So the first challenge we are asking you to create an invitation using any cartridge you want. How easy- right!

 

Well here is my invitation to you.

I am formally inviting all of you to participate in the new Cricut 360 Challenge Blog. 

Let’s Get Crafty and post a project!

I would love to have many, many projects to look at this week. 

Be sure to click here for all the rules.

 

Here’s how I did it….

All paper from my stash
Card base is cut at 4.25” from Wrap It Up
The green circle is sized on my gypsy and cut at 3.56” 
Embossed green circle with Swiss Dots Cuttlebug folder
The blue globe is cut at 2.89” from Going Places
The cute girl/layers cut at 3.76” from Rock Princess, p. 33
I used PKS Happy Laces stamp set for the girls face

I added some bling and a bit of chalking.

Happy Easter!

Happy Easter Everyone. Hope you are all enjoying time with your families and friends.
It finally feels like spring in MN today. It is nice to see the sunshine again.

My hubby and I are headed to some friends for the afternoon. I got up early today and made some cute treat boxes ( inspored by my fellow FCCB DTM here) and filled them with jelly beans and other sweets for her and her kids.
Ok- the kids are all in high school or older, but you still need to get treats on Easter, right?
You can never to old for the Easter Bunny.
I also made cake pops. This was inspired by a Pink Cricut post. I did bunnies with carrot cake and chicks with chocolate cake. Boy,  are these time consuming but yummy.

I will post pictures of these Easter projects this week.

For today I have to share with you some cards I made for a card exchange I'm in.

I used the Doodlebug cards and envelopes. The cars are a tri-fold with the little window on the front so you get a glimpse of what is inside.

Most cuts are from Create a Critter, and the cow is from All Wrapped Up. 

Mini card sets like this make great mini gifts.

Enjoy what is left of the weekend!

No More Snow!

Happy Monday and Happy President's Day. Hope most of you have the day off. 

Well we were spared the huge amounts of snow last night with only about 5-6" here. However, just an hour away, there are reports of up to 17". Thank goodness, that stayed south of me. We are suppose to get another 1"-3" today. The snow plow went through really early today, so woke the dog up. Our dog, Molly, is getting up there in age and doesn't do well with flashing lights. So every time a plow goes through with the flashing lights, she gets really scared. The only solution to help calm her down is to get up and turn lights on in the house.  So once, I am up, I start checking my favorite blog friends to see what they have been up to. It sure is busy on Monday mornings in the blog posting world. 

In honor if this wonderful late winter snow storm, I did up a quick little card for you all. 

I will be linking this over at Fantabulous Cricut for their Challenge Me Monday challenge today as well as the Creative Sisters Challenge and Cooking with Cricut.

The sentiment is from Scrappy Moms Winter Wishes Stamp set.
