Paper Playtime Challenge and The Fantabulous Cricut Challenge

I found this challenge over at Paper Playtime. The theme is BBQ!!
The challenge can be found on the Paper Playtime blog at:

Today I found the same challenge over on The Fantabulous Cricut Blog!!!!!
How great is that... I love when I can enter one card into two challenges!
The Fantabulous Blog Challenge can be found at:

My hubby really loves BBQ, so this challenge is just made for his cards. I've made a few, but this is my favorite one! This card is an easel card (actually my first one).


The important info:

Cricut Cartridge used:
Everyday Paper Dolls

Other materials:
Red sheer ribbon
silver embossing powder
Studio G Stamps
Gel pens

Obviously, I made this card for Father's Day so it's a little over a month old, but I still love it! This card was also the inspiration for quite a few easel cards in that time! :)

A second card I've made with a BBQ theme was actually a "thank you" for a co-worker of my husband. She gifted him a BBQ tool that allows you to cook a chicken with a can of beer inside. Know what I'm talking about??? Here is a picture of that one!

Thanks for looking... please become a follower if you aren't already. I'd love to share my crafting journey with you!
