Another thank you card for another great friend!

There are times when you appreciate your friends and there are times when you don't know what you would do without great friends.  This card is for another friend that helped me out during my surgery.  She made us a yummy dinner :).  The flower card I posted earlier today goes to a friend who sat at the hospital waiting for me for HOURS!

I really enjoy challenges and hops because they actually give me a place to start.  If I stand in my craft space and think "I need to make a thank you card."  I take an hour just to pick a color, another hour to decide what size, another hour to pick a sentiment.  Then I hate it and throw it away and get a glass of wine... or two... well, maybe three if it was particularly bad.  So today I picked 2 to inspire this card.  CWC wants us to use two shades of green this week.  Honestly, after St. Patrick's Day I am ready to be done with green.  I am ready for SPRING.  I cut a simple square out and stamped the sentiment in gold because Fantabulous Cricut is challenging us to use green and gold this week.  I added some gold eyelets for fun.  I used my Crop-O-Dile on that.  Now, I have liked my crop thingy BUT it was one of those things I bought and never really learned how to use.  I took a look at it tonight... I see a YouTube instructional video in my near future!!!  As you can see, I really am a CRAFTING MISFIT!  The pics also show how badly I need a new blade... EEK!

  5. I love the simplicity of this card! It is beautiful! I am still trying to figure out my crop-a-dile. Would it have been so hard for the Co. to put a little instruction manual in that huge platic packaging. It came with nothing and it is a very intimidating tool!! I make a lot of bags and I am slowly figuring it out but they could have made it a little easier! Nice job on the challenges. Good Luck!
