Hi!

I am a Christ follower blessed with a faith-filled husband, 2 incredible sons and so much more. God is so faithful! Being the only girl, I am always surrounded by hockey, baseball, football, muscle cars, loud noises, and all the wonderful things that make men who they are. But, I was born a girly-girl and like everything pink, frilly, and with jewelry and makeup added! Often I’ve felt as if my disjointed, but blessed lifestyle is overrun by testosterone! But, I have found that God is perfect and He knew the balance I needed ~ the perfect men in my pink-colored world: pigs in champagne!

CC Weekly Challenge #50: Under the Weather

It's been a while since I've been able to participate in a challenge over at the Circle. I really miss them! I am hoping to join in more this year and this is my first entry for 2012. I was inspired in my design by a card in the January edition of the Circle magazine (Bicycling by Michele Kovack).


The Challenge: Create a Get Well card or gift set for a friend, family member, or acquaintance. Be sure to incorporate a Cuttlebug embossing folder, kraft cardstock, and string somewhere on your project.
Rules and Guidelines: Circle Blog Challenges are open to Cricut Circle Members only. Your project must be newly created for this challenge and include at least 2 Cricut Image Cuts.


Inside:

Goldfish: Splish Splash
Frame: Elegant Edges (I had to hide/contour a rectangle inside the shape) cut in three sizes
CB: not sure the name of the folder but it reminds me of fish scales!!
Blue rik-rak, red/white twine, and clear dew drops from stash
Sentiment: M's $1 bin
The background paper and red paper for the goldfish is from  DCWV's 4.5 x6.5 stack, "Taj Mahal". It has lots of glitter and shine. I used a copper DCWV paper for the goldfish's fins and I pop-dotted him.  Really is way cuter in person w/all that dimension.
