Circle Weekly Challenge #24: St. Paddy's!

The Challenge: Use rainbow colors OR a monochromatic green color scheme on your project. We also want to see you add a touch of gold somewhere on your project.

Yes I know...it is yet another decorated tree.  ; )  I really wanted to make St. Patrick's Day Cards for my girls to enter into the challenge or tags for the gift boxes but on of my little girls kept getting up all night and my time line for getting them done was gone.  I only had time to make them green cookies with green frosting and slip them into quickly made gift boxes.

Circle Weekly Challenge #14: Getting In Shape!

Sorry I have been gone so long.  I have been so busy over the holidays and I am finally able to come back and get started on new projects for the year.  Well here it is a Valentine's Card for my baby girl!  I started with my youngest daughter; Taleah. She is 2 years old and has really been into dress up lately so I thought she would really enjoy this card.

Rules for Circle Weekly Challenge #14:  Getting In Shape!
According to polls, “getting in shape” is among the Top Ten Resolutions people make each New Year’s Eve. Let’s do it! Let’s start the New Year off right by getting in shape . . . a shape other than a rectangle. We challenge you to create a project in a shape other than a square or rectangle. Your project must also include a number somewhere and bling of some kind (to go along with this week’s theme of “Blinging in the New Year”!  Must include at least 2 different cuts from any cricut cartridge to qualify.

I designed this heart card on my Gypsy.  I have been very bad about making anything on my Gypsy and I think it should be my New Year's Resolution to use it way more often!  I love my Gypsy but just don't know much about how to use all the awesome features so I avoid using it.
