Country Boy
The challenge... use Straight from the Nest. Whew.. cart is and overload of cuts begging to be used. I actually sat and jotted down all the cuts from this cart that appealed to me and that I thought I would actually use. Can you say 41 !!!! needless to say I have plans for many more layouts in the near future. For now... here is one of Cody. I pulled this photo out of a pile waiting to be scrapped. This was 2005.. and now.. 2012 he has graduated HS. Im sooo struggling with letting him go. But grown he is. We love our cabin and the quiet time in the country. I used MME .. yep.. again. told you i love this stuff. The cuts from SFTN are the leaves and the flourish as well as the scallop like border. The font for Country and 2005 were cut from the Cricut 'Stamped' font cartridge.

Cricut Felties part II
Goood morning Blog, as promised part two of Cricut Felties.
This time these were both made using Cricut Cartridge Straight From the Nest.
The flower pics dont show it.... grrr ( may be taking those again )
but, the flower its self has a 'pillow' of hot pink and purple, then two more flowers were cut in the hot pink and pale pink and outter edges sewn for layering only. This way is fluffy enough to serve as a table top pin cushion. large yellow button for the center and topped with a red, velvet covered button. The leaves were both sewn with two layers but not stuffed. Just tucked into the layers of the flower petals.
I love the way it turned out ! Happy colors :)
and then there is the OWL. WHO LOVES YOU BABY ?!?!!? Oh.. that cut is such a simple Cricut cut in paper but when done in felt the colors and layers pop! I stuffed the main body but not the wings. then added the final layer of wings in blue. I dunno.. .just liked the way it looked. I used prima flower centers for the eyes and his belly... i took the paper pattern and traced the swirl of its tummy in perm. marker. then covered in glitter glue. Yep you guessed it... another pin cushion :) this time i was thinking that its back side would serve to hold the pins. Kinda like the pins would represent the tail feathers of the owl.
I sooo see more of these in the future :) Im addicted.
These will be posted over on the Collectors Cut Blog soon! be sure to check it out for my friends and I are challenging ourself to use every cart in our collections! Their creations are from different carts !
