Birdcage

I worked on a card today for a challenge from Embellish Magazine.  Head on over to check it out and play along too!  They have some great challenges over there!  For this color challenge, we had to use brown, green, and pink.  I used my French Manor cartridge, burlap, and other odd and end embellies I had laying around.  Thanks again for coming by and I hope you play along!

Lemons & Limes

How's your Wednesday so far?  Mine is great - busy knocking out some quick projects that have been on my list!  One of those items is a card.  My daughter is going to a birthday party this weekend and we decided to get the makings for homemade popsicles - complete with popsicle molds, apron, and mix.  She chose a lemon theme for her present (man, where does she get the ideas for themed gifts!!?? hmm...) She asked me if I would use the Cricut to make a card (of course!) and off I went to my studio.  When I first opened the French Manor cart, I was thumbing through the book and saw a border that reminded me of lemons, which was funny because I think it is intended to be windows - but that's thinking outside the box, right?  So, using the colors in the apron we found - a lemon card is born!  Just think, you could use this image for limes, oranges, grapefruits too!  Thanks for stopping by!!

Fancy Schmancy

I have finally used the French Manor cart that I received as a member of Cricut Circle!  I am thrilled with how this card turned out, so simple and elegant.  The card was based on the Sketch Challenge over at Peachy Keen Stamps.  Thank you for taking a look at my creation!  Come back later to see what my daughter created on her own - yes, I'm creating a crafting monster!!
