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 !

Gift bag for teacher

Hi everyone !! Happy Wednesday !! Today I am sharing this back to school treat bag, I made for my sons teacher . She loves Reese's pieces , so the inside is filled with them , as you can imagine I was eating some while I worked on it . I made the bow with red wired ribbon , thanks to my sister in law Karen ,who taught me how to make these . The school house is my first project from clip art that I took apart and made into a school house !! The trees and the bushes and the gate are from my cricut , and the school sign is from my silhouette !! Thank you so much for stopping by ! I hope you have a wonderful day !!
