Cricut Circle Challenge #1

      Post an image or picture for your inspiration for the item that you would like to make.

I found a stamp idea on a stamp site. It’s a. . . ladybug, of course.  J

 The first pic, is the stamp. The second one is my re-creation of same. It doesn't look exactly like the stamp, but the concept is very similar. 

Cricut Circle Challenges

The Cricut Circle Message Board had some crafting challenges, so I partook.  Here are my entries and the criteria for each challenge.  I’ll post them separately.  J

Happy 6th Birthday, Bailey!

Well, li'l Bailey's 6th birthday was on Oct. 24th.  Hubby wasn't here that day, so we postponed it until the week-end.  Then, his momma lost the pix she took.  Finally, they showed up!  Phew!!  There were a LOT of pix on that SD card.  I was sooooo scared that it had been lost forever.   Sooooo, here are li'l Bailey's birthday pressies:-

Updated Cricut Cartridge CheckList --- August 23, 2013

Hiya!  It was brought to my attention by someone who was "on the ball" that the Cricut Cartridge:- "Heirloom", was missing from my list.  :-(

If you're not concerned about the Cricut Imagine tab, you don't need to print off this updated list but, if you are, here's the updated CheckList-

This is the cartridge in question:-

Sorry for my blunder.    :-(

Hope you're enjoying this CheckList.  It's saved "my bacon" a lot of times, in that I know which cartridges I own and don't end up buying duplicates.  J
