Award!

This award was given to me by my Crafty, Bloggy friend Chris from http://craftemama.blogspot.com/

She created this award with no rules, no work and no requirements just so she could show her crafty friends some love. :)  She said she was inspired by my projects but I'm the one blown away by what she can do with her talent and her crafty supplies. Can't wait to see what she comes up with next!!!

THANK YOU CHRIS!

I would love to pass this award along to my Crafty Friends!

Thank you all for sharing your talents with me and inspiring me to do my very best!

This Throwback Thursday challenge asked us to use a Cricut Lite Cartridge or any older cartridge and lots of sparkle. Since I don't own any of the Cricut Lites just yet, I decided to go old school and use my Accent Essentials cartridge for this challenge.

Polka Dot pattern Paper

Polka Dot Ribbon

1" circles cut from Accent Essentials

Glossy Accents and Glitter Glue
