I have a website where I've attempted to sell some of my crafts, but I'm yet to receive any orders! lol. So, I've decided to change it into a blog. I will no longer be posting on here. Please go to my new blog and sign up for email updates! There is a box on the right hand side where you do it.
Here is the link:

See you there!

More Valentines Cards!
Here are a few other cards I made, but never sent out. It's hard to let go of some of them!!
All of the paper is from Cosmo Cricket. I got "Amor" from Rock Princess. I outlined it with a think black pen, then I covered/glued clear micro beads to it, to give it texture. The heart is also from Rock Princess.
For the inside of the heart, I cut 1/2 inch x 3 inch strips of coordinating paper. Then, I stacked it, so I made a square with each layer of four colors. For each layer, the square gets smaller. The hard part is covering it on the other side so there isn't a huge bump inside the card. I covered it with extra thick paper (not shown) and put a bit sentiment on the inside to help cover it up.
Next!
I have a slight obsession with tiny banners. I recently got the Martha Stewart Cake cartridges, and had to use the AWESOME banners on it! The banners alone are worth the money!
I found this paper in my stack from Valentine's last year, so I decided to use it up. "Valentines Day" is from Rock Princess. This is the perfect font for this holiday! I used pink DMC floss (I got a variety pack for $20.00 + 40% off from Hobby Lobby) and glued each pennant to the back of the floss. I threaded the floss through Papertrey Ink buttons and glued them to the card. I did not glue the pennants to the card, so it would be flowy.
For the inside, I welded the three hearts cut from Martha Stewart All Occasions, to give the inside a little something.
I'm almost finished with a big banner for the next Cricut Circle Monthly Challenge. I'm so excited to show it to y'all! Hopefully I'll be done with it tomorrow.....
I have a website where I "sell" some of my crafts, such as my flower bouquets and jewelry I've made. I put quotation marks around sell, because I haven't sold anything! lol. So, I'm thinking I may move my blog over there. I use GoDaddy.com and it is soooooo much easier to navigate. Plus, I can make it A LOT prettier than this monstrosity, lol!
Until next time!

Circle Magazine Challenge
Okay, this is going to be really quick, sorry!
The challenge was to use four different cuts and incorporate something edible. So here is my take!
The info:
Cuts
1. Sweetheart is from Songbird
2. and 3. The two dicer tags in the background are from Gypsy Wanderings
4. The gumball machine is from Sweethearts cartridge
5. The heart cut out (to fit the heart cup) is from George and Basic Shapes
The edible item I chose was Valentines Nerds to look like mini gumballs in the gumball machine.
I got the heart cup for Christmas. I was looking for a great card to use these, and here it is! They are from Stampin' Up (FABULOUS!)
All the paper is from Cosmo Cricket (MY FAVORITE!).
I hope I win! I want a Cake mini! =)
