1st client :D

Funny Story...so my brother told me one night, "I will pay you all of the money in the world to make me a card." Lucky for him, I don't sell my cards, so I told him that I would make him one. Plus it was for one of my sorority sisters :)

I asked him what my sister liked and he said, "Pink and Zebra Print."

This is what I came up with...

I then added the ribbon to connect them.

Good Morning everyone! Today I am showing you a complete scrapbook album that I created in 1 day. I only have the weekends off to do homework and plan lessons, so I challenged myself to get it done the day before the 15 (which was on a Saturday).  

One of my mom's friend's daughter wanted me to create a scrapbook for her and I haven't done a scrapbook page in awhile, so I decided to start with this album. I have missed scrapbooking and I am going to start again :)

MAY MONTHLY CHALLENGE: Tic Tac Toe Challenge!

I love the May challenge from the Cricut Circle Blog because I like the idea of using a row from the Tic Tac Toe challenge. I also love the PRIZE! They are giving 5 winners an E2!!! I created a side step card using the 2^nd row in my project.

I used the French Manor cartridge for the peacock and the tower and the Rock Princess cartridge for the crown.
