Busy in a good way Monday !!!

Happy Monday everyone !!! 
Warning: lots of photos and info
(exciting info and cute photos) !

Today I am happy to share two projects with you . 

One of these is for BBTB2 , 

it is the start of a new challenge and 

our theme this week is St. Patrick's Day ! 

The second is a card I made for
Fantabulous Cricut Challenge Blog 
and
Craftin ' Desert Divas! 

When I first began to blog , I only had my Cricut ( which I love ) .
I was hoping to find a Cricut based community to share my love of Cricut with .
I found it in Fantabulous Cricut and in
 Bitten by the Bug 2 and Exploring Cricut blogs.
I was hooked on these , I would try to create something every week following the themes .

 I have used my Cricut in the past year more times than I would have imagined !!! 

I am truly happy and grateful to have found these blogs !!
I was very honored when I was invited to be a guest designer on FCCB !! 

This week the challenge is to follow a sketch. I am not too good with sketches , but hey practice makes perfect !! At CDD we are in our second week of our 

" Birthday Linky Party " !!

I decided to combine the sketch and the birthday theme to create my birthday card !

Finished music to my soul frame

Happy Friday everyone ! Wow this week sure did fly !! Today I am sharing this frame I made from my fancy frames cartridge . I incorporated the music notes because Fantabulous Cricut is doing a music themed challenge. I was inspired by this silver frame I have on my desk, I love swirls ! So I decided to make one that matches our bedroom colors which are Black and Tan ! This is one of my favorite pictures of my husband and I ! We are at our one of our favorite places (Disneyland) during our favorite time(Christmas ) every time I look at this picture it brings a smile to my face ! I love it so much I am also doing a matching scrapbook layout with the same theme , I will share that one tomorrow ! Hope you enjoy and feel inspired to create ! Have a wonderful day !!
