Miss Your Face-BBTB2 Challenge
Hello my crafty friends, a happy Monday to you all! We are supposed to have 3 to 6 inches of snow today, so much for Spring. :-( Today I am host over at BBTB2 and I asked for my fabulous Design Team Sisters to use any card feature on any Cricut cartridge. This is a feature I rarely use and knew I could use some inspiration. I hope you go check out the fabulous cards my DTS made, they are awesome!! For me, I decided to send my son who is currently deployed in Afghan a card to let him know how much we miss him. I used the Wild Card 2 Cricut cartridge along with my Spectrum Noir markers to give the hair texture and to put a nose on this poor girls face. lol I'm not an artist, but think it turned ok. At least DS will get a kick out of it. lol I used my Viva Pearl pen for the spots on the glasses and pearl earrings and glossy accents for the lenses, can't tell in the photo though. A little doodling with my white gel pen, which I'm bad at and really shouldn't try to doodle!! But once you start you have to finish. A little chalk to her cheeks and I called it done. I cut the envelope as well and put the same sentiment on the back of the envie. I hope this puts a smile on his face when he gets it!! It is important to keep up the spirits of the deployed soldiers in my mind. So this will go out in today's mail to him. I hope you will check out your Cricut cartridges and make a card that is on one of your carts! When you do, please come and link it up with us, we so love when you play along!! Thanks for looking and remember you all are awesome to me!

Brenda, this is fabulous. And so perfect for your son. God bless him.
Ok, this is seriously cute! I have never noticed that cut before. Well done!
What a great card. You son will get a good chuckle. Like Melanie, I had never noticed this cut before and I am thinking of all the things you could do with that face... OH my the wheels are turning...! Of course the I miss your face sentiment is open to a lot of fun too... Oh bad Brenda - you have made me want to go play in the scraproom!!! LOL.

I love this Brenda. The face is so darn cute. I love the glasses, earrings and the sentiment. I think you did an amazing job chalking the face. Thanks for a great challenge,
I enjoyed this challenge! Your card is awesome and sure to put a smile on your son's face. Love the ear rings and glasses and doodlin'.
What a fantastic card!!! Your son is gonna love it!! That face is just way to cute. Love the earrings. :)
Boy all the doodling, chalk, nose, and detail on glasses really made this look great! When I was perusing the Wild Card 2 handbook, I kind of felt ho-hum about this card, but no more! After seeing yours, now I want to try doing something with it too! Perfect sentiment for the card for your son-I'm sure you're extremely proud of him and miss him terribly!!!
This card is so funny I saw it almost used this one , but thought I would do the mojo thing - You did a great job on it.
Also -- like you I thought I was on my blog for one minute while I was visiting yours how funnny _We must like the same things. Have a great week and thanks for all the inspiration you know I love BBtB2 and all of you designers.

Fun, fun, fun my friend. Your son is sooooo going to love this when he opens it. Of course, any mail from home will be wonderful for him. I know he's missing you. My prayers are continuously going out for Lance's safety.
