Hi All,
We're doin' the crawl today...Welcome to the SEVENTH Fantabulous Cricut Crawl...
Fantabulous Cricut's version of a Blog Hop! In honor of Mother Earth, we're having a "Save the Earth" Crawl...each Design Team member will be featuring an original Upcycled-Themed Project that includes at least one Reuseable/Recycled Item along with at least ONE Cricut Cut. If you've come from visiting Robin's at, Robin's Creative Cottage, 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 our DT members' blogs, AND there will be a Grand Prize up for grabs at FCCB for one participant that submits a "Save the Earth" project at FCCB!
For my project, I used Birch Bark straight from Mother Earth herself.
I was up north at a cottage a few weeks ago and my friend was kind enough to strip some of the bark off of a fallen birch tree.
I cut this trifold card from the Wild Card Cricut cartridge.
The Leaf was cut and the bird house stamped on the birch bark. The bird was paper pieced using Lawn Fawns petite paper pack.
The clouds were added by stamping them in the same colour of the base card and I cut out 2 white clouds and adhered them to the background.
The twine for the bow is from Lawn Fawn as well.
the bird house, Bird and clouds are from a great little stamp company here in Canada called Your Next Stamp (YNS), the set is called Home Tweet Home and the sentiment is Stamping Bella
Now it's your turn! Let's see your Upcycled-Themed projects! Make sure to include a Cricut Cut somewhere on your project!

Oooh Sheila what a great card! I love the idea of the birch piece. A lot of birch around here and would never think to include that in a project like this. Wow...I will keep that in mind-very clever. I love the clouds and the sweet little birdhouse:) Fantastic project!
