I named myself The Crafting Professor, since I'm a crafter, and I'm a college professor. I went through many, many years of graduate school, and the best source of relaxation and stress relief was being in my craft room or going to a local crop. Back then, I never told anyone that I was a full-time graduate student. I was waiting for the day I would scrapbook my graduation page. Now, I run the ScrapbookerPhD challenge blog (http://scrapbookerphd.blogspot.com), and am bringing my passion for crafting and teaching together. But here, at The Crafting Professor, I'm just sharing my work with like-minded crafters from all over the world.

Out at Sea

Happy Monday and welcome to another Monday challenge!



Challenge #220 Wet and Wild

This Weeks Sponsor
Winner will receive 3 Digis
~This Weeks Challenge~
Wet and Wild
Create a project related to water

To qualify for the prize, be sure to use at least 1 Cricut cut on your project and if it's not obvious, let us know what cartridge you used.


For my project, I decided to recap one of my favorite vacations. My husband and I were in the Caribbean under the warm sun. We took a short boat ride to a private island for sun and sand and surf. Then it was off to scuba dive through coral and then off to swim with dolphins. I captured each of these elements with this box card. 



The clouds and the sun are from PPnB Designs (this is a free cut file). The boat was cut from the cartridge, Just Because Cards. I used the patterned paper from the Celebration Stack by DCWV for the sails. The island was cut from the cartridge Pack Your Bags. I used a subtle patterned paper on the tree. It is by Crate Paper and has leaves on it. Finally, the dolphin is from the Cricut set Whales and Dolphins.
