CEC's Very Special Challenge

Hi everyone, over on the Cricut message board Cynthia is hosting a very special cartridge challenge. April is Autism Awareness Month and we are making cards or projects for some very special children. The challenge is to incorporate a puzzle piece into your project, you can use any cartridge that has one or you can use an actual puzzle piece. She didn't want to leave anyone out who would like to participate in the challenge. For more information here it the link to the message board thread http://www.cricut.com/messageboard/tm.aspx?m=6445745. For my project I used a puzzle piece from Printing 101 and welded a rectange in Design Studio to make it look like a buckle. I used SU stamp set Flight of the Butterfly and the SU butterfly punch.

First Stampin Up Card

Hi everyone, I received my Stampin Up kit yesterday and made my first card from it. I used the Bella Toile background stamp, I love this stamp you could use it in so many ways. I stamped it on Whisper White cardstock with Basic Black ink and then colored it with Stampin Pastels. I cut it into three pieces, used the Ticket Corner Punch and framed each piece with Pink Passion cardstock. I stamped the Chocolate Bunny and cut it out and pop dotted it on and I used the Modern Label and Word Window Punch with the Sentiment Happy Easter from the Teeny Tiny Wishes stamp set. This set is a must if you have the Word Window Punch, I had bought the Mixed Messages from Papertrey Ink which I like but these fit the punch so much nicer, not all of the MM does. I know there is a big price difference, but in the long run you will use this set much more.
