work! Just a way to have some art on my door! Maybe it will make someone smile!

I guess this also qualifies for the Pile It On Challenge because this weeks is to have 4 buttons ~ I'm new to that challenge ~ not sure how many times you can post something on it! But I'm on a roll with buttons and challenges this week!

Another Patriotic Door Hanging (4 challenges in One!)

In my last post I made a 4th of July door hanging and one of the awesome comments (there were lots of them ~ thank you all) suggested I do one for the Cuttlebug Challenge. I don't have a lot of cuttlebug dies but I do have these cool nesting stars! The challenge was to use cuttlebug dies (of course), red white and blue, and buttons. I also used the word freedom from the cricut Graphically Speaking cartridge which is the Bitten By the Bug Challenge. I used the general layout of the 2 Sketches 4 You sketch this week again! It does look different then the first one! And last but not least the Pile It On Challenge was to use 4 buttons and as many challenges as possible. I've used round buttons, star buttons and little glittery buttons so there are a lot of buttons on here! I am a little worried it is too busy but it is pretty fun! Thanks for stopping by! I hope everyone is having a great 4th of July!

4 Challenges In One (2 Sketches 4 You, Use It, Bitten By the Bug, Pile It On) ~ Way to say Happy 4th of July!

I found this new challenge called Pile It On and the purpose of it is to do it as a challenge + as many others as you can in the same project! Wow! Sounds hard but actually this project ended up easy to use them all! This is actually a door hanging. I got the idea from one of the design team members of Bitten By the Bug. Here are the challenges:

Bitten By the Bug - Use jumbled freedom words from Cricut Graphically Speaking (Independence is also from the same cartridge!)

2 Sketches 4 You, Laura Sketch #29 (used that for how I set it up!)

Use It #16 - Use Polka Dots, inspired by nature (the little owl!), favorite embellishments (I used the ribbon, flowers, button, and die cuts), and send to someone you care about. In this case I'm going to hang this on my door at work because it will cheer everyone up! So all those people are special! Hope that counts!

Pile It On #4 - Use 4 Buttons.

As I said in an earlier post for the same Use It challenge, I've been cleaning and reorganizing my scrap space and so I "found" the red polka dotty paper and didn't realize just how much fiber I had and this was a fun way to use it! I can't wait to take this to work tomorrow and hang it on my door!
