Spring Card

Tonight I got home from grocery shopping and it was just about 25 degrees.  I have had enough of the cold!  Tomorrow's high is said to be 36 degrees.  So, I wanted to do something SPRING like!!!

You may have seen this fabulous blue flower paper in an earlier post.  I posted it here.  Well, little did I know you actually CAN sand that paper!  I loved it just based on the embossing and bought a ton of it.  Now I have seen even more potential in it.  So you know what I did? Went back to the store and bought more.  I can't WAIT to play with that!!!  This paper is made by Core'dinations.  The green paper is made with that too.  You should have seen hubby's face when I asked for sandpaper.  He had to explain the numbers on the sand paper to me ;)  I used 150 for this.

For the lamb I looked at one of my favorite blogs, Jessica at Chick N Scrap.  She does a much better job on the patchwork.  This was my first attempt and I will try again for sure.  Jessica has a nice tutorial on her site.  I cut the lamb from Animal Kingdom.

The lettering is from Lyrical Letters.  I used my Cricut Ink for the first time!!! LOVE LOVE LOVE it!!!

Thank you so much for visiting!  Thanks in advance for all of the blog lovin'!!!

Challenges:
Queen of my craftroom use ugly paper
Here are 2 of the pieces I cut down for the lamb.  Ugly enough? :)

    Our WalMart has the cricut ink on clearance for either $6 or $8; wasn't sure if/how it worked so i didn't buy any. Do you like it?

    Ok, first I think it is funny that a challenge would ask you to use ugly paper! When we buy paper we don't think it is ugly!!!! HAHAHA. Alone, maybe, but on your lamb, not so ugly. I think it looks cute!!!! I like how your card turned out. TFS and thanks for joining us at Cooking With Cricut:)
