2013 Navajo County Fair projects...

Can you guess what I have been busy with?

 

That's right...

SVGCuts has done it again...

I used the Summer Street Carnival SVG Kit & the Happy Trails SVG Kit

to make these projects

 

Here is a picture of the projects before it went to the county fair...

 

 

The 3D boot from the Happy Trails SVG Kit

 

 

the Farris Wheel from the Summer Street Carnival SVGCuts Kit

 

 

Here is a close up of the Farris Wheel before I took it to the fair...

all the details I added...

I really like how it turned out...

I made some rosettes using a Lori Whitlock file that can be found

at the Silhouette America Online Store...

(you can also get this file on her website, in .svg format)

 or

Now I entered the boot in a western theme cowboy 'Booty full Boot' category...

it's a category that is open to all age participants to decorate a western boot...

I did not think of adding any extra to this boot...

as it was a VERY last late entry in to the fair...

I was not going to enter it, but I wanted more projects to enter...

and I did not plan on it being in the category, I could not enter both projects

in the same category/class...

 

so I never in a million years thought it would win a ribbon...

 

 

let alone a 1st place~ blue ribbon...

OMG it was a hit with the judges...

 

Next I added the Farris Wheel from the Summer Street Carnival SVGCuts kit

 

Again a late entry...

I have not doing much crafting lately...

kind of burned out right now...

so my darling son said I needed to get 'back' into making things

I love most

"3D paper crafting'...

 

so a few weeks ago I started this project...

and finished it just in time...thank you Alex

 

 

a close up to show all the details I added, Sunday before I

turned it in to the Navajo County Fair later that night...

 

 

a bigger picture of the entire project...

 

So you ask

"how did it do"

 

well take a look at the wonderful ribbons I earned

with this project...

 

 

I know Right...crazy...

I saw the blue ribbon and was so excited...

than the HUGE purple ribbon...

(I almost started to cry)

I could not tell if it was

Best of Show or Best of Class...

so I asked one of the judges there at the fair...

 OH Yeah Baby...

the Purple Ribbon is HIGHEST honor you can get at Navajo county fair

BEST OF FAIR...

I could not believe it...

a few years ago I entered a bunch of projects

and did very well then too...

but never heard of a purple ribbon

Best of Fair

I know, right...

 

I have decided to enter these projects into the

Arizona State Fair...

we will see how I do against all the crafters in the

good ol'  state of Arizona...

so cross your fingers and toes...

the state fair starts in just a few weeks...

Oh I wish I lived closer to the State Fairgrounds...

I would love to see them there..

but 3 hours is not so close..

so I wont get to see them on display or

how they did at the State Fair until they return after the fair...

you see the State fair does an outreach program

they will pick up the projects for the Sate fair after

the county fair is over, and submit your projects for you...

very nice, huh...what a great way to encourage

more participation throughout the state...

 

I will try to remember to post the outcome at the state fair... 

I still can't believe I won that honor at the county fair...

 

well I best get busy making some more cool 3D projects and cards...

 

Let me know what you think of these projects...

would love some blog'n love...

 

C ya all later...and remember

 

It's a MyGrafico Monday Challenge Post...

This week I decided to show you a couple of  neat freebies MyGrafico has to offer...

I used 2 of them to create this darling purse card...

SVG Purse Invitation Card by Shery K Designs
&
Love Bug Clipart by Sanqunetti Design

I used my Cameo to cut the SVG file...
you need the Designer Edition of Silhouette America to
allow to cut svg files...or you can use SCAL or MTC, too....
but with Silhouette America DE I opened the purse svg file...
then added the digi paper to it...using the print and cut feature
that this program has to offer, I love it so much...
I traced the clip art in order for the Cameo to cut the little bug out too...
added some wire, that I curled around a stick to make it curly...
added a paper bow from Silhouette America online store...

MyGrafico Monday, Here again...

Well, it's Monday and that means I share with you a MyGrafico file/project

This week we worked with

The Wild West

by Mel's Brushes

 This is a fun western set, you can use them as a brush in your Photoshop or like program...

or use them  as a vector EPS, PNG or JPEG (like I did)

I pulled the image onto my Silhouette America Designer Edition virtual mat and used my Cameo

to cut the star. I first traced the image then pulled it from the original art.

Then cut the image... Easy Peasy !!!!

I used the rosette file by Lori Whitlock to make the cute backing to the star...

put it together on a Lori Whitlock self closing box...

so cute !!!

Be sure to check out the other design team members for inspiration using these

wonderful vector files.
