Dear Ones~
After a brief holiday hiatus over at Just Us Girls, we are back with a new challenge. This week is WORD WEEK, and our gal Ina has chosen the word NEW. Most of us crafters have received at least one new thing for Christmas, so we are inviting you to use it to make a card.
Here's my card:
My Dear Hubby gifted me with a new Cricut Explore Air 2 for Christmas!!! Needless to say I was blown away - I ADORE this machine. I haven't even touched the surface regarding what it can do. I cut that pretty doily in the background....look how intricate. I'm just THRILLED!!! Also new is the die set from PTI called Noted: Scallop A2 Die Collection. It cut out that wonderful scalloped note card.
Here are the Ingredients:
Circut Edge to Edge Cartridge
SU Detail Dragon Fly Thinlits
PTI Noted A2 Scallop Die
SSS Handwritten Borders Stamp
KaiserCraft Limelight Patterned Paper
I would like to welcome our January Guest Designer, Shawna Standish. Her work is AH-MAZING!!! Check out her BLOG and see what I mean!!!
Please visit the JUST US GIRLS

and the rest of the team have made this week. And remember, if you win

there.
Happy new year Judy! Your card is lovely! Yes, the die cut doily is fabulous! What a great gift from your hubby! He knows the way to a ( crafty) girls heart! lol I will try and join the challenge.
ReplyDeleteBeautiful! What a wonderful and thoughtful husband you have. I love that doily and gorgeous dragonfly.
ReplyDeleteMajor score from Hubby!! This card is so pretty! Love that scalloped edge, and the die cut doily is gorgeous!
ReplyDeleteEnjoy your new toy, Judy. I've all but given up on my Cricut and I won a small Silhouette and never learned how to use it. I love that large dragonfly sitting atop your newly cut doily.
ReplyDeleteOh, Judy, this is beautiful! I love the Edge to Edge images! That's one of my favorites. You did a fantastic job inking the doily. Looks fantastic with the dragonfly! Have fun with your new toy.
ReplyDeleteWhat a sweet guy to get that for you. And, I love the doily you made with it. I am sure you will enjoy it a lot and your card design is awesome. Just gorgeous in every way!
ReplyDeleteWOW!! this is gorgeous. Love how you inked the doily and that dragonfly is the perfect touch. Have fun with your new toy.
ReplyDeleteThat hubby is sure a keeper for sure! What a great gift! You are going to have so much fun! I still have my Cricut but it's the original model and I still intend on keeping it and using it more than I do now....hopefully! Your card is fabulous! Love the doily and the dragonfly! Happy New Year and stay warm!
ReplyDeleteStunning and oh so beautiful Judy. I am sure you are going to show off so many more amazing creations from that new gift.
ReplyDeleteWhat a nice card! The doily is so pretty as is the wonderful dragonfly! This is an extra special sympathy card that will be much appreciated.
ReplyDeleteFabulous blues to light up the reader's eyes! Isn't it fun to rev up your creative time with a new toy ... I mean, "tool"! Enjoy your paper crafty times to come in 2017!
ReplyDeleteWow! What a great Christmas gift! Can't wait to see other things made with it! Lovely card!
ReplyDeleteThat dragonfly looks fabulous in silver
ReplyDeleteYour card has inspired me to make something similar using all SU products. It is lovely. TFS
ReplyDeleteGlorious! Another fabulous doily....may have to check out your old toy, but I guess that would mean selling my Cameo, hmmm... I love how you sponged it with ink, lighter to dark, so pretty! Beautiful die and awesome dragonfly for whatever reason they were abundant at our resort, they are quite magical I think! FAB card, my friend!
