My Creative Time's Throwback Thursday! One Day

Hi Everyone happy Thursday!  I'm so excited because it's time for My Creative Time's Throwback Thursday!  Are you ready for spring?  I hope so, because this week's challenge is all about bugs!  So here's the challenge, use any older Cricut cartridge with a bug, it can be a card, layout, or 3-D project!

Hello!

Welcome to Cristina's Blogaversary BLOG HOP!  If you arrived from the super talented Lezlye's blog, then you are on the right path.  If you just popped in to see me, you certainly want to head over to Cristina's so you don't miss a thing!  Now this hop is about being inspired by one of Cristina's own projects.  It was so hard to pick just one project, because she has so many amazing, creative projects!  The first picture is of Cristina's project that gave me inspiration...

As soon as I saw her layout, I knew I needed to make this layout for a crop I'll be going to next week!  I only go to crops a couple times of year and tend not to get much done!  Too busy chatting I guess, but they're fun anyway!  Now on to my project!

What? you don't go to crops with glittery platfroms and a crown?!  hmm

yes...that is what my gypsy looks like! 

I've always said I work part time to support my habit...my need for paper!

Hi!

Ok, I know...I'm a little late one my project today!  But since it's still Friday in my time zone, I made it!  I also have taken a break from Halloween so I could enter this challenge at Emma's from My Creative Time.   The challenge is to use Create a Critter and make a shaped card and the color orange.  My card does open, but since I'm still learning my gypsy...I realized that it's hard to open when you put a shadow on the back!  hehe, I figure it out someday!   I hope you like it...
