Guess what? The January calendar I made on posted on January 1st is featured today over at Fantabulous Cricut Challenge blog. How cool is that?
Here's a tag I made yesterday. I can not believe how the background paper and ribbon matched exactly. Wow! What's the odd's of that? The paper is textured cardstock that came in a 12x12 Hobby Lobby dark solids pad. The ribbon came from The Dollar Tree. I was hoping to find a ribbon similar in color, but was really surprised when I pulled out my ribbon drawer and saw this matched so well. Who would have "thunk" it?
I am really loving my NEW PRESERVES Cricut cartridge! I know it's an older cartridge, but wow - the layering is so simple and the images are awesome. LOVING IT!
