The Cutting Cafe Card, and the winner of my blog candy

Hi all---Happy Sunday to you! I have made this adorable little dress card today with files from THE CUTTING CAFE-Dress Shaped Card 2. This dress file also comes with many embellishments -such as bows, and buttons, but I have once again used some of my rub-ons----I have so many and rarely use them! I also used some SU stamps for the flowers--which I had never used before--I  really like them!

I also wanted to let you all know who won my blog candy--random.org picked #2-and that means: JAMIE has won--congrats Jamie--email me your snail mail addy and I will get your package out to you right away!

My blog candy ends in 3 days....

Hi all!
Don't forget to enter my blog candy--it ends in 3 days!!!
You can find the link to it HERE-BLOG CANDY.

I need to vent.....

all right--so my daughter and I just cut an image out of one of the newest cricut carts I have purchased---Twinkle Toes...Dancer5 cuts out backwards!!!! when she cuts out her bow is on the opposite side it shows it in the book--thus when you cut out the bow--it is backwards and does not fit properly! Am I the only one who has found this problem?
 And as long as I am venting....I guess I will take it one step further and say that I am SO DISGUSTED with the cricut rewards program!! I have 490 cricut rewards and I was going to turn them in for a set of cricut mats 12x12--I thought that was pretty cool to be able to get that with the rewards! NOT!!!! Sure you can get it ---if you want to pay $11.88 in shipping!!! I THINK NOT--when I can purchase them like I did last week at JoaAnnes for under $10-----

Hmnn... I really don't feel any better!

a new card

Hi all - hope your Tuesday is being good to you! I have made this card with an image that I must have gotten as a freebie--I had re-named it Spotty Dotty Watering Can by D2D. I am sorry I have no idea what the D2D means--but if you know--let me know and I can give proper info! This is for a lady at work-hope she will like it!

Marlene is right!!! This image is from Designed 2 Delight---thanks Marlene!!
