Fantabulous Cricut Crawl - Harvest Blessings


Hi everyone and welcome to Melanie Makes and the Fantabulous Cricut Harvest Blessings Crawl...Fantabulous Cricut's version of a blog hop!  This is my first Crawl with FCCB's DT and I am blessed to by a part of it.


It's Fall and everyone at Fantabulous Cricut has decided to create projects to give thanks for our Harvest Blessings!   Each Design Team member will be featuring an original Fall project that includes BrownOrange and Red – along with at least one Cricut cut.

If you've come from visiting Marlene at Scrappin Cookie, you're in the right place! If you've just happened across my blog and would like to play along with our Fantabulous Cricut Crawl, start HERE .
Make sure to check out each DT member's blog for some awesome inspiration! There will be PRIZES along the way at some of our DT members' blogs, AND there will be a Grand Prize up for grabs at FCCB for one participant that submits a "Harvest Blessings" project at FCCB!


For my project I created a "Thankful" sign  as part of my dining room centerpiece.  The Thankful is in front of some pumpkins that I welded using my Gypsy then I added the cute little turkeys from Create-a-Critter to either end.  This sign has many more possibilities besides a centerpiece, it could easily be adapted to the mantel or add some twine or raffia and it could be made into a hanging sign for your wall or door.

If you would like more inspiration for Harvest Blessing projects please check out an earlier post HERE.




Recipe:
Cartridges:  Create-a-Critter, B is for Boy & Gypsy Font
Assorted Cardstocks: red, oranges, browns & yellow
Stampin Up Chocolate Brown Ink
Charcoal Chalk Ink
Green wrapped floral wire
Adhesive
Foam Dots

If you like what you see I would love for you to become a follower, so I can share my creations and ideas with you.

Now it's your turn! Let's see your Harvest Blessings projects!  Make sure to include a Cricut cut somewhere on your project and be sure to use the colours BrownOrange and Red as well!

Next stop… Melissa's blog, at Create with the Cricutkateer .  Go and see what she has in store for you today.  And when you're done, make sure to link up your project to FCCB's Fantabulous Cricut Crawl post to be entered into the contest!
Happy Crawling!

Melanie
