Sweetie Pie

 Good Monday morning!  I hope your week will be a terrific one.  My scrapping pal and I did a full day of scrapbook shopping on Friday and it was so much fun.  Can you believe I only came home with 2 pieces of paper and no ribbon?  That's a record for me.  But, don't ask me how many stamps, embellishments, and ink pads I bought - went a little crazy there. 

Today is Challenge Me Monday at Fantabulous Cricut.  Our theme this week is "Piece of Cake" .  The design is to include a cupcake or some other baked good.  Of course, a Cricut cut must be part of the design. I chose the pie from Block Party and the sentiment from Just Because cards.  I've had this fruity and checked paper for quite awhile and I think it's just right for this project. I also thought the baker's twine and button made the perfect embellishment.  I inked the pie crust using a fingertip applicator and added a few Stickles for the sugar topping.

Come on over to the Fantabulous Cricut blog and enter your design for a chance to win this week's prize.

Hugs and Happy Crafting,

Many Thanks

I was at JoAnn's yesterday and had selected the Damask Decor cartridge.  Of course, when I took the card to the register, the cartridge could not be found.  I hate when that happens during their sales.  But, as the clerk was looking through the locked area, I did see the new cartridge, Phrases, so I bought it instead.  And guess what?  I LOVE it!!!  I really like the new feature in the handbook that suggests a minimum size in order to get a good clean cut.  I think that's going to be very helpful when cutting the more intricate images.

So, on to my card.  We have friends in WA who grow Walla Walla Sweet onions.  For the last two years

they have shipped us a case.  My DH is in heaven eating his sweet onion, garden fresh tomato, and bacon sandwich. I wanted to send them a thank you card.  I found the onion image on the Block Party cartridge and the sentiment is from my new Phrases cartridge.

Tomorrow is the debut of Louby Loo's newest release.  Be sure to stop by to see my 2-page layout featuring her new Fall Kids digital stamps. 

Hugs and Happy Crafting,
