With fall just around the corner, I decided to create a Halloween decoration using the Cosmo Cricket Matilda and Joy Ride paper sets.

I started with a $0.99 Store photo frame:

The plain whitewash frame was painted using Glamour Dust in Tiger Orange.

Next, I added a little Cricut magic! Here is the final product:

This was designed to be a multi-fold card, but it took on a life of its own and turned into a birthday card/book. I hope you enjoy it as much as I enjoyed making it. The challenge was for August 29

Shari’s Journey Through The Cricut Circle

by Shari | Cricut Circle, Our Art, Shari_T

My journey into paper crafting began in 2000, when I scrapbooked my first page; I was hooked. In 2010, I fell ill and was bed ridden for almost a year. As I began to show signs of improvement, I needed something to occupy my time and mental energy: enter the Cricut and Gypsy. I had no idea what I was doing, so I joined the newly formed Cricut Circle, thinking if I was going to learn, I wanted to learn from the best and most talented (not to mention the most addicted) out there. I spent the better part of 8 months just lurking in the background of the Circle blog and checking out the blogs of other Circle members. There is an awful lot of talent out there! In May 2011, I finally decided to begin trying the Cricut Circle Challenges. It has added a whole new dimension to my creative thinking, and I’ve begun trying things beyond cards. My Cricut has been great therapy for me while I recover.
