For this month's hop I used Word Collage and Campin' Critters to create two separate projects.
I have wanted to try a canvas project for a long time now, so I decided to try one using Word Collage. I started with an 8x8 canvas from Michael's. I then painted it with all my fav colors (well except the yellow, that was added for a pop of bright color). 
Then using my Gypsy I used the collage for crafting. I sized it slightly smaller then my canvas at 7.25 x 7.25. I cut this out on contact paper..this is cheaper the vinyl and because I was just going to throw it all away it made sense to use the cheapest medium.
After "picking" out the pieces I wouldn't need I covered it with backing tape and laid it on the painted canvas. I then painted the entire canvas again, covering all the letters, in black.
Once I peeled off the plastic letters my canvas was complete! Super easy actually.
For my second project I used Campin' Critters to make a one page layout. I can't get enough of this adorable cartridge. We do alot of camping in the summer so it will get tons of use!
I based my layout on the "project" in the booklet. I love to do to the projects in the booklets because it helps me understand the different cuts, features and sizes. I'm not going to make you read all the sizes of the cuts because they can be found in the booklet. I used mostly scrap paper. I've been forcing myself to do this because I have two huge, unorganized piles and I want to use alot of it up before I try to organize it some how LOL. This is a picture of my husband hanging our new post sign on the edge of our camping property.
I hope you are enjoying our hop and your Easter weekend. I am actually camping right now, coming home late tonight to make it to Easter dinner with the family! (oh it's soo nice to have grown children to take care of these things now!!) Now please so visit Tracy to see what fab project she has made!
