I also have a card to share with you today too! I created this using the cartridge, Freshly Picked. The paper is from Girls Paperie. I inked the edges to shabby it up a bit, and added glitter to the flowers. (They were cut at 1", 1 1/2" , 1 3/4" and then stacked). Buttons were added to their centers. I added a tag cut from the Sentimentals cartridge and stamped on it with a Papertrey stamp. I added some of my colored seam binding and a few pearls.
I created a shadow box effect with the frame (Also from Freshly Picked) and pop dots.
Have I told you how much I adore Martha Stewart's chunky clear glitter? SWOON!!
I hope to learn a bit more about you and make one person VERY happy this weekend! : )Have a wonderful weekend!
Wowwwwwwwwwwwww! That card is GORGEOUS Michele!! I loveeeeeeeeee all the glitter!! :):):):):):):):):):):):):):):):):):):):):):):):)

Beautiful card! Something interesting about me is people constantly tell my toes are as long as my fingers!
ReplyDeleteoh, what a wonderful giveaway!!
ReplyDeleteSomething interesting about myself would be... I've tried every hobby out there! Tole painting, Quilting, Jewelry making, Card making (my current love), paper piecing, crochet, knitting. Card making was my first, so I've made a full circle back with lots of gained knowledge along the way. I use my highlighting and shadowing knowledge from tole painting on my paper piecing, and use wire and beads (from my jewelry know-how) on some cards as well!
Wow! another wonderful give away.
ReplyDeleteFirst of all I love your card you made. Some thing interesting about me... Let me think, I have done almost every craft possible and I love digital stamps and copic markers and colored pencils. I take every class possible around me.
I love the card! You are very talented Something interesting about myself? In the five months of the year that we are not doing Craft Fairs and Farmer's Market I learn something new. This winter it is going to be Photoshop to learn how to make my own scrapbooking kits. Past projects have been: soap crafting and personal care products which I now sell and baking yeast breads and rolls. I would LOVE to win the gypsy!
ReplyDeleteLove the card. I was a foster parent for 15 years in 3 different states and have two adopted children. Thank you for the chance to win. modjjjash at yahoo dot com
ReplyDeleteThat's a lovely card. I totally agree--you can never use too much glitter!
ReplyDeleteI also love that glitter. Your card is beautiful and I love the shadow box look. Something interesting - huh? I'll have to think on that one.
ReplyDeleteThanks for all the giveaways. Something about myself would be that I LOVE the color pink!! It is such a dreamy color and very calming for me. Thanks again! Have a great weekend!
ReplyDeleteYour card is so pretty! I love this one! Something interesting about me, huh? Well...I can't eat of off yellow plates. I don't know why. My sister can't, either, though, which is particularly odd because we didn't discover that we both had this little 'problem' until my Mom bought a set of plates in green, blue, and yellow, and both of us told her we couldn't use the yellow ones! She was confused and wondered how she got such weird children! HA!
ReplyDeleteGood morning, Michele! Gorgeous card, my friend! That chunky MS glitter is one of my favorites, too--love it on your pretty flowers!
ReplyDeleteGreat giveaway! Something interesting, huh?.....I love researching my family history and have been doing it since I was 12...how many 12-year olds troll around in old files in dusty town clerks' offices??? What a goofy kid!
Hope you have a beautiful day today!
Julie
First of all the card is beautiful. I love the colors.
ReplyDeleteSecond, thanks so much for the chance to win the Gypsy.
Third, an interesting fact about me would be I just celebrated my 30 year anniversary last month!
kbiendesigns@gmail.com
What a awesome giveaway! I just passed my exam to get a real estate license! Luv that card, its beautiful!
ReplyDeleteGorgeous card. This would be one of the sweetest gifts. Thanks for giving a chance to win a dream.
ReplyDeleteWhat a fabulous giveaway! Something interesting about me? Well ....I'm fluent in 5 languages. My first love is flying single engine aircraft. Second love is crafting. I once spent a night in a French jail. No, not like that! I was touring a former jail in Paris and accidentally got locked in when they closed for the evening. I gave birth to my first and only child at age 42.
ReplyDeleteLove the card-would love to win a NEW TOOL! I've learned...at 50--that I need to take each moment for what it is--special in and of itself-never to be caught again--take the time to appreciate...those around me, art, nature-EVERYTHING. Yep, I've learned the hard way (lost a husband to cancer, my own health issues, etc.)--but I've learned...and I hope to have a lot more years to practice it!
ReplyDeleteWow. That's an exceptionally beautiful card. Hm. Something interesting about myself. I LOVE peanut butter and pickle sandwiches. No, I am not pregnant or crazy. They are just delicious. :) Have a great weekend.
ReplyDeleteI absolutely love all that you do! Love the vintage look,bought bias tape on the internet, saturated it with glimmer mist,dumped coffee grounds on top. My family wondered what kind of gross concoction I was making for supper and it does not look anything like yours. I will read over the instructions again and hopefully get it to look better.
ReplyDeleteSomething interesting about me....not something that I'm proud of but my son went to school this morning with a duck taped hem on his pants. I'm not sure if that labels me as creative or just plain crazy. He has his school Christmas program and his new pants were too long so we had to make do. I hope it holds up and isn't hanging out as he walks off the stage.
Thanks so much for the great giveaway and wonderful inspiration you bring to the board.
I always love your cards! They are so my style...
ReplyDeleteInteresting fact about me? I love to watch reality tv...I know..I should have kept that secret but I do! Lol
Thanks for the chance!
Yours TruLee,

I love the card, it is so pretty. As far as something interesting about myself that is tuff! I am 33 and have been married for 15 years and we have 3 kids ages 11, 9 and 6. We are also a military family so I get to be a single mother alot of the time. I think absence makes the heart grow fonder which could be why I am still happily married or I got pretty lucky. Have a Merry Christmas!
ReplyDeleteAbsolutely beatiful card Michele! I haven't really seen much from that cartridge--you have shown me the beauty in it. Thank you!
ReplyDeleteSomething interesting about myself would be that I love to cook and bake. I spend all day in my kitchen on Sundays cooking up a weeks worth of meals and yummys for the family.

