Queen for a Day & Team Monique T-Shirts

Here's a royally sweet card made by Becca Rees.  This would be perfect for a birthday, or even just for a friend card for any occasion. Here's what Becca had to say about her adorable creation...
"I LOVE the little frogs on this cart. They're so stinkin' cute!  And check out that crown.  Queen for a day? . . Yes please."

Don't forget to leave a comment for Becca today, and it will of course enter you for this week's blog candy, which is 5 full, detailed sets of Cricut Project Kit directions of your choice.  There's going to be TWO winners, so good luck! 


Cartridge: Paisley.   Paper -  My Mind's Eye - Quite Contrary line.  Solid Cardstock - My Mind's Eye.  DCWV - Used for the Sparkly Crown and Title paper

You'll Need:  White Gel Pen, Diamond Stickles, Basic Tools, Adhesive, Pop Dots, Brown Chalk Ink (Jumbo Java), Green Chalk Ink (Tea Leaves), Mauve Chalk Ink (Malted Mauve)

Measurements:  Card - 4 1/4" x 4 1/4".  Green Frog - 2 3/4".  Brown Frog Shadow - 2 3/4".  Dark Pink Shadow - 2 3/4".  White "Queen" Title - 1 1/4".  Pink "Queen" Shadow - 1 1/4".

A little side-note.  We have had many people ask about "Team Monique" t-shirts, and if we'd be offering to sell them.  The answer is yes!  And it'll be a fundraiser for Team Monique for Race for the Cure, so it's for a great cause.  The shirts this year will be charcoal gray, and will have the same cool design that we had before - our team logo on the back, which is the butterfly with the pink ribbon body, and they'll say "Team Monique" on the front, with the pink ribbon.  See pics below, but mentally substitute charcoal gray instead of black - and 2011 instead of 2010.  If you're a member of Team Monique, the shirts are $10 (plus actual shipping if you need it to be shipped).  Otherwise, they're $20 (plus actual shipping) for everyone, and proceeds go to the cause.  We have to get the order in tomorrow, so if you'd like to get one, email my friend/Team Captain, Stephanie Culton, at sculton@hotmail.com.  Btw, we've now got 34 people on our team and counting!!  Go team!!
