Winner Announced & Texas State Report

Hi Everyone!  Sorry for the late post.  I was out all day yesterday til after midnight at our Crop for the Cure, and have been pretty comatose today, LOL! 

Let's get to the winner of last week's blog candy, shall we?  Here's our winner of the Elegant Cakes cartridge...

    Very cute card! Those papers are perfect!

Beverly, please email me at moniquegriffith@yahoo.com with your mailing address.

And since I didn't post earlier today, I'm going to go ahead and share a little project that Emily and I worked on this afternoon.  She was assigned a state report, and chose the state of Texas.  My friend Phyllis loaned us the 50 States cart, and we used a few others as well.  So here's some pics of how it turned out.  I did most of the Cricut cutting since we were in a bit of a hurry, but Em helped make the decisions, assemble things, and did all of the writing after we read about each state symbol.

State shape, bird, flag and state name are all from 50 States.

The strip with the images slides through like a movie strip. You can click on pics to see what Em wrote.

Bluebonnet flowers are from 50 States.

We put the state fish on here, and got the cut from Everyday Paper Dolls. Em helped decorate the fishy.

Star and square are from George.  I used Centerpoint, and cut the star at 2", then immediately cut a square around it at 2 1/4" still using Centerpoint.

 

State, star and "Austin" are from 50 States.  I like what she wrote, hehe.

Cowboy boot is from Old West.  She was pretty proud of her report.  Not bad for procrastinating, huh?

Check back in just a few hours for the Tuesday post.  I'm going to share a few pics from Crop for the Cure, including the little favors we made.  In the meantime, be sure to leave a comment on this post for a chance to win this week's blog candy - a custom-designed one-of-a-kind layout in your choice of theme!
