Ok, today at BBTB2 our sweet and talented design team sister, Mayra challenged us to use our favorite Cricut cartridge. Boy that is hard because I can say that I truly love all my cartridges! But in the end I have to say that I'm loving all the Close to my Heart Cricut cartridges, so I picked the Artbooking cartridge. Now I have to say that this weekend was a crazy one and I didn't get time to work on my project that I usually do. I had company all day yesterday until well after supper and then hubby wanted to go out and eat. So that left me with no time to devote to my project and boy does it show. I'm almost ashamed to post this, but here goes. I used Artbooking to make a layout of my newest grand-daughter. I want to make another page to go with it, but of course I didn't get to it. I will be going back to "spruce" this one up some. It even looks like the one photo mat isn't laying flat which I didn't notice until after I had the picture uploaded. So need to fix that. I also used a Marth Steward heart punch to add to the bottom of the frame. It had a scalloped bottom but it tore when cutting, so I cut it off and added the hearts since this little cutie was born on Valentine's Day! Since this little cutie was born on Valentines Day, so I might put some hearts scattered out on the layout. And I may punch a border to go around this layout. Not sure. But here it is, such as it is right now. Sorry no close ups of anything, I was down to the wire of getting this posted over at BBTB2! lol Now please go see what inspiration my design team sisters have for you. I promise they have something much better for you than I did. Then pick your favorite Cricut cartridge and play along with us, can't wait to see what cartridge you pick! Thanks you for stopping by today and visiting a spell with me. I love when you sit and chat with me a bit. With crafty hugs, Brenda
Sweet is the perfect word for this!
