Guest Designer - My First

I'm so excited!!! I have been holding the secret in for about a month now and today I get to share with all of you. Abbie at Cricut Me That asked me to be her Guest Designer for September's First Friday Challenge. The theme this month is Breast Cancer Awareness. Breast Cancer Awareness month is actually October but we are getting a head start. Here is my card. I will hopefully post a few more items on my blog for next month that center on the theme. I actually wanted to create a necklace but didn't have a chance. So, I'm done rambling. Here's the card. Enjoy!

Materials:

8 1/2" x 5 1/2" base

1 1/2" square punch

Divine Swirls Cuttlebug Embossing folder

Cotton Candy Stickles

Frosted Lace Stickles

Corner Rounder

I-Rock pearls

Martha Stewart flower stamps

Cricut Me That - August First Fridays Contest

Hey scrappy friends. If you are on Facebook, I could really use your help. I am in a contest with some stiff competition. I need you to go on my profile page and read how to "like" my card. I really would like to win something finally. Thanks in advance.

Girlfriend Challenge

Over at Cricut Me That, we were given the challenge to create anything with the theme of girlfriends. Well...I have been slacking on getting in touch with some very special friends in my life and I decided to make one a card. Though we have not lived in the same city nor do we see each other often, we manage to stay in touch with one another. We pray for each other and best buds! When we do get together, it is as though we never left.

I used the Forever Young cartridge to cut out the shows on the front cover. The actual card measurements and plan are inspired by Mary over at CardzTV. She has some great ideas and instructional videos. The pink leopard paper is from the Untamed Safari pack. You may not be able to read the card but it says, "Thanks for being such a great friend. I miss you much! Christel A friend is someone who sees through you and still enjoys the view. -Wima Askinas". I used my computer to print that out. Enjoy!
