Cricut Circle #39: A-B-C, 1-2-3 Challenge!

Happy Sunday!! Hope you're having a great weekend! I am! I've been doing some scrapbooking and challenges and that is always fun!! The challenge for this week on the Cricut Circle blog:

The Challenge: This week our challenge is inspired by all the kiddos heading back to school. It is a recipe challenge of sorts based on ABC, 123. Please include (A) Pop of (B)right (C)olor on your page, as well as 1 of something, 2 of something, and 3 of something.
I needed a wedding card for my niece so I thought I would combine the 2! Boy, do I need to work on building my cards stockpile! 

Needless to say my pop of color is the red rose! I used 1 ribbon, 2 embossing folders and 3 layers! The 3 layers are self explanatory! and I used 4 carts! for this one little card! Wild Card for the base, Teresa Collins Baby Boutique for the scallop circle with the black center and the flourished ring around the circle! As soon as I saw that on that cart I knew I was going to use it for a wedding card! There are several beautiful cuts on this Imagine cart that I knew they would never be used for baby!! The patterned paper behind the TC Baby Boutique is from Audrey. Love the colors on that cart! Especially love the teal and black and white. If I hadn't had this cart I probably would have bought TC's black and white cart! And the last cart is wedding! The 2 folders I used were the damask (?) and swiss dots. You can't tell from the photo but the bride and groom were cut using the Walmart Opalescent white, very pretty IRL!
Thanks for stopping by again! I have a fair chance at winning, since its random! Prize is $25 at Cricut.com.

Finally getting around to the Wedding album!

I've been reading blogs and playing catch up too much to get the album started! Wedding was beautiful. It was very hot. 105 that day! And of course I've been researching all of my carts for embellishments! I also bought 3 more carts I'd been eyeing and they came up on Ebay late 1 night and I could help myself! I just love that "Rock Princess". My granddaughter is a Rock Princess! That one had been calling me since I saw it on the "Chirp"! And Country Life is so darn cute too! Cindy Loo is just precious! I think Rock Princess is going to be my favorite for a long time!!

Grab a drink and/or snack! This will take a few!

I also got invited to a "crop" by a friend. Her church has started one up! Woohoo! I had a blast! I was able to help those ladies with all kinds of things! A few weeks ago one of my friends had been asking about scrapbooking and saying how she can never find what she wants in lower case letters and I told her about the cricut and SCAL! My 2 favorite toys! She went out and bought a Cricut and brought it to the crop! I was able to help her a lot! None of those ladies had ever had any experience with one. They'd seen them but was afraid to buy it and not be able to use it! Now they are all going to get one!! I told them all about the message board and those wonderful angels, for help and ideas, and they told me to "stay by my phone! Cause I'm their new bestest friend" I love it! And they were really blown away by my Gypsy! They didn't have room to learn that to in the same night they said!!

So this is the front! I used the bride and groom from the "wedding" cartridge and cuttlebugged the dress. The book is from Tuesday Morning. Love that store too! It was on clearance for $5! Its 8x8. I thought the buttons looked kinda hokey all by themselves for a wedding album, so I added the lace. I like that a lot. I was afraid the paper wouldn't stick too well to that material so I used black vinyl for the black layer. Worked great!! I have a ton of that because I bought 15 yards from Sign Warehouse for $1.00. Not a typo! And only $6 shipping. Still cheap!! I probably will change the "Treasure this Day" rub on. I didn't have what I wanted! All the letters I have that I liked only had 1 "D"! Wedding unfortunately has 2! If I find or make what I want, I'll repost!

I hear the white zinfandel calling me! Are you ready for 1?! Thanks for stopping by!
