Happy New Year and Winner!

Happy New Year everyone!!  I can't believe it's 2012 already--time sure does fly :)  Here's a quick card I made the other night.  I had some trouble with my E2 around the holidays--it wasn't cutting.   I was trying to cut out bunches of snow flakes and wanted to have 2 machines going at the same time. But at least I still had my Pink E to keep going.

So I sat down with my E2 the other night and just used it without my Gypsy to cut this hat from Cricut American Alphabet.  I was so happy that it worked!!

Here are the details:

• Cricut American Alphabet hat cut at 4 inches
• My Pink Stamper Happy Everything stamp
• Denim Twine from The Twinery
• Doodlebug Petite Prints Blue Jean Dot Grid paper
• Action Wobble
• Blue Skittles
• Stickles

Now that you've gotten this far, I have the winner from my 1000 follower giveaway :)  Thank you so much to everyone for the sweet comments.  I would love to send you all something, but I only have one winner today.  Random.org picked:

Fantabulous Cricut Challenge Me Monday

Hi everyone!  It's Challenge Me Monday over at Fantabulous Cricut.  Today's challenge is called Try this Angle--use a retangle and a triangle on your project.

I chose to make a scrabook page and used a sketch from Jana Eubank.  The polka dotted paper is my rectangle and my journaling is in the triangle :)

Here are the details:

• Letters cut at 1 inch from Cricut American Alphabet
• Dotted rectangle cut at 11 inches tall from Plantin Schoolbook
• Triangle cut at 5 inches from Cake Basics
• Leaves cut at 1 1/2 inches from Cricut Essentials
• Pattern paper from DCWV Green Tea Stack
• Blue ribbon
• Signo White pen

I think it's hard to see in the picture but the letters are also cut out of pattern paper that matches the mats behind the pictures.

I hope you all take time to play along with the Fantabulous Challenge this week!!  Make sure to visit the blog and see all the designers fantabulous projects!!
