August Birthday Month Giveaway Winner!!

Happy Birthday to all the August babies out there!  Thanks to all who participated in my August Birthday Month Giveaway and thank you for the nice birthday wishes.  Today is my birthday and tonight my husband and I are going out to dinner to our favorite restaurant.  He is also going to get me a book reader for my birthday but he's a bit frustrated that I can't make up my mind which one I want.  Any suggestions?  

Now, on to our winner:  I used Random.org to pick a number and it picked #9 - Gloria from Girlia's Cards is the winner!  Congrats Gloria, just e-mail me your info at cascrapper@gmail.com and I'll get your cartridge out to you.

Cricut Cardz Challenge #87

This week's challenge is "Straight from the Heart"! Make a thank you card using hearts, and any cartridges or colors you’d like, but NO pink or red.
 I cut my bear out using Create a Critter Cricut cartridge at 3.25"  The paper I used is from SEI.  The stamp is from Rubber Stampede and the ink is from Stampin Up.  The buttons are from Joann's.   I used Stickles on the black and white parts of the bear but it's kind of hard to see that in the picture.  Thanks for stopping by my blog!
