Happy 3rd Birthday Exploring Cricut!


Welcome to another fun bi-weekly challenge at Exploring Cricut!  Diane and company are celebrating a big milestone today!  The Exploring Cricut blog is now three years old!  And to celebrate we are having a hop! 
 
The challenge this week....
 
create a card, layout, or paper craft celebrating a birthday event... 
 
It can be any color, but must include at least 1 button, brad or jewel...
 
So here's mine with a tiny silver brad adorning the top...
 
 
 I used Cricut's Staight From the Nest cartridge (all cuts at 3.75 inches...)
 
I used Cricut Craft Room to weld two white party hat bases together and then cut a layer of orange and white DP.  Instead of cutting the top and trim, I opted to use some cotton balls added with glue.  I fastened a silver brad (don't ya love the bling?) and a tiny orange flower to the brim.  So fun!  Now you HAVE to see all the projects the other ladies put together!  And don't forget to leave them some love! 
 
I'll be back in a few hours with another stamping project!  Thanks for stopping in!  {{hugs}}
