Giveaway on this post: Teddy Bear Parade Cartridge!

 

 

Hello everyone!! Today, I am happy to say that I am a Guest Designer over at Die Cuttin' Divas. Thank you, Georgiana, for letting me guest design! This week the challenge at Die Cuttin' Divas is "Challenge #113 ~ Anything Goes". My niece’s birthday was last week so I chose to use her birthday card for my guest designer day. I used one of my favorite cartridges—Teddy Bear Parade (blog candy alert!). The teddy bear was cut using that cartridge. The card base, window and window frame were cut from Lacy Labels using my Gypsy. I added invisible thread to the teddy bear inside the window so she would spin around like she is dancing. Here is my project, I hope you like it.

I am also entering this into the following challenges:

• Craftin Desert Divas - Craft it up link it up Party #5 (Use a Pun)
• Pause Dream .Enjoy Challenge #9 (Outdoor Critters)

 

 

So, in honor of my first Guest Designer post and because I love this cartridge, I will be giving away a Teddy Bear Parade Cricut Lite cartridge. I will use random.org to pick one lucky follower! I will announce the winner on Friday, May 17. That just happens to be my birthday ☺. 

In order to win, you must be a follower of my blog and be sure to leave me a comment letting me know you follow. You must live in the United States (can't ship international, sorry). For a second chance to win, put my giveaway picture on your sidebar and leave a second comment letting me know you did that. Pretty simple, right? Good luck!
