Exploring Cricut ~ Cricut Choice Challenge ~

Welcome to another fun bi-weekly challenge at
Exploring Cricut! 

 

The challenge this week....
 

 Make a card, layout, or paper craft using
1 pattern paper, 2 cricut cuts and 3 colors. 
It can be any
theme!

This week I chose to work with French Manor and Nursery Rhymes to create this cute thank you card!

I cut the rooster at 4.5 inches (Shadow and figure).  It came from Nursery Rhymes.  I then cut the sentiment at 1.5 inches. (From French Manor...)  The pattern paper I chose is actually from a Christmas paper pad.  But I really like the paisley design and thought it worked nicely with my theme.  I then used one red sequin to dot the I in Merci. 

Thanks for stopping by!  And until next time....

Blessings...

Exploring Cricut ~ Merci!

Welcome! What a wild few weeks it has been. With my mother's accident and subsequent surgery there has been little time for crafting. But so many people have been so very kind to pitch in and help me. So there is definitely no shortage of people this lovely thank you card can go to!

 For today's project I pulled out a new cart for me, French Manor, to capture a bit of elegance for Exploring Cricut.