Gorgeous card. Hmmm...something interesting about me? I held the 8th grade discus record for 20 years.

Oh what a wonderful surprise! and great card, I wish I was half as talented as my circle sisters. Something interesting eh.... I love to research and learn, so for my 8th grade Holocaust project I taught myself German in order to write a journal. Pretty proud of that if I do say so myself. ( I also speak Spanish, a wee bit of French and thanks to Kai-lan some Mandarin)

What a great card! I've been your follower for a long time and love your inspiration via my google reader.
ReplyDeleteSomething interesting about me is I go to extreme lengths to make people laugh. It's like a drug for me ;)
Wow! Love the card and of course, would love to win the Gypsy. Hummmmm, an interesting thing about me. Welllllll, if there's such a thing as a scrapbooking materials hoarder, then that would be me. I have a two car garage turned into a workshop full of scrapping stuff, as well as two bedrooms. Any company I ever have knows what they will see when they visit cause I'm always working on something scrapping in front of the TV too. I'm always looking for the newest creations and get frustrated when you can only get it overseas, ha ha. Thanks for letting me share and Happy Holidays. (And no, I do not have the Gypsy.)
ReplyDeleteWOW! Beautiful card! Thanks for the chance to win as well....something interesting hum....well, probably not too interesting, but I am obsessed with Monkeys!!! I think they are so adorable!

ReplyDeleteHi Michele. I love your card and I can not say just how exciting I think the chance to win this is. WOW, I have wanted one since I first saw it, but there has just not been a way for us to budget it. Now, something about myself..Hmmmm I am a Wife to my best friend and have been for almost 18 years. I am a Mom to two of the most loving children and have been for 13 years. :O) I am a scrapbooker/cardmaker and I was actually teaching Cricut classes at our local store until she had to close for family needs. I am sad to say that I kind of got depressed over the whole thing and it has just been the last two months that I have pulled out my wonderful Cricut and start to encorporate it into my card making. I love to teach and I love to share my job of creating with people. My favorite students are my 13 year old son and my 12 year old daughter. We spend lots of time each other either coloring or cuting out paper dolls to make for my little nieces. Well, I guess that's more about my family than me, but really I am my family so that makes it me. Hugs, Lisa G
ReplyDeleteBeautiful card & how exciting to have a chance to win a Gypsy!!! Something exciting about myself? Geez, During my DH's 25 yr Navy career, we made 14 major moves...since the age of 18 I have lived from 1 end of the US to the other (not every state, obviously...that wouldn't be interesting, it would be exhausting!!). Am I dull?? I don't want to be dull...I've got other stories ;) Thanks for the chance to win such a great giveaway!!!
ReplyDeleteWow...this is sooo gorgeous, and your flowers look amazing, Michele!! What great dimension too!!
ReplyDeleteI can not stand to hear a baby/small child cry, but I work in a pediatric office,lol...
ReplyDeleteGreat card!
I would be happier than happy to win this. Something about me, I make approx. 100 thank you, thinking of you cards per month for our local family shelter. I love being able to do anything to brighten their days. I would make more if I had the time, but working full time gets in the way. ha ha.
ReplyDeleteLovely card! As for something interesting about me? Hmmmm...how about that I grew up on an island (mere minutes from the ocean) and don't know how to swim due to an incredible fear of water. So much so that I can't stand to even have water on my face in the shower!
ReplyDeleteGorgeous Michele!! Love the dimension, colors and design! Stunning gift!
ReplyDeletemichelle......love your card as always.
ReplyDeleteOne interesting fact about me is I dream every night and in color, hehe

ReplyDeleteSomething about myself? I'm a Certified Alcohol & Drug Counselor, and LBSW. I enjoy your work and hope to learn from you.
ReplyDeleteWhat a pretty card! Let's see, something about me is that I am a cancer survivor of 32 years! and while not interesting I am a paper hoarder along with most everything to do with this fun hobby of ours. More? I work in an elementary school and know every childs name (516 of them!)
ReplyDeleteNice card!! I have Freshly picked and love it so!! Something interesting about me you ask? Well I am a very big introvert and I have no control overit...Is that strange?? Love your card..TFS!!!

Hmmmmmmmmm. Interesting, huh? Two years ago I went through the Citizens Police Academy, the Citizens Fire Academy, the Community Emergency Response Team and the Child Abduction Response Team. Now THOSE were interesting and I highly recommend everybody to check to see if their city offers these programs - and then enroll. You will not be sorry!

ReplyDeletecraftylin1968 at aol.com
wow! The card is gorgeous and so unique looking. You'd never know it was made with a cricut! Something interesting about myself. Well, lets see, today I drove to work in a blinding snow blizzard, got stuck in a snow bank, called work and said 'I'm not coming!, I've had it, I'm turning around and going home as soon as I'm out of this snow bank!'
ReplyDeleteI have not yet to see this paper.

caWOW what a beautiful card, I'm a paper hoarder because the closest Hobby Lobby is 2 1/2 hrs away so when i have time to go i buy alot. Walmart is 2hrs and all I get at home is dial-up so that takes awhile for pictures to load and i have to refresh alot to see all of them.c90designs@gmail.com
ReplyDeleteLove that card! My interesting fact (could probably be classified as weird!) is that I cannot stand to have foods mingling on my plate - if I could find an adult-sized divided plate, I would be a very very happy girl! (told you it was weird!)
