Cricut Circle Blog -May Challenge 2011

I made this card for the Cricut Circle blog May challenge. It was a tick-tack-toe challenge. You had to have 3 elements listed in the challenge that lined up...like tick-tack-toe. I chose...rick rack, a ruffle made out of paper or ribbon and a bird cut. The item has to have at least 2 Cricut cuts. This is what I came up with. I love this little bird cut from the 3 Birds on Parade-Cricut cartridge. Too cute!!!

I love these images...I just find it hard to use because it's hard to see the images...I like to have the book in my hot little hands to use. Anyways...isn't this the cutest little cupcake? Again...I was inspired by the paper...too cute!!

Flyin' High

I made this card because I was inspired by an awesome 6x6" paper pack made by My Minds Eye. I saw this paper and I thought...this is perfect for that cute kite cut. It turned out really cute.
