Sketch #160

I'm not sure I'm thrilled with my card but here it is!! I fussy-cut the cupcake from the WalMart pink, fun paper kit. The number paper was in the stash. A bit of baker's twine. The Happy Birthday is a roll-on rub-on from Archiver's and I really had to watch how I rolled the saying on the paper so I had at least one whole Happy Birthday saying on the card.

I thought I was following the sketch but I didn't follow it as closely as I should have. I had some tags and used those for the big oval in the sketch. The paper is from the WalMart fun paper kit. A few jewels on the strip and a bit of pink twine completed the card. I don't remember where I got the sentiment.

I did run into WalMart for a bit of shopping during the June quilt retreat and purchased this paper in a kit of pinks, owls, and fun. I fussy-cut the 3 little owls and added green ribbon to the card. The little sentiment is a Studio G $1.00 stamp. 

Another New Cart on its Way

 While I was ordering the Teddy Bear Parade cartridge, I saw this one and ordered it too. It is titled Children Around The World. It is a Cricut Lite cartridge too. Hopefully, I'll save it in my travel album and on a bulletin board at school.

Doing a Happy Dance!!

I'm doing a Happy Dance!! Cricut just released a new cart!! 

I have to have it. 

TaDa!!

 It is Cricut Lite Teddy Bear Parade. 

Isn't it  too cute? It looks like the bear is the same little guy but so many little outfits. 

I hope it will have some sayings too but I didn't see any sayings in the promo pictures. 

I showed the cart pictures to my hubby.

 He quickly agreed that I NEEDED this cart. (Isn't he so smart? ) 

I mean I only have about 600 stuffed teddy bears in my house and every year as Media Clerk, 

I talked about teddy bears in the kindergarten and 1st grade classes.

I have really ordered my cart today on Cricut.com. 

Since it is a Cricut Lite, I didn't think I would ever it in Walmart around here. 

The Walmart around me are getting rid of the scrapbook area or severely limiting the area.

 I haven't seen any Cricut stuff in the local Walmart in a long time.

A friend had said that Cricut was getting this cart out soon. 

But when I asked Cricut in a email earlier this month, they didn't know anything about a teddy bear cart.

 I had asked Cricut Support so they probably couldn't say if it was in the works or not.

I can't wait to get my new cart!!

 All the cute little teddy bears on the cart! 

                                 Below are a few individual cuts Cricut.com had on their website.

Here's the latest OWH sketch. I don't have a card made yet with this sketch as I have been traveling to Vermont and back for a week. I plan to use the Riley parade stamp and bunting. I had tried to put a new post on this blog but the wilds of Vermont doesn't like new technology. The WiFi worked but it won't allow me to post. Of course, my cell phone rarely got a signal when I was in VT, ME, and NH, much to the hubby's chagrin.

The younger siblings had a milestone birthday and the siblings minus one were there to celebrate. Then my older sister and I stayed a bit longer and toured around a bit, traveling up to Maine and New Hampshire. Our hubbies are both happy we are finally home. My older sister and I visited 2-3 quilt stores, buying fabrics for some future quilts or her stash. Unfortunately, I didn't find any scrapbook stores, having to buy some items on sale at WalMart and Joann's. I believe that the bigger stores have carried scrapbook supplies till finally the LSS went out, now the bigger stores are clearancing more of their scrapbook areas. grrrr. It is hard to find papers of places or milestones at the bigger stores. They have to carry the same things in every store. However, I did just place an order for a variety of travel papers online, as I couldn't find any VT, ME, NH, and NY papers/stickers around here. I love to go to a LSS in Michigan but I am done traveling for about a week. If you are in the Detroit area, stop by Scrappy Chic in Livonia, http://scrappychiclivonia.com/ which is a great store with a wonderful travel section. I should go down to Red Letter Journals in Grove City http://www.redletterjournals.com/ as it is one of the last LSS in the area and it used to have a great travel section too. Hmm, maybe on Monday.

I'll be back later with a card using the latest sketch. Hopefully, before OWH posts another sketch.

Thanks for stopping by. Later.
