It's Monday and time for a new BBTB2 challenge. Our fabulous DT Sister, Julia, has really stepped up to the plate this month and given us gals on the DT some great challenges for the rest of the month. For this week's challenge she asked us to create a project with something on it you'd find in a bakery. I was very excited to use my new Cricut cartridge that I purchased at Walmart the other day. As some of you may know my husband and I live in our RV. We just returned to our summer campground on the shores of Lake Huron in East Tawas, Michigan. When we left here last September I was very upset that they had removed the craft department in the Walmart that's just down the road. I was so excited when we made our first trip there last week and found they put the whole craft department back in including the Cricut section. Even more exciting I found several cartridges that were clearanced to $25 and picked up four of them. Sadly, Love You A Latte was not clearanced, but I've wanted it since I first saw it and paid the full price for this one. I used the two different donuts, the pretty cupcake, the teapot and the sentiment to put this card together. I started with a standard A2 base card of cream cardstock. I added a brown scalloped mat that I cut from the Elegant Edges cartridge. Next I cut the teapot from of pink polka scrap of My Mind's Eye paper at 2.5", the sentiment at 1", and the goodies at .75 and 1". For the finishing touch I embellished with a beige bow and a crocheted flower. There are no shortages of bakery goodies you can find on Cricut cartridges so I hope you'll join our challenge this week at BBTB2. Remember, you must create a new project for this challenge and it must include a CRICUT cut, since this is a Cricut challenge site.
And now, I'm off, literally! We are on the road again. This time we're not pulling the RV, though. We are finally off to see our family. We're so excited because we're going to see our oldest granddaughter graduate and our youngest grandson celebrate his first birthday. My son will also be home on leave from the Marines. We haven't seen our family in so long. I just can't wait to hug all those grandbabies. It will be a busy week, but FUN! Thanks so much for coming by today. And to my fabulously talented Design Team sisters--I've looked at all your wonderful projects and I'm so impressed with them all. Forgive me if I don't get by your blogs to personally comment on your creations. Please know that I'm spending some well deserved and long awaited time with my kids and grandkids.
