more from the Spring Fling crop and a Cricut for sale

Hello, there! :) Remember the Spring Fling crop held over at SNR last month? And remember I mentioned hostessing two of the challenges that day? One was a photo inspiration challenge (see this post HERE), and the other was a color challenge. I offered up my own springy color palette, and participants made projects using it:


Sort of reminds me of sherbet! LOL (There was another color challenge going on with SNR's sister site, The Card Universe, which included more sugary pastels like light pink, blue, and lavender. So I was going for something that was still springy, but yet different.) And here's the sample I made:


Just a quick and easy little gift bag. :) I used my Cricut machine for the bag and the grass (Plantin Schoolbook cart)... some premade flowers, punches, and gems, and it's done. It's difficult to tell, but the bag was stamped with SU!'s Dotted background and then embossed with Irridescent Ice EP. The fun paper shreds were just skinny slivers I cut using my Tonic guillotine trimmer, and then run through my crimper.

Speaking of my Cricut machine... would anyone be interested in buying it from me? It's only about a year old, and while I have used it a bit, I haven't used it enough to even warrant replacing the blade yet (however, I would certainly include a brand new blade with the machine, along with an extra.) I take a lot of pride in my tools and treat them with nothing but TLC. :) The reason why I'm selling it is because I really want the Cricut Create! It's just like the baby bug except for a few different features on it that I could definitely put to use. But hubby says that I need to find a home for this one before considering it. It's a great starter machine, or perfect for someone who enjoys occasional diecutting. If anyone's interested or has any questions about it, I'm certainly willing to deal! ;) Just shoot me an email over in the sidebar!

Okey doke, time to go play with my awesome new Hero Hostess goodies that Brown brought me yesterday... some of the goodies aren't even in stores yet! WOO HOO! It's going to be a GREAT weekend. ;) Hope you have a great weekend, too! Thanks for stopping by! :)
