A cool bloggy award From Molly!

Molly at Army Wife Learns the Cricut sent me this really cool award last week. Im just a tad bit late on getting this posted :) Molly leaves me the nicest comments, Im glad to have found someone who is just as passionate about the Imagine as I am. Thank You Molly for this awesome award.

By accepting this award I must complete the following tasks:

1). Thank and link back to the person who awarded me

2). Share 8 things about myself

3). Pay it forward to 8 bloggers that I have recently discovered

4). Contact those bloggers and tell them about their awards

Wow Eight things about myself...this should be interesting lol...

1. I hate spiders...really hate them. And they hate me too.
2. Photography is my first passion, papercrafting is my second.
3. I hate jewelry. I dont wear any at all. I like it and think its pretty, Just not for me. Sucks for the hubby when it comes time for gifts.
4. Major Tomboy here, see #3 comment :) I think I own one dress. My favorite outfit is jeans and a tshirt. For fancy occasions I pull out the one dress. I need to work on being more feminine.
5. Im a country girl. See comment 3 and 4...it all ties in. I have lived in the city before. But miles away from the city really is nice.
6. Even tho Im a Tomboy, I cry everytime I watch a Disney Movie...And the Notebook...I think I cried for a week strait. And I cry still everytime I watch it.
7. I was in the FFA in Highschool and raised Sheep and Horses. I would love for my children to have that experience. My daughter is currently taking riding lessons.
8. I have never been to a foreign country, I have been to a couple states. And I love Nascar races.

Wow by looking at what I wrote above I think Im def a country girl lol...

CCC #51

Hello Friends,

This post is long overdue, This is the first time I have sat down at the computer all week. I have been pinned down to the couch with my son all week. I dont mind at all. I do however feel completly behind and out of the crafting loop. My son came down with Pneumonia last Sunday, and has been running real high fevers for going on two weeks. Everytime I think his fever is broke it comes back. Poor little guy. Please keep him in your prayers and postive thoughts!

So onto the card, Make a card for Thanksgiving, using any cartridges you’d like and the colors Blue, Brown, Orange, Yellow and White ONLY.

I used Wrap it Up for the flourishy flower, and the card base is from Birthday Bash. I had something else totally planned out in my mind. But it came out looking like this. The tag is also from Wrap it Up. I was at a total loss on what to fill the up the empty spaces with. Buttons always work lol. Sentiment is from Scrappy Moms Charmed Life stamp set. Paper is from DCWV. I have recieved about 5 carts in the mail, and they have patiently sitting ontop of the Imagine. Im hoping I can dig into them this weekend and get back into the groove of things. Have a great weekend everyone. And be safe out there with the crazies on black friday...Im one of the crazies lol...

I would LOVE to make some of these for my granddaughter!!! I would be the coolest grandma around. I would love to see a video on how this is done there seems like a lot going on to do this and does your font have to be reversed when its printed? Such talented people on these hops. Thanks for sharing

To answer your question Mindy,
I have asked for a flip for xmas, so I will be doing videos shortly!! On some transfer sheets, yes you have to flip your images, I have noticed that you flip on the light transfer sheets. On the dark ones you just print out your image normal.

Hope this helps.
And thank you for being a twoscraptasticgals friend,

Meriah
