Good Morning Friends,


Challenge THEME: Weddings or Anniversaries
open until 11:59 August 11, 2012


This is all about weddings or anniversaries. I made this for the cricut circle challenge with the exclusive "Cricut Circle Cartridge "Out of Character"
A friend of mine just had their 15th wedding anniversary-- I'm late- but she will get it anyway- late. I know she will love it.

I absolutely LOVE this cartridge.

So I wanted to make something I have never made before - this exploding box- is this cool or what? It was very easy just time-consuming.


This paper all cut like butter I used coredinations DCWV and PTI and American crafts cardstock.


I just love how this lettering looks 



 Here is how it looks before the box is opened.
The sentiment is from Verve stamps and the ink is Jenni Bowlin Brown sugar


I like how the 15 pops out of the box when it is opened. I used "pretty pennants" for the banner and the numbers are from the "out of character cartridge"





Prize: $10.00 Michael s gift card

My challenge entries:
Cricut Circle Blog: :"Out Of Cartridge"
FCC: Weddings /anniversaries
Decorate To Celebrate: Weddings/ Anniversaries





 You will have until 11:59 on August 11, 2012 to enter the challenge

Have a blessed day, Diana
