purple thank you card made with Stretch Your Imagination cricut cartridge

Hello, friends! I hope you all had wonderful weekends! I know I did. I had a great Mother's Day and on Friday I got a new car. That is always fun!!

I have finals this week, so I will post as much as I can. I hope to keep it at the regular pace, but I can't make any promises. I hate letting you all down though, so I will try really hard to post this week.

Ok, on to the card....


I made this 5 x 5 card using one of the fantastic frames on Stretch Your Imagination. I cut it at 4 3/4"(I think) and adhered it to the card base. This is a really quick way to dress up any card.



Then I stamped and glittered the sentiment in a similar way to the post I did last Friday on Everyday Cricut. This is such an easy way to add a little bit of pizazz!


The paper, stamp, and ribbon are from Papertrey Ink.


Thanks so much for stopping by. I hope you have a fantastic week!!

    Good Luck with your Finals Melanie! I know you will pass! :) No worries if you don't post this week... You have more important things to tend to... I know I'll still be here if you only post 2 times in a week!:) Love the card and the colors... I never noticed that design on the SYI Cart. I guess I will have to pull it out and take a look! Good Luck and have a great week! :)

    I agree with Melissa, school, family, a home, and you still are worried about us! Your work is wonderful. I know I for one would check everyday for a month and then email if I didn't see a post. Because I would be worried about you.
    Good luck on your finals. What are you studying?
    I love the card. I was just looking at the cartridge on the at Custom Crops.
