BBTB2 WIMG Wheelbarrow Challenge and Blog Hop


Welcome to the BBTB2 Blog Hop! If you have arrived from Lori's Blog, you're on the right track. If not, you might want to start at BBTB2 so you don't miss a thing. I'm hosting the challenge this week and chose the wheelbarrow from Walk In My Garden. Although it's an oldie, it's still one of my faves. I've welded the shadow of the wheelbarrow to a big full moon from George and pumpkins from Holiday Cakes. The sentiment is from Holiday Cakes as well.


Yes, it's a shaped front card. You know that's my favorite kind to make. I've re sized the rounded rectangle from George for the back. The background DP is from Memory Box. I've embossed the wheelbarrow with the Cuttlebug Distressed Stripes folder and the full moon with Polka Dots.


In some cases, I've cut the image more than once and done some trimming to add more layers, like the middle pumpkin and the green vines. The wheelbarrow was also cut in several colors and hand trimmed to add more detail to the cut.


Isn't this jack-o-lantern a hoot? I stickled the yellow layers of the pumpkins so they looked like they were lit from within, and embossed several with Swiss Dots.


Here's the dimension shot. I couldn't resist adding some non-Cricut embellies, like the leaves and Rain Dot bats. I sprinkled in a few adhesive beads, as well. Now hop on over to sweet Krista's Blog but before you do, please leave a comment for a chance to win a $40.00 gift certificate to Custom Crops. They have a Spooktacular BooTique, chock full of Halloween goodies, as well as new Holiday items and plenty of Tim Holtz, so be sure to start a wish list in case you're the winner! I'll be drawing the name (with any luck, LOL) on Saturday, so be sure to check back because I won't be hunting you down. Now remember, you have two weeks to complete each challenge and we'd like to see a "new" project and please link back to BBTB2 so others can join in the fun. If you don't have the cartridge, you may use a similar cut. In this case, I'm not sure there are any other wheelbarrows, so a wagon would be a fine substitute.

  43. Donna,
    This is just too awesome! And I have all the carts so I can actually try it out. I've done the pumpkin, moon and bats from the Holiday Cakes cart but never thought out putting them in the wheelbarrow. Thanks for the heads up on my blog. I don't always get to every blog I like to visit every week.TFS Sue

  48. Can I just say that you really stumped me with this one, LOL! But obviously you had NO problems whatsoever!!! I am so glad you have the close up shots--love all the little "details" you added. Those pumpkins are FABULOUS--I didn't even know they were on that cartridge! Outstanding job my friend!!!

    ReplyDelete
  49. Donna, this is fantastic! I love all the layers and details, especially the wheelbarrow itself! Personally, I can't push a wheelbarrow -- that little front wheel is just so out of control! But I love the old wooden ones, whether real life sized or card sized. They add country charm that is ageless. In other words, I LOVE this card!! Hugs!

  53. Seriously, Donna, every time I visit your blog it's a bittersweet experience. Sweet, because your cards are just simply amazing and I am wowed by each one. But bitter because they are so dang inspiring and it makes me want to make a fun DS card too but I've got zero hours to get anything done. I just love all of the cuts on this one and those gorgeous colors, not to mention that pumpkin with the huge grin!
