I showed them my best! So it's time to celebrate with some blog candy!

For those Cricut lovers out there you probably know of the Show Us Your Best contest that they had over at Cricut.com.

Well...today I rec'd a call today from a representative from Provo Craft to let me know I won!!! There were 2 different parts to the contest and I did the 1st one which was to send in a project that I considered to be my best. At the time this was it (or click here).

So I get to choose 3 cartridges!!! Whoo-hoo!!! Hmmmmm, I wonder which ones they will be...

Maybe you can help me chose...right now I have AE, Alphalicious, Beyond B-days, Celebrations, Christmas Cheer, Cuttin' Up, Doodlecharms, Doodletype, George, Mickey Font, Mini Monos, OA, PDDU, PS, Printing Press, Stamped, TBBM and WIMG (holy-moly, I didn't realize how many I had until now!).

I'm pretty sure I'm going to get the Wedding Solutions cart, but tell me of a cartridge you have that I don't that you really like and why you really like it...and for your help I will pick one lucky winner of the following blog candy!



Items are:
-DCWV Scrapbook Kit in a Stack "Color Blocking"
-Colorbok Chipboard Punch-outs of monograms, numbers, frames and accents pcs
-Bo Bunny A Gift of Love Purse Board Book

Altered Over the Hill? card for the Cricut "Show us your Best" contest

As some of you must already know Cricut had a "Show us your Best" contest in which the winner gets 3 carts of their choice and their project will be featured in the next Cricut infomercial. So...I took the design of the card that I had the most fun making and coincidently the most carts used! In the original design I used 5 carts but I decided to make some changes to this version which I ended up adding another cart to the recipe! I used the CDS and there was one cut that I made that I had to change the cart 5 times!

Here's the recipe for this version:
Cricut carts: AE, Celebrations, Cuttin' Up, Doodlecharms, Doodletype and Opposites Attract (strangely enough I didn't use anything from Beyond B-days).
Stickles: Xmas Red
Blossoms: Making Memories Jumbo Daisy Spotlight
Various rhinestones and self-adhesive gems
Cuttlebug: D'Vine Embossing Folder
Ribbon: Offray Stripe Red-Bk and red ric-rac
CS: White, Black, Red, Brown, Metallic Papaya, Neutral Tan
DPs: DCWV The Glitter Stack











For the rest of the pictures that I did exactly the same for this project and also of the different inside of the card design, click here.
