Baby Shower Centerpiece

Ok, so today, I think I totally messed up...lol

Today is Would You Ever Guess Wednesday over at

My Cricut Craft Room.

On WYEGW, we are supposed to use any

image EXCEPT, the main image on the page.

Today we were also to use either 3 tags

or a rosette on our project.

Well I totally concentrated on the rosette piece

and forgot that I was not supposed to

use the main images.  I sure hope Erica

does not fire me for not

following the rules...LOL

So for this week's project I used

Ribbons and Rosettes(for the first time!!),

Create a Critter and Animal Kingdom.

Awhile back I had made a baby banner for one of

the girls at work.  Everyone loved it and one of

the other ladies in the office has a new grandson

due next month and she asked me if I could

make the same animals on sticks so that

she could but them in a floral center piece.

I told her sure I could do that!!

This is what I came up with.

All the rosettes were cut at 2" from page 23

of the book.  I cut 6 pieces for each rosette.

I used a Marvy Uchida Jumbo Scalloped

Circle Punch for the center piece which

I then embossed using the Cuttlebug

Spots and Dots folder.

All the pieces were inked with

Distress Ink in Mowed Lawn

and Broken China.

All animals were cut from Create a Critter

except the Tiger, he is from Animal Kingdom.

 Most of them were cut at 2.5"

All the faces were stamped with

various Peachy Keen face stamps.

I added some ribbon from Michaels to each one.

 

Now I just did not want to hand them to her,

so I decorated a recycled drink mix container

to put them in. This is what I started with:

 

I took off the packaging and this is what was left.

I have been saving these and knew some

day I would have a use for them...LOL

 

 

 I originally only made one, and put all

six in the same container.  She liked it so much

she asked  me to make her two more!!

I put some little glass pebbles in the

 bottom to weigh them down.

 

 

I had so much fun making these and finally

using my Ribbons and Rosettes cartridge.

They were alot of work, but turned out so cute!!

Plus I got paid for making these!!

Here are some close ups of the animals:
