EC - Count your Blessings

Happy Monday

Today is a new challenge at Exploring Cricut.  This week our challenge is called "Count Your Blessings".  You are to create a card, layout, or papercraft celebrating Thanksgiving.  You can use any colors or cuts just as long as you use your Cricut and Cricut cartridges.

After I took down the Halloween banner I made, that space looked pretty empty.  Figured I should do something for Thanksgiving.  Especially since this was the only Thanksgiving decorations that made it out!  EEK!  ;)

I learned a lesson about this project today.  After I made it, I saw a bunch of stuff that just bothered me.  My ribbon was not even, my paper was not even.  I had wanted to put a peachy keen stamp on my turkey but I made it too small.  I was kinda feeling bumbed about the whole project.  My 6 year old dd saw it and said "Mommy I love it".  Everything just seemed perfected after that!  ;)

Carts:  Elegant Edges, Plantain Schoolbook and Create a Critter 2
