Cricut Circle Weekly Challenge #27: Make a Game Plan Challenge!

This week's Cricut Circle challenge is to  Create your own sketch (card/layout) and then make a project with it and project must be newly created for this challenge and include at least 2 Cricut Image Cuts.

My sketch is the last of the three pictures.  I used Ashlyn's Alphabet for the letters, Designer's Calendar for the 2011, and the Bloom cartridge for the layered flowers.

I wanted to capture the blooming of the Cherry Blossom trees in Washington, DC.  The landscape photo shows the Tidal basin around Washington DC and how many trees are in bloom. 

My daughter, son-in-law, and granddaughters spent the day enjoying the blossoms in full bloom. Hope you enjoy.

I made this card to Thank my wonderful daughter who fixed at least ten family meals to put in my freezer when I broke my knee.  It was such a tremendous help to have the meals to just heat and eat.  I have been truely blessed by such a thoughtful and giving daughter! AND she has two precious little girls to keep her busy!
I used my new Imagine and used the "Serenade" cartridge to cut out the birds and the birdcage.

Cricut Circle Weekly Challenge #25: Use Your Imagine-ation Challenge!

I just got my Imagine two days ago and it took me six hours today through trial and error, a call to Cricut for help, to create this card for my Mom.  SO, here is my first try at using my Imagine.

I cut two Imagines from the Imagine cartridge and layered them and then used my Cricut Expression to cut a square with Mom on it.  The butterfly is a stamp and I inked the edges in pink and sprinked a little glitter,
