Today's Bitten By the Bug 2 challenge called for a project using an umbrella from any Cricut cartridge. Well, there are several cartridges that have such a cut, so I had a lot to choose from. I used the search function on the Cricut Craft Room to narrow it down. It is such a life saver sometimes! I ended up using the April Showers Mini with a little bit of Art philosophy sprinkled in as it is my go to utility cartridge.
For the sentiment I used the Card Chatter - Sympathy stamp set. If you are looking for a great sympathy stamp set this is for you! I has several great sentiments that will go great with your sympathy cards.
