I hope you all had wonderful weekends! I know I did. I swam in my mom's pool on Saturday and mainly relaxed on Sunday! It was wonderful!!
Now here we are on day 5 of the Hello Thursday project release and I am having tons of fun showing you what I have made using these fantastic cartridges. Also, I have more giveaways planned and today I am giving away the Nursery Rhymes cartridge! This is one of my favorites and all you have to do to win this cartridge is leave a comment on this post and make sure you are signed up to get email or follow this blog.
I have read recently on the Cricut Message Board that some people are not happy about the 'signing up as a follower' portion of the giveaway. If you do not want to participate in the giveaway you do not have to. It is completely up to you. Not all of my prizes are provided by a sponsor and I pay for shipping completely out of my pocket. I feel that following my blog to win something is at no cost to you is pretty good deal. Also the odds of winning one of my prizes are fairly high as I do not get as many comments as some other blogs. Either way it is your choice whether or not you want to participate. I hope you do though because the more the merrier!!
On to the card!
It was made using the new and fantastic Mini Monsters cartridge. I cut the little monster out at 2 1/2". The text was cut using the new Wall Decor and More which has a great random font. Which seems to be a culmination of several fonts.
I used Basic Grey paper an Core'dinations cardstock on the card. I also did a little bit of pen work with my white Signo Uniball pen.

Super cute card, Melanie. Your ideas are awesome and also very inspiring! Thanks for a chance to win :)
Your cards are so beautiful, how could you not want to be a follower just for the inspiration if for nothing else. The giveaways are super fun and just icing on the cake, imho. I think it's just bitter grapes making a stink b/c they don't want to invest in following, they want to blow in, win and go to the next contest. Oh well. More room for the rest of us. HA!
You ladies who are followers, I have checked out some, haven't made it all the way thru the list yet... and I get so much inspiration from everyone else. It's amazing, one decision to follow leads to dozens of clicks on other follwers which multiplies and multiplies, the fun and inspiration never ends :) THANK YOU from a beginner!

I love love love this cartridge. It seems like you can make so much.
Such an adorable card! And as for people who don't want to follow.... As for me, I enjoy follwing blogs who have projects and ideas and giveaways. It's no biggie for me to follow. The only thing I don't like is when they want you to jump through hoops and rings this bell and that bell. Figuratively speaking of course. lol I don't even bother with them when they ask you to post and do all that crazy stuff. Simply because I don't have time for it all. So thank you for keeping this simple so that I can join this giveaway as well.
God Bless!
