Hi Everyone!!! I hope you all had a great weekend! Wow, it went by way too fast :( I did a lot of traveling over the weekend to go back home for a wedding shower for my nephew's bride to be who will be getting married in about 4 weeks. We had a blast and such a wonderful shower.
I also did some shopping with my daughter to try and find me a Mother of the Bride dress for her wedding. We had a lot of fun and found 3 dressed that we liked. We have a few more bridal shops to go to and one more trip to the big Mall of America before I will decide. Talk about a stressful decision, lol! I am a bit behind on blogging and commenting......I will be trying to get caught up this week~thanks so much for understanding !
Today is another Challenge Me Monday over at Fantabulous Cricut Challenge Blog The challenge this week is: You did it!! Make a graduation theme project. Be sure to include at least one cricut cut:)
My card base is 5 x 5 and the base layer at 4 3/4 x 4 3/4 . I cut the cute owl from the Create A Critter cartridge at 3 3/4 plus the layers. The graduation hat is cut at 1 1/2 from the Something to Celebrate cartridge.
I added orange googly eyes and some fun stitching along with a double sheer black bow. The sentiment is from My Creative Time ~This & That set.
I hope you stop by Fantabulous Cricut Challenge Blog for all the details and check out what the amazing DT has made for you:) Come join in the challenge~ We would love to see your graduation themed projects!
I am entering this in a challenge over at Creative Cutter Room ~Graduation Theme
Thanks for visiting,
