Cricut Cut face or facial features (smile, eyes, lips, face)

The kids will soon be out of school, the pool is warming up, and I have lots of spring projects to work on. Some of those projects include scrapbooking and cardmaking. That brings me to introduce a new challenge for you today. Use a Smile, Facial Feature, Face, or a cut with the word Smile on a card or project. There are hundreds of serious and cartoon faces in the Cricut Access, or perhaps on a cartridge you own. I am sure you will find one to create something wonderful.

Gift Tags and/or Gift Bags

Hi followers, Maureen here, can you believe the year is half over? Where has it gone? One thing that has been nice about all the rain in Northern California this year is that my fruit trees blossomed with lots of fruit. I have been making lots of apple butter and peach jam among trying new recipes, so I made gift tags to go with them. Our challenge for you this week is "tags and/or bags". Make a tag and accompanying bag or just one of the two. We love to see what you create and share with all of us. Please use a Cricut cut on your tag or bag and link it up using the Linky below.

Did you know you can Link up your project if you have uploaded onto Pinterest? Just right-click on your picture in Pinterest, select 'copy link address', go to our BBTB2 Linky button at the bottom of this post, and paste in the URL from Pinterest and select the correct image. It's simple, here's wishing you join us.
