Hi there

Hello and HAPPY FRIDAY! This card was made entirely with the Lovely Floral Cricut Lite cartridge. I LOVE this cartridge! Not only does it have a gorgeous font, it has a bunch of really pretty images too. I used Cher a.k.a. my Gypsy to weld the scalloped circles together to create my card base. So, that's the card for today...Onto some other info for ya's......

I spent a few hours yesterday going back and labeling my posts so I could have a list of my projects made with specific cricut cartridges. So, on the right side of my blog there are now clickable links that will take you  directly to projects made with whatever cartridge you would like to see. The list is NOT complete as I have WAY more cartridges than are listed so far! I have a sickness, I admit it! ☺ I plan on trying to make and post a project from EVERY SINGLE ONE of my cartridges so that the list can be complete. PHEW I'm tired already! HA I am sad to admit that I have a few older cartridges that have never been used! That is PATHETIC! LOL So, I'm going to dust them off and give them their chance to shine in the glistening lime green glow of the cricut dude! ☺

Have a Fan-Flippin'-Tastic weekend!
Nikki

P.S. I am off to hobby lobby to get a few copies of Scrap and Stamp magazine because PeachyKeenStamps.com and the design team have a 2 page layout in it! How fun is that?! I am bursting at the seams with Peachy Pride! ☺

P.P.S. My friend Emma from MyCreativeTime announced her DVD today! Super duper fun! SO HAPPY FOR YOU MISS EMMA!!! ☺

Ok, for realsies...I'm really going shopping now. HAHAHAHA

Sweet Baby

Hello! My friend Beca has asked me to make her baby shower invites, and this is one idea I came up with this morning. I used the Sugar and Spice Cricut Lite cartridge to cut out the adorable little giraffe. I made her a girl by giving her a pretty pink bow around her neck.
The patterned paper is from the Itsy Bitsy Baby Girl stack by K and Company. I swear the colors look much better in real life. The stamp is from PaperTreyInk.com.  REMINDER there is still time to enter for the $15 gift certificate to PeachyKeenStamps.com and the Paper Doll Dress Up cartridge! Just leave a comment on the Blog Hop post for your chance to win. PLUS make sure you check back here tomorrow for yet another GIVEAWAY!

Have a cricut-tastic day!
Nikki

Here is the sketch for this challenge
