We are expecting #3!
Bibleman DVD review
Wild Card #27 ~ The Hello Card
I used Coordinations cardstock for the first time with this project. I didn't really like it. It doesn't sand as well as I'd like and it is on the thick side so I had to pop the cuts out. I have a few more sheets of it so I will try it agian, next time to emboss with. The envelope I used American Crafts papers. (I love them!!) The print has lil houses on it and I thought it went so cute with the phone!
Thanks for looking & see ya with another card on Thursday!

Fantabulous Cricut Project #3 ~ Bling it On
For this project I used a notebook I had purchased for 50cents at Micheal's. It had a monogram on it so I covered it with Bazzil Bling cardstock. Then I cut 4 squares and used the cuttlebug to emboss with Swill Dots. I used Paisley for the 4 pairs of shoes. Each shoe has different bling with stickles & glitter paper & rhinestones.
I gave this to my niece for her 9th birthday! She liked it! Be sure to check out more projects at the http://fantabulouscricut.blogspot.com/ website & I hope you will join in the challenges with us!

Congrats to Flowerdisco (& the others!)
I used Plantin Schoolbox for the cardholder (had to trim the side because my cards didn't quite fit) and Paisley for the card. I loved this project and ended up giving it to me niece that declared it too cute to use!! LOL!

Wild Card #26 The Branch
This is the 26th card in the booklet. I cut it at 7 inches (envelope too) and used SEI papers (the brown is DCWV). They cut so nice and I love the greens & browns.
Thanks again for looking & commenting!
The blue cuttlebug!

Wild Card #23 Flower Card
This is #25 in our book and it is a flower card. I used DCWV flower shower papers for it.
I used a piece of naked chipboard in the center and added glitter to the center of that. Honestly I was a bit at a loss to what to do with this one!! LOL!
Once again thanks for looking!

Wild Card #23 The Porthole
So today we have #23 in the series (and the 23rd in the handbook!) It is the porthole card and it is a tiny lil thing! Who knew? The card in the book showed a heart and so I decided to do something different since there was a sun on the page as well.
Ok so here is my card:
I cut the sun on the handbook page and I used the font on the cart for the HI, it is the first time I've used this font and I really like it! I used Bazzill Bling cardstock for the yellow paper and it sparkles , and DCWV glitter paper for the sun ~ the ribbon was from Target's $1 spot sometime ago!
Thanks for looking!!
Target revamped and they now sell CRICUT!!
I am just so excited!

Disney Layout
Shopping fun!!
I finally gave in and bought all 3 of these new stacks from DCWV ~ they are perfect for spring! Here are the baubles and things I got at the various stores!
Now I have special plans for both of these. My cousin Erica (link on the right ~ Sweet and Crafty Treats) plan on both doing these together and seeing what we can come up with. One is a paint can (can anyone tell me what the weight on the handle is for?) and the other is a photo cube kit... should be fun!
