Welcome

You are invited to share with me the Joy there is in creating Art. I mean the "I can do it" and "it's fun" and "it's beautiful" kind of art, whether it is "museum quality" or not. Here you will find some of what I like to do and, I hope, share some of your joy, too.

Welcome to my blog, Rae Ann.

Happy Birthday Exploring Cricut Blog Hop

We're celebrating!  Exploring Cricut is 3 years old.  Celebrate with us by visiting all of our design team and then entering your design for this challenge.  Create a card, layout, or some papercraft that celebrates a birthday event.  Include at least one button, brad, or jewel.

I chose to use the  great cake in the Everyday Pop-Up Cards cartridge.  I made the cake at 4 inches, added stickles to the drapes and mini jewels between the drapes.  The word 'Celebrate' came from the Phrases cartridge; that was the hardest part of the card.

I love when you leave comments and it would be great to have you as a follower.  Thanks for stopping by.   To start at the beginning of our blog hop go to Sharon, otherwise, your next stop is Emily

Here is our blog hop line-up.  After visiting everyone, be sure to enter your project at Exploring Cricut.
