Calling Card 2012

Ok Circlets.  Here is my calling card for this year:

The skull is from the Cricut Craft Room Exclusive Zombies and the phrase is from the Cricut cartridge Phrases.

Of course, I had to embellish...  I added glitter to the skull and "you", zebra ribbon, embossed with the Swiss Dots folder and finally added a rhinestone to the bow.

Just thought I would share a sneak peak with what I am creating for Circle Mania.  Can't wait to see everyone and meet new friends!

Oh, and here is the CCR file.  It is easily changed into a 3x3 mini gift tag simply by using a piece of 3"x6" black cardstock folded in half for the base:

A Simple Sympathy Card

Our next Cricut Circle blogiversary challenge:

The Challenge: Create a project of your choice using a monochromatic color scheme. Your project must include atleast 2 different Cricut Image Cuts.

I broke out my new Cricut Cartridge Phrases to make this card.  I figured that I wanted the wording to be the  key subject of the card and this cartridge is perfect for that.  I also used some hand dyed seam binding that I made earlier this week.
