I had such a great little blog vacation, but I am so glad to be back posting projects for you guys today!! I hope you all had a wonderful and safe holiday! It is still so hard to believe it is 2011. I made well over 300 projects last year with my cricut and I would imagine I will make that plus some this year, so stay tuned. Joy and I have some great things up our sleeves for this next year. You are not going to want to miss it!
The beginning of a new year means the start of a diet for me. I have been mentally getting prepared for it for a few weeks now. Fingers crossed it goes well. I am very determined!
On to the flower card....It have to tell you that the Mother's Day Bouquet mini is just one of the best mini's so far! I just love flowers and this cartridge has no shortage of beautiful ones! You can just layer these cuts so many ways and make yourself a paper flower garden that is so beautiful to look at and fun to make!
 |
| I cut the flowers the layers out at 3 1/2", 3", and 1". The leaf is cut at 2". |
 | ||
| This stamp and paper are from Papertrey Ink. |
 |
| I added a button in the middle to add just a little more sweetness to the card. |
 |
| I got the yummy ribbon from a quaint little shop in Waxahachie, TX. |
Thanks so much for dropping by today! Make sure to stop by tomorrow and check out the fabulous project Joy has for you! I just love everything she makes!
Make sure you stop by my blog today too because I have a card posted made using the NEW Best of Pixar cartridge. I just love that cartridge!! click here ==> Courtney Lane Designs
Have a wonderful week!!

Good luck on the diet Melanie. I've been a chunkette most of my life, so I know how hard it is to lose.
Love the card. I have no idea how many things I made last year... I could figure it out I guess, except doing that would take too much time away from creating!

I am a new cricut user (just got mine a few days ago). I was searching around for things to create with my new cricut and came across this blog.. I love the fact that the cards you make with the cricut are not the plain old cards you buy in the stores.. They are so much more.. This is really a beautiful card.. I can't wait to try it myself.. Thank you so much for sharing this..
Very Pretty! I would not have thought to use those papers for a flower(different colors, same design) love it :)
I've followed you ladies(Joy, Melanie & Tammy) since the beginning of "Christmas with the Cricut". I'm so thankful that you all have shared your Talents with me. May God bless each one of you in 2011 :-)
What a pretty card! I love the flowers on this cart! TFS!!

Thank you so much for sharing that beautiful card! I really want to make more cards this year since we don't have much money for gifts. I figure a handmade card with some pictures of my kids tucked inside would be welcome by most of my family! And thank you for the opportunity to win.

Beautiful card!!! I felt the same way about this cart when I checked it out, but expense wise...I have sworn off anything that isn't absolutely necessary!!! Very sad, but true.

As always, another beautiful card. Always a delight to check my email for your latest creation. Thanks for sharing!

Loved the card. The combination of patterns and soft colors worked very well.
Did you added any embossing to this project or was it strictly the cut outs and stamping?
Very nice blog, I will definitely continue coming back to check your projects and get inspired.
I debated about buying this cart--but I broke down and ordered it last week. Now I am really glad I did.

I am new to Cricut and love your articles, they are so full of wonderful ideas, thanks
What a beautiful card. I love how you used patterned paper for both the flowers and leaves. I seem to shy away from that. I love seeing it done.
Very pretty. I'll have to check into this cartridge.
