So this video perfectly describes how I was feeling on February 14th. I looked around my classroom and saw 700 flowers to be sorted, labeled, and distributed on that day. Not to mention doing my real job- teaching! I was a bit overwhelmed! Yeah, I had already been waking from dreams labeling hearts to put on the dang things. I told my husband whatever he did NOT to buy me flowers for Valentine's Day!!!!
I had a friend offer to come in and help me. How amazing that was!!!! I could NEVER have gotten it done without her. So here is a thank you card I made for her for her help.
This is also for my first challenge as a DT member at Fantabulous Cricut! This week it is "Bye Bye Birdie" so come on over and submit your project with a bird on it! I used Songbird for this, I have had the cartridge forever but never used it so I was happy to pull that out of hiding!
Have you ever bought a cartridge then been totally disappointed with it? That is sort of how I felt about Songbird. Have you used Songbird? I would love to see pics of what you have done with this cartridge. I guess I am just not crazy about the font. I don't know what it is about it. However, I am thankful we had this challenge so I had the opportunity to use it!
Such a sweet card, love your stitching and the colors are perfect!! Welcome to FCCB DT, excited to see your future projects :)

Very pretty Thank you card. I don't have that cart when I looked at it I decided not to buy it since there are so many others on my wish list. I like the cut though. TFS. ~Tami
ReplyDeleteI love your elegant thank you card, Rebecca. The stitching is beautiful and adds so much. I really need to start doing this more on my projects. Thanks for the motivation!

Great card. I think that I haven't used Songbird a single time so I know what you mean. Cindy FCCB DT
ReplyDeleteLove the color combo and the stitching on this card. I don't have the Songbird cartridge, but I know the feeling - there are a few carts in my stash that have yet to be used because of it. Just don't tell my DH!! ;-)
ReplyDeleteI totally felt the same way when I got the Songbird cart! I have done a card recently with it though, if you want to check it out on my blog (molliemugsblog.blogspot.com). I'm excited to be on the DT with you! You really did a great job with your card, I love the colors, and the stitching is fantastic!
