Thursday, Jan. 10th MCCR - Save the Eagles

Welcome to My Cricut Craft Room Theme Day Thursday - Save the Eagles.

Today Erica asked us to create any project with any bird.

My Dad's favorite bird was the Eagle so to honor him I made an American Eagle Tag. I dug out the Camping Critters cart and cut my Eagle at 3". This particular eagle has a boy scout badge so I changed that up to make it look more Patriotic by using red, blue and silver stickles. And I thought he needed some google eyes to give him a little character.

I used the CTMH American Celebration Stamp set for the Rocket, Stars, America and Let freedom ring sentiments. I cut a 3 x 4" piece of cardstock to create the pocket on the tag and used my dark blue staples to hold it in place. Inside my pocket, I added another smaller tag cut at 2 x 3". I used a star eyelet and added some red, white, and blue twine. I popped the rocket and stars with foam tape and TaDa! My Patriotic Tag is complete.

Good things come to those who bait

Happy Sunday evening my friends. I hope you had a great weekend. I had a busy weekend but I did manage to hide out in my craft room for a while today so I could make a couple of Birthday cards for some special guys in my life.

This card is for a friend that has a job with Bass Masters so I couldn't resist getting a little bit punny with this card. It makes me smile everytime I look at it so I think he will smile or at least roll his eyes at me when he gets this card.

I'm entering this card into the following challenges:
Come and get it challenge - Let's here it for the boys

Here's what I used to create this card:

I'm finally starting to get caught up after being on vacation. I still have several blogs to go visit from the Disney Pixar Blog hop and slowly but surely I will visit you all.

Today I'm participating in the Birthday Sundaes Challenge . The challenge is to make a birthday card using 3 different embellishments and 2 patterned papers. How fun is that! I need to make a birthday card for my nephew Parker so this happened to be the perfect challenge for me. Here's what I came up with.

How to:

The darker color paper on the deer came from Bazzill Basics Paper in French Silk. For the rest of the deer I used my scraps.

The patterned paper is from DCWV The guy stack and Recollections Autumn 8 x 8 paper pack.
