Wendy's Altered Frame and Purse, Blog Candy & New Spring Layout

Can you believe it's Thursday already? This week is just flying by. Must be because we're having fun!  So here's a project by Bling Queen Wendy, and it's featured over on Everyday Cricut with a tutorial. Isn't it fabulous? I'm tellin' ya - that Wendy is amazing with altered projects!! Be sure to visit her blog too - she's got some great blog candy!

Today's blog candy during our Week of Giveaways is a Minnie Mouse Book kit. This kit will include all of the papers, cardstock, chipboard, ribbon, etc that you need to make the mini album.  And the pages are all pre-cut for you. You'll need an Expression, the Mickey Font and Mickey and Friends carts, and some basic tools. This is a $30 value. To enter, just follow this blog and leave a comment on today's post.  I'll be announcing winners of each day's giveaway this weekend.

Has Spring sprung where you live? Here in California, the weather just can't quite decide. We'll get a beautiful sunny day, and then the next is dark and stormy. But I for one am READY for Spring, so bring it on!!! Below is our newest "Spring" layout kit by Wendy, and this will also be taught as a class on April 7th for those of you who are in the Northern California area. But no worries - we can ship the kit too! To order, email me at moniquegriffith@yahoo.com. Include the name of the kit you'd like, your state, and preferred payment method (PayPal or check).

This layout was designed by Bling Queen Wendy, and is really quite versatile. In fact, it will work for boy or girl pics, young or young at heart.  There a so many textures here, and you'll even get to learn how to quill your own flowers.

Included with this kit is all of the patterned papers, cardstock, ribbon, brads, etc. that you need to make the layout. You know the drill here. And you'll get our detailed directions with Cricut Cut Chart, written instructions and color photos.

To make this layout, you'll need an Expression, the April Showers cartridge, Cuttlebug with embossing folders (optional), brown chalk ink, 3D pop-dots, white gel pen, brown pen, Diamond Stickles, quilling tool (optional), plus basic tools and adhesive.

Complete kit is $25, or you can get just the directions for $10. If you're in the Northern California area, you might want to consider actually taking the class on April 7th - just let me know. Shipping is also available, and is $5 in California, or $6-$9 in the rest of the US, depending on location. It maxes out at $10 shipping, even for multiple kits. This kit will be shipping mid to late April.

To order, email me at moniquegriffith@yahoo.com. Just tell me which kit you'd like, your state, and preferred payment method (PayPal or check).

Tomorrow, we will have one more project to showcase on Everyday Cricut. It's a layout that I designed using the Once Upon a Princess cart. And I have a video to go along with it. I'll show you how to make a fancy frame cut on your Expression - even when there's no such feature! Plus I'll show you my next class project, which is 6 different cards from the Just Because cartridge.
