This week challenge is " Texture " 

and here is my take 

*hint*

Stop by at Cooking with Cricut blog and check out what other designer have crate.

Melinda's Surprise Blog Hop

Welcome to Cooking With Cricut’s very special SURPRISE “Thank You” Blog Hop. 

Why is it so special? There are a couple of reasons! The first reason 

-- it is our 100th Cooking With Cricut challenge and the second (and most important) 

is to thank our wonderful leader and “Executive Chef” Melinda Beltran.

Melin started the Cooking With Cricut challenges in October 2010 

to encourage crafters to find new and different ways to use their Cricut cartridges. 

And she has accomplished that and so much more! 

She has given scores of crafters a place on her Design Teams 

which quickly turned into a sisterhood of women, 

who care for each other; 

who encourage each other; 

who lift each other and their families up in prayer; 

and who have shared their hearts and their art through many outreach projects.

So this is our SURPRISE “Thank You” tribute to our beloved Melin! 

If you came from Xochitl’s blog, Cricutcritter, you’re in the right place!

 If you’ve joined us in mid-hop and would like to start at the beginning, 

please head back to Cooking With Cricut 

– you won’t want to miss any of these awesome cards!!

For my project.

We were actually assigned to make a thank you card for Melinda. 

But my thankfulness for her is bigger than a card !

I have projects made for Cooking with Cricut 

that published and will be publish at least in 5 magazines within one year.

If it wasn't because of cooking with Cricut challenge that encourage me to make a wonderful project.

I won't  have my name on Cricut Magazine ^_^

So a big thanks to you Melinda.

My project, instead of a card I made this embroidery hoop for her to reminded her how grateful I am.

On this project  I use polkadots fabrics that I have in sewing draws.

Cut the blue one using Simply Sweet cartridge.

< Thank you >

then hand drew flower and leaves.

Hand embroidered.

Take a closer look on these lovely flowers.

Giveaway time !!

On this blog hop I also wanted to give away one of this lovely hoop for you lovely reader .

I will be making one for you as you color preference.

To win this.

Thanks so much for hopping with us. We hope you’ll join us and leave your own “thank you” in the comment section for Melin at CWC! Now it’s time to head on over to Linsey at Outside the lines – she’s the next stop on this party train!

Mushroom Pencils Pouch

Since I start quilting I've bought a lot of fabrics.

All kind of fabrics. Mostly organic cotton.

I could feel their texture when I touch them.

But I haven't really get a change to use them on quilt much 

just some little projects here and there.

So I use this little mushroom fabric

 to make a little drawstring pouch for pencils and stuff.

On this pouch simply make drawstring bag using white medium thick fabric.

Then I cut hearts using Doodle Charms cartridge on mushroom pattern fabric.

Then iron on to my bag.

Stamp sentiment. 

I made this for " Back to School " Challenge on Cooking with Cricut blog.

So be sure to check out more inspiration on their blog !

XOXO Foxy

Hello everyone.

The weather have been frustrating me lately. 

It's sunny and nice in the morning when I wanna stay in bed 

and every afternoon when I'm done with my arranges and ready to craft it' start to get cloudy and rain ! Drive me insane. 

I love working in natural light but since I didn't have much options I worked under my lamp. 

It's ok for working but then I want to take a nice photo. 

I can't because fluorescent light it's to harsh :(

- - - - - -

Enough complaining ..

Now It's time to share with you what I have make today.

On this card I use one of my most favorite shape from Give a Hoot cartridge.
