This is late going up because I am scrambling at the moment. I have a make-up test this morning that I found out about yesterday evening. Not much studying has been done and I am more than a little panicked! I thought I was going to take my test on Wednesday, so I am a little unprepared to take it this morning :-( Anyway, fingers crossed it goes well.
Oh by the way, I did make an 'A' on my Economics test I had before I left. I found that out yesterday as well. I cannot believe I did so well. I was sure I had made a low 'B' or something. It is the most boring class ever too!
Ok, so today is lesson #2 of cardmaking with your Cricut. Today's card is made using Picturesque and Paper Lace again. Today's technique is making a shaped card. Sometimes you just don't want the plain Jane A2 size, but don't want to pull out DS or Gypsy to weld a new shape. Well, some cartridges already have some cards ready to cut. Some of the are shapes, but some are still rectangular, but have interesting pieces and parts. The card feature on Picturesque has interesting pieces and parts.
This dragonfly card is very simple to make and can be used for many different occassions. I just love anything with dragonflies or butterflies, so I have cut both cards from this cartridge at some point.

| I used Bo Bunny Double Dot paper and Papertrey Ink ribbon. The card is cut out at 4 3/4". |
 |
| Happy Birthday is from Paper Lace and is cut out at 3/4" |
 |
| The dragonfly's wings are cut at 2 3/4" |
Thanks so much for stopping by! I am off to study some more as my test is in an hour and a half!
Have a terrific Tuesday!

Thinking of you today with your test!
Very pretty card. I love dragonflies and butterflies also. I like to make double wings on them so that it looks like they are really flying. The colors that you used are so pretty together.
I love dragonflies and butterflies and use them a lot on my cards. Yours is beautiful.
Love your card! Love that you used purple (my fave!) for the dragonfly too! So springy :)
Good luck on your test!
very pretty, I love the papers and the faux stitching!
Adorable!!! With the three pages on the inside, it could even be a mini-album. :D Thanks!!!
Congratulations on your A grade! Boring - yes, necessary - absolutely!
I love tri-fold cards. Leaves me the room for stamped sentiments and lots of room for writing.
Love the Dragonfly on the front!
Blessings, Donna
