It's A Pirates Life for Me!

Good Wednesday morning fellow crafters.
How are you all doing today? I am fanatastic! One more day until my Friday! WOOT!WOOT! Today I am going to share with you a Pirate's Game I made for the Cricut Circle June Monthly Challenge. The theme this month was to make a project(notebook,game, planner etc....) for a Road Trip.
So, since our family is really taking a roadtrip to the Redwood Forest in August, I thought this would be a geat game for the kids to play in the car or in the camper.

I used the Buccaneer Imagine cartridge for the whole project. There is a treasure map already on the cartridge so I used that as the board for the game. Next, I cut out 4 pirates at 3.5" for the game pieces.
Then I cut out the No Trespassing sign, cannon and treasure chest to give the game board some depth.

I also made these game cards from the Buccaneer Cartridge, the skull paper was printed and then cut to 2" x3" cards.

So how does the game work? Well the youngest player goes first. They draw one card and then do what is on the game, the objective of the game to to get to the X where the treasure chest is. The red marks is the trail to the X.

YIKES! The monsters are out!

Hi Everyone
When the kids got out of school, I decided to make this little fun card. I do love Summer time, it is one of my favorite times of year. And the kids are out of school, so we always take a vacation in the Summer while they are out. This year we are planning on camping in the Redwood Forest in Northern California. We have never been there before so I am really excited. But in the mean time, we have to keep the kids busy with other fun.

I made this card from Mini Monsters and Mini Monster cuttlebug folders- 5x7 and Everyday Paperdolls for the briefcase and book.
