Finally used my Cricut!!

    I got my Cricut about 6 months ago, and finally tried it today!!  I wasn't really patient, so all I managed to make were some hearts and this "Love" sentiment.
  I know the card is lame, but I thought I'd go for a Clean and Simple!! I'm going to enter it at Stamps R Us, their challenge is Valentine/Love.
   This next card is a Phindy's digi, called Bug Buddy.  The challenge was to use the inspiration photo for our creation.  I went with the color red, as well as the ladybug. The challenge over at Fussy & Fancy Friday is "Polka Dots."  Over at Crazy 4 Challenges, the challenge was "Layers & Embellies."  Sassy Cheryl's challenge this week was "Punch & Shimmery."
   Card stock is Yoyo Yellow, Real Red & Gina K Pure Luxury White. The dp is a miscellaneous piece from a mat stack. I used SU Scallop and Oval Scallop punches. I added some stickles for the sun, and put some highlights in his hair.  The sentiment is an SU one, but I can't recall the name of the set. 
The inspiration photo:
   So, I am hoping to get some practice in with the Cricut. It came with 4 cartridges, so there is plenty to choose from.  I have to work tomorrow, to fill in for someone, but I'll be off on Sunday.
   Today I did get my taxes filed, so I accomplished something!! I also made some Chicken Soup today.  Didn't take a picture, though..  It was very good!!!

Wow you have been very busy! Love your CAS Cricut card, the red and white is perfect and glad you joined us at Stamps R Us. I forget about my Cricut, I used it all the time when I was scrapbooking but now I make cards, it sort of sits there lonely. Love your second card as well, so bright and fun. Have a great weekend.

The Card stock is  from Papertrey,Aqua Mist,  which ws put through the Cuttlebug (Swiss Dots), SU Shimmery White and the dp is SU Everyday Blessings.
