New challenge at Exploring Cricut today!

Today at Exploring Cricut we are starting a new challenge. You are to create a card, layout, or paper craft for Spring using at least 1 button, 2 Cricut cuts, and 3 colors of pattern  paper or cardstock.  What a fun challenge to get ready for those Spring pictures.  With being sick last week, I am totally looking forward to Spring except my allergies will probably disagree!  Here is the page I am sharing for this challenge.  I used the cartridges Quarter Note, Easter 2010, Walk in my Garden, and Pop Up Neighborhood.  Below are the directions and materials.  Please join us and enter your project by Saturday, April 13.

Finally something to post

I haven't posted in a few days, but I have been working on some projects for the upcoming challenges at Exploring Cricut. I have been battling a bad sinus headache for a few days and my allergies are driving me crazy so I am only doing a little bit at a time. I can't take anything because it all knocks me out! Now for my project today. We stopped at Bath and Body over the weekend because my husband likes some mens body products they carry and the little bag was just too cute to throw out! I am the queen of saving stuff to recycle so I decided this could be turned into a cute gift bag and card with just a little paper scraps and my trusty Cricut. I used the cartridges Pop Up Neighborhood, Walk in my Garden, Fancy Frames, Stamping, Wedding, and Stretch Your Imagination. Below the pictures are the cuts.
