I have the Cricut Circle Animal Antics Cartridge, brand new in clamshell for sale. $60 plus shipping. I will ship it internationally , so don't let that stop you. I've shipped cartridges to Australia, the U.K. and Canada before. This cartridge was only given to Circle members that were in the Circle during years 1 & 2 and will never be available again, so it's pretty rare. :-) It has 40 layered images, 50 layered phrases, 9 layered card backgrounds and a layered font with a shadow. It's pretty cute. I will ship it within one business day of your payment clearing paypal.  Please email me at: britngavin@ymail.com if you have any questions or if you'd like to purchase. Thanks and have a great day!  Brittany

Kraftin' Kimmie National Scrapbook Day Challenges!

Image
Oh my goodness, this week has been kicking my butt, we've got so much family stuff happening plus the kiddo's first year of school is winding down(only 2 1/2 weeks left!). So last week was National Scrapbook Day, I didn't get to participate over that weekend, but Kraftin' Kimmie Stamps(www.kraftinkimmiestamps.com) had their challenges open all week long! Gotta say, I've only got a few so far, and out of the 5 challenges I finished, I kept reaching for this one stamp and her sentiments 4 times, lol. Couldn't help it, she's too cute and fun to color! Fussy cutting again kicked my butt on one challenge, but I LOVE how it turned out. Alright, here we go, all 5 challenges in one post! :-) Challenge 01: Krafty Kreations- Use Kraft somewhere on your project Challenge 02: It's a Celebration! Make a project that celebrates something!  I wish you could see this one in real life because it's awesome! There's so many layers and it sparkles s...

CC Challenge 47 and Unity's FWF

Image
Yay! So not too long  ago I won some blog candy from the lovely Julie and there were a couple of Unity Stamps in there. I actually didn't have any Unity Stamps, so I had to ink one of them up. Especially when I saw the challenge at CC this last week was to use blue, green and white. I also entered this into this weeks Friends With Flair on the Unity Stamps blog. :-) I love how this card turned out!       Products used: MM Celery Ribbon Fancy Pants Designs "Time for Spring" 6 x 6 paper pad Sentiment stamp from My Pink Stamper's "More Punny-licious" A "pear"erntly Adorable stamp from Unity Stamp Company Rich Cocoa Momento Ink colored pencils for coloring :-)   I'm working on dollar spot mailboxes for some kiddos for valentine's day and they're kicking my butt, so gotta get back to them, but I wanted to share today. :-)   Happy crafting! Brit 

Wow!

Wow it's been awhile since I posted. It's been a little crazy here, but I should be good to go now, lol. So here's a recent project I did for the CropChocolate.com weekly challenge. The challenge was to use pink, bling and at least 1 flower somewhere. This is what I did.  The patterned papers are all Echo Park Graceful, the girl image is from Stamping Bella, the heart is from Stampin' Up and the "be mine" stamp is Basic Grey. Flowers from Bazzill Basics, and the jewels in the centers are from Scrappin' Supplies.  I'll be back soon, I'm working on Valentine's for the kiddo and my niece. :-)  Have a happy scrappy day! Brit
