Cricut Cardz Challenge # 61

This week over at Cricut Cardz our challenge is to make a Valentine's card using any cartridges, and the colors blue, green and white ONLY.  This is what I came up with.  I think he is a cutie!! Come join us this weeek!

Did the Groundhog predict 6 more weeks of Winter?

February’s famous forecasting rodent, Punxsutawney Phil, didn’t see his shadow at Gobbler’s Knob in Pennsylvania, a supposed sign that warmer weather is not far away!!!!  Yay!! I know, I know I'm in Arizona but it is still colder than ever here. My heart really goes out to my Blog friends that live where the weather is just unbearable.

This week over at Cooking with Cricut our Challenge Theme -Ground Hog Day Salute...Any project with a "Shadow" either title is shadowed or a die-cut has a shadow, etc.   This is my first time using Melin's face turtorial http://cookingwithcricut.blogspot.com/p/tutorials.html  give it a try they are super cute!
