Second, I actually made a project tonight for Provo Craft! They did a "sneak peek" of the newest cartridge coming Create-a-Critter 2! The first one was so adorable and awesome, I am certain #2 will be a must have too! But, you see I have put myself on cartridge restriction... no more cartridge purchases for 2012. but that doesn't mean I can WIN one!? :) I'm sneaky, and optimistic like that you know...? Anywhoooo... I used the sneak peek samples they put on Cricut Craft Room just for the contest and come up with this:
I am super excited about how it came out, considering how EASY it was! Don't you think I am a contender? Okay well if not, don't burst my bubble! Let me live in denial. LOL
Sadly the picture doesn't do it justice, but it was the best I could do tonight. It had to be submitted by Midnight... and I barely made it! Nothing like waiting till the LAST possible minute, but that's how I roll pretty often.
The entire project uses only 6 things:
Twine
Wreath Base
Glue
Pop up foam
Colored card stocks
and Cuttlebug with embossing folders
UPDATE: You need a Cricut too, I guess that makes 7 things. LOL
I seriously had a blast making this!
I am linking up to these parties:
Super cute project. I can't wait to get Create a Critter 2 and the Teddy Bear Parade cartridges as they look adorable. I just became follower #49 and tried to follow your blog via email only it said that it's not enabled??? Anyway TFS & God Bless.
ReplyDeleteThank you Vickie! I THINK I have the email thing resolved, I appreciate you bringing it to my attention :)
