CraftWork Cards: Thank You so much!

Photobucket

Hi! It's Janis from Pause Dream Enjoy 
here today to show you a project using the CraftWork Cards CANDI product.

I love my Cricut 50 States Cartridge. Since my family travels so much, I just think it's cool to be able to use the various die cuts in this cartridge on scrapbook layout pages for places we've been.  I used this cartridge on my project today, but not because it's representing some travel we've done, but because I love the birds in this cartridge.

You can look up the STATE Birds for all 50 states ... HERE.

The Bird I'm using on my project today is the North Carolina State Bird, the Northern Cardinal. Here are 2 photographs of this bird of the male and female. (Photos from ... HERE.)

  2. The black and kraft colors remind me of the sunflower seeds I leave for them! Very pretty card! I didn't know that cartridge had birds on it. Darn . . . I may have to get another one!
