MISS EMMA'S THROWBACK THURSDAY CHALLENGE

Hi Everyone!

I don't know about you all, but this week has been flying by, which is always a good thing!
As I mentioned before in a previous post, I am on a challenge role and today I have a really cute (at least I think so) card to share with you!!! Just one challenge today, but it's a good one!!!

I know it's not the best picture, but do you see the sentiment? Get it??? "Mouse Pad"!!! Maybe, I'm a goofball (welll, I know I'm a goofball), but I just love it!!! Hope you like it!!!

I'm entering it for~
My Creative Time~Throwback Thursday ~Use "Doodlecharms" & to include the color Blue.

I have to tell you, I spent a long time trying to get the shape of the "Cricut" mouse pad, but the closest thing I could find was the nose on the little bunny on this cart and it just didn't work out. I came to the realization that mouse pads actually come in all different shapes...duh!!! LOL

Ingredients~
Cricut
Gypsy
Cricut Carts~"Doodlecharms"~Mice & Heart~"George & Basic Shapes"~Card, I welded 2 rounded squares together~"Create a Critter"~Cheese
Card Stock~"AC Summer" Card Base & "DCWV Shimmer" Everything else

Be Thankful Blog Hop

I have to say that I am very Thankful to be included in this special blog hop! I have Sarah over at  http://www.pinkcricut.com/ to thank for for including me along with all the wonderful crafters you've seen todayt! You should have arrived here via  http://luvmybabygirl.blogspot.com/ , if not be sure and start from the beginning http://www.pinkcricut.com/ so you don't miss anything.

To go with the theme of the hop Sarah asked that we list some things that we are Thankful for. After the past couple of years we have had, I'm Thankful for sooo much!!! The first thing I'm most Thankful for is having GOD in my life! If it weren't for my faith, things could have turned out differently. My boys are doing so well, I'm very proud of the young men they have become. I have a wonderful hubby, who is very supportive of me & he's my best friend. I'm Thankful my hubby and I both have FT jobs now, and we have a roof over our heads. I know these things can be taken for granted, BUT I don't....at least not anymore!

The first is a place mat I made out of fabric & my Gypsy. I love to cut fabric on my Cricut, works perfectly using Steam a Seam 2. For this particular project I used the leaf in Gypsy Wanderings, I also used my new I-Rock!

Instead of a place card I made a wine tag instead. The stamp is from "Bountiful Blessings"  Pink by Design, I used a rub-on for the letter T and twine is from Paper Tray Ink.

You know how you always have lot's of leftovers after Thanksgiving Dinner, well I thought instead of doggy bag, I'd make a Gobble bag. :)  You can fill it full of goodies for your guests to take home and they'll love the bag.  For this project I used my Gypsy and Create a Critter. Papers are S.E.I Simple Sets & Me & my Big Ideas Autumn Layer Pack.  I also used some googly eyes and blinged up his hat with my I-Rock.  For the tag I used another stamp from "Bountiful Blessings" that says Gobble til you Wobble...soooo cute!

Now on to some BLOG CANDY!!!!  Aren't you glad you stuck around??!!! I'm sooo excited to have my first give away!!!  All I ask of you is to make a comment on this post with a way to get in touch with you AND consider following me.  If you like what you see on my blog AND to WANT to follow, that would be great, but I'm not going to force you to follow me if you don't want to.  I will pick the lucky winner of these beautiful stamps on Monday evening (eastern time).

Thanks for stopping by!
