My Blinkie and Blog Anniversary Giveaway

Hello Everyone ~ Whoooo! Hoooo! I figured out how to make my blinkie ready for my bloggy friends to grab and put on their blog. I have had my blinkie since April, but just couldn't figure out how to make it so it could be grabbed. My blinkie was designed by Paula from Sugar Shack Designs. I had won some blog candy from Scrappin Hens and Paula was one of the designers. I provide the graphic and she did the rest. I love how she did the animation on the letters scrappinc and then made little stars on the flower. So today I thought I am going to figure this out. LOL! I did some research and I found some wonderful instructions at the cutest blogs on the block. They have a secrets area on the top menu. Under the secrets menu there was a list of blog how to's. I clicked on how to make a grab my button box and it took me to Manic Mother . She has some wonderful and simple instructions. It was so easy, just follow her instructions and you are set. 


Stay tuned for more information on my Blog Anniversary Giveaway! YIPEE!!!!


Have a super weekend!!!!!


Happy Crafting!

Cricut 360 Challenge #2

Hello Everyone ~ I thought I would take a break from posting the wedding album layouts. I have 6 more pages to post and then the album is complete.
I haven't entered a challenge in a super long time, but was curzing around all of my bloggy friends blogs and discovered the Cricut360 challenge.  The challenge was to make a round Thank You Card. Of course by great friend Patty at creativediva is one of the design team members. Make sure you check out both blogs they are all so talented.
Well here is my entry for the challenge, hope you all like it.

Card is from Accent Essentials Cart cut at 5.5 inches
The tank robot is from Robtz Cart cut at 3.5 inches
The Tank You is print from my computer on shinny sliver paper
Paper for round card is the new cuteMates sponsored by Megan at Above Rubies Studio
The robot is from DCWV Nursery and the orange purple and black are from scraps.
Googly eyes of course and bling

The paper that I used for the round card cutMates is awesome and it makes nice cuts on the cricut, smooth and clean. That always makes everything terrific.

This card was a blast to make.

Happy Crafting!!!!
