A MYSTERY TO SOLVE...

Some absolutely wonderful person on the Cricut Circle Message Board sent me a Mystery RAK yesterday...yes, I have no idea who sent this.  But who ever you are....know that I am deeply touched by your generosity! 

You can only imagine my surprise when DH brought in a box left at our door step yesterday.  He was a little curious as to what I had ordered since we are cutting back expenses right now and was doubtful when I said I had not ordered anything.  I immediately opened the box to find out what was inside....and was so shocked to see this

Not One but TWO of the Creative Memories new Cricut Cartridges!

I started crying and laughing at the same time.  DH was stunned as well.  He knows how much cartridges costs and was just as surprised and thankful someone did this for me. Whoever you are who did this I just can't say thank you enough!  I promise to pay it forward and spread good will to someone else soon too!

I couldn't wait to use these and last night created this card using the Cheerful Seasons cartridge.  My time is limited this week as I am finalizing the Houston Circle Meet Up this weekend but really wanted to use and show off this adorable cartridge. I was able to combine making something fun with also making an entry for the Circle Weekly Challenge.  We had to use Gray, Tan, Orange and Burgundy with losts of textures this week. 

Lots of layeing, dry embossing, inking, textured ribbon and punched border plus a few rhinestones went into making this tribute to Fall.
