Cricut Cardz Challenge

Here is my entry for the Cricut Cardz Challenge.  The theme is "Breast Cancer Awareness".  I saw the circlescape in the Papercrafts Magazine.  Yes, I punched out all those 1" circles.  When it was finished my husband stated it was missing something.  So I showed it to my blog buddies and Gloria suggested a black ribbon, perfection!  Thanks for stopping by!

Hatty Birthday

A friend requested a card for her aunt's birthday.  The only information I received was she loves purple and church.  So, I figured a hat would meet the church criteria:)  And I used a lot of purple.  I even created my own background paper, so it would be in the purple family.

Momo's Girly Challenge

I was asked to create a birthday card.  So here is what I created.  If you do not know by now, I love love the Forever Young cartridge!  I heat embossed the paper to create this design, I was having trouble finding paper to match my vision:)  Made by Momo showed how to do this on one of her videos and I knew I would try it one day, Thanks Momo:)  I slowly purchased everything, and 3 months later, it worked.  I really love the card!!!!!  The card is 6x6.  The stamp is from the Inkadinkado, Circle and Dots set.  The lady is cut @ 5".  Cuttlebug Divine Swirl embossing folder, on the dress. Thanks for stopping by!

Note Cards

These note cards are for a special person in my life.  I made her a set for June and decided I would make her a set every month, I can never repay her and her husband for all they do.  I used FY cart and cut the hat at 3 1/2".  The paper is core'dinations from Joann's and DCWV Flower Shower Spring stack.  The white card is 4 x 5.5", from Michael's prescored recollections value pack.  I hope she is too busy to look at my blog before I give these to her:)
