The Monique Griffith Design Team now consists of 4 Cricut Designers: Monique, Wendy Lawrence, Susan Rees and Becca Rees. We specialize in making Cricut Project Kits that you can make on your own with your Cricut, learning more about your bug in the process. Each kit includes all of the paper, cardstock, ribbon, brads, etc. that you'll need to complete the project. You just need your Cricut Expression, the required cartridge(s), and a few basic tools. The kits also include detailed yet easy to follow directions with a Cricut Cut Chart that shows you line by line exactly what you'll need to cut on your machine, with all of the settings for each cut. There are also well-organized written instructions and color photographs. We pride ourselves on our detailed designs, and on teaching others how to most effectively design with the Cricut.

Happy Friday!  shelly here today  . WOW i was so honored when wendy approached me about being guest designer for this month.  i havent had the pleasure of meeting her or monique who i hear are just the sweetest  but we live about 2 hours away so a visit is in the future.

thank you so much monique and wendy  for thinking my crafty abilities are worthy.

for my project i made a card which is what i normally post on my blog. i do layouts too i just rarely share them.
i didnt make this card for any one specific person.. i made it for us all.. a reminder to NEVER lose yourself  in someone or something  so much that you lose yourself.

so now for the card..

for this i used walk in my garden (caterpillar) doodle charms (jar adding foam stickies behind for depth) and zoobaloo (branches and leaves. i bent one of the branches slightly and only adhered the top and bottom portions again for depth . pic 3 shows this) 
wimg and d/charms were the first image carts i purchased, they are still my go to favorites.
i added stamped butterfly images, stickles, liquid pearls ,martha stewart border punch and colorbox fluid chalk.
thank you so much for your comments and thank you again monique and wendy for making me feel special :) have a great day and a fun weekend! happy crafting :) shelly

Cute card ... a good reminder for me to take those older cartridges out and use them! We used the DCharms cart for the very first class I took from Monique.
Thanks for sharing!

Thanks for sharing your card with us Shelly! I love it, especially the mason jar! I have all of the cartridges that you used, and we sometimes forget about them until we see something beautiful like this card. I also love the sentiment on the card. Thanks for sharing your creation with us. I am going to check out your blog!
