Good morning Crafty friends,

I hope everyone is doing well. I wanted to share a project I made today for the Memorial Day Blog Hop over at the Creative Cutter Room! Up for grabs at CCR is a cartridge! So you want to get your creative juices flowing and head over and join the challenge! Here are the details!

The Challenge: Create A new project using the theme Honoring our Vets

me·mo·ri·al dayNoun
1. A day, the last Monday in May, on which those who died in active military service are remembered. Lets show our appreciation!

Link your project over at the Creative Cutter Room to be entered to win a prize! And the prize is..Father's Day Cricut Cartridge!!  You have until June 1, 2011 to enter your project.

Here is the project I am sharing today.

Here is a view of the entire layout. I created this layout using my Independence Day Cartridge and my George and Basic Shapes Cartridge. The swirls I think are from Picturesque.

Here is a close up of the freedom title. It cuts out all in one piece from the Independence Day Cartridge.

Here is a close up of the large photo matte. The starts are from George and Basic Shapes and the Medallion in the middle is from Independence day as well.

Day #18- Every Day in May Blog-Aversary

Welcome to Day 18 of Cooking With Cricut's Every Day in May Blog-Aversary! 

Hi! . . .  This is Madison from Funky Cards!  As you may know by now, Cooking With Cricut is having a month long Blogoversary Cele"bear"ation with postings and giveaways every day during the month of May - and each and every day there will be some kind of celebration posted.

 Don't forget, this Saturday, May 21st is our Cele"bear"ation Blog Hop, so mark your calendars and come hop with us!

My celebration card is a wedding card that I made for a family friend.  The bride and groom were cut at 3.5" from the Sweethearts Cricut cartridge.  The sentiment was computer generated.  The glitter card stock adds to the formal look.

Thanks for stopping by.  Be sure to come back tomorrow to see what Stacey has cooked up for you!
