Chomp! Punch! Challenge! -- Celebrations

Is it Wednesday already???  Oh, so many challenges I've missed this week!!  Ya know which one I did NOT miss???  M.A.G. Challenge by the Page!!  I had something all in mind for it, but it just didn't work out for me...  Sooooooo...  After lunch today, I decided to take a few moments for some Scrap-Therapy, I took a look at what I needed to do and use and create...  And voila!!  Imagine me doing the happy dance now...  :)  Need help with that?  Looks a little like this...  :)

Check out these challenges that I was able to enter my card into:
M.A.G. Challenge by the Page #18 -- Celebrations Cartridge page 130 ONLY
More Than Favors Wacky Wednesday -- Manly Challenge
OWH Stars & Stamps -- Cards 4 Kids
Creative Sisters Challenge #4 -- Anything with a Punch
I'm thinking there was another one, but I'll have to add it later if I think of it...

Anyhoo...  I wanted to make another card that I can send in for OWH (Have ya checked them out yet?  I love the benefits I get of doing something nice for someone else!!), and they requested cards that can be sent home to children...  I'm really hoping there's a hero who would love to send this card to their son or daughter!!

M.A.G. Challenge by the Page... Those of you who have followed me for a while know that this is one of my FAVORITE challenge sites -- Why. you ask?  Well, I love, love, LOVE my Cricut, but sometimes I think it's easy to fall into a pattern of letting the PC people out in Utah do all the imaginative and creative work (which is GREAT!)...  And I start to miss not being able to 'see' something new...  So M.A.G. does just that for me -- You only get to use your Cricut for the cuts on ONE specific page...  The rest has to come from embellishments or other tools (like PUNCHES!!).  :)  So page 130 of Celebrations has only these cuts:

I cut three 4" tags using the blackout feature and 25 half-inch triangles also using the blackout feature...  Those cuts would become the head and teeth of my, um, crocodile?  Alligator?  Dinosaur?  Help, Peyton...  Tell me what this is!!  :)  I then punched a whole bunch of punches with my circle makers and layered them to create the eyes and nose...  I hand cut the tongue from red...  Used my Crop-A-Dile to punch a hole for the 'jaw' joint (a light green brad covered with a circle punch from the 'right' green).  I dug through my stash to find some ABC stickers to spell out 'chomp!'...

Since the Wacky Wednesday Challenge at More Than Favors was to make anything for a guy, I thought this was perfect for that too...  I mean, it's for a 'little' guy, after all!!  :)  I left the inside blank (added a liner to each side since the front of the card had a few layers on it)...

And, finally, I am the Guest Designer over at Linda's Creativity this week (for the Creative Sister's Challenge #4)...  The challenge is to use a punch (or many punches) to create a card, layout, or project...  If you haven't entered to WIN one of The-Girl-Child's Punch-Art Flowers, I'd love for you to do that by CLICKING HERE...  You can get an extra chance in the drawing by entering your project over at Linda's Creativity too!!
