Good morning all. This is our first monthly challenge to use your cutting machines- electronic or manual more. The idea is to try and incorporate the challenges into your projects each month so that we are using those files and dies more. post your projects in this thread or tell us about what you used so we can encourage each other. This months list: 1. use a die cut title, or as part of a title 2. Use heart die cuts 3. Use a die or file that you really like. 4. Make a 3D project Have fun! admin can you please add this to the master list of challenges. Thank you. |

very timely thread - I just cut a 3" tooth using my Cricut and SCAL for a tooth faery card I'm sending to my DS overseas who is getting his wisdom teeth out.

What a fun challenge! I use die cutting on almost all of my layouts! Even do some fussy cutting when I feel it is what I want! Here's one I did yesterday. My title is a double die cut, and I have the stacked hearts. I used Silhouette Cameo for the title and hearts. The circles that the hearts are positioned on were cut with a die and my Big Shot.

Love this page, scrapincin! Here is my February calendar page. It is a total lift from the Simple Stories Blog yesterday. I pinned it HERE Feb '17 by Gramma Dee, on Flickr It has a couple of hearts: the large one was cut with a CTMH Cricut cartridge. I then hand cut out all the triangles to get the mosaic pattern. The small hearts were punched with a Marvy uchilada punch. There are some tiny hearts if you look closely: I used a textured roller to pick up some of the paint and decorate a couple of corners. The large heart shape and the title letters are diecut. (TE word "celebrate", and SB letter dies for "February" Loved doing the challenge, DawnMcD, but will love next month's even more after I have my Vagabond replaced LOL. |

scrappymami , that is such a sweet layout. I love your title and the hearts. I have done a layout with lots of die cutting and hearts, and I'm still in the process of making 65 boxes for the children in our reading program at school.  You Make My Heart Smile by Nylene Budge, on Flickr  Card Boxes for school by Nylene Budge, on Flickr Only 25 left to go. Thank you DawnMcD, for posting this challenge. It was just right for me this month.

scrappymami your layout is so precious. Those photos are adorable and I love the green with the pink. so special. Thank you, I'm not sure if the journaling can be read, but this is the first LO I make since I had to put my cat of 11,5 years (on the pictures together with my son) to sleep... And it HAD to be about him... I found the pictures on my "to scrap" pile, I had written down the cues for the challenge... it just flowed out of me!!! It felt so good!!! I'm in love with the photos and the LO Save |

I finally finished a layout for this challenge. This is my girls waiting to take bridal party photos before their brother's wedding. I used my Silhouette Cameo to cut out the title.  Lovely Moment by DawnMcD, on Flickr |

I love everyone's projects. I need to use my Cricut, dies and stamps more so this challenge will help with that. I used my Cricut to cut some adhesive foil that I put on a mug. It was a really cool heart. I will have to take a picture and then figure out how to post the picture here. I think I did in the past just need to find the directions again.
I have a ton of layouts and cards I need to work on so I am sure something will fit this challenge.
