Now onto my Mansion "Room" to tour.......
I am DT Diva Sandy and I head up the Cardmaking/Stamping Group along with the Cricut-licious group! Both are wonderful groups, in the card group we have some awesome tutorials to share along with inspiration from each other.  Of course in the Cricut group, we keep each other up on the current Cricut news, products, and tips.  We have a bunch of talented divas that just rock with their Cricuts and Gypsies!!!!

For our hop, the card I made is in honor of Mother's day, and I can't wait to give it on Sunday to my Mom!

And here is my latest Cricut project, this banner for the fireplace. Trying to make one for each major holiday.  I love the Spring look of this one so I'm keeping it up! 
Cartridges used: banner shape- Birthday Bash, Font- Nursery Ryhme
Glad you joined me for my part of the Mansion Tour, now to your next tour guide...

Building Block Graduation Card

By
Hello, everyone! Melissa here on to share a "building block" style card with you. I made this one graduation themed, since there are a ton of graduations going on right now. Hope you enjoy this card, and are inspired to try it out yourself. Here is the tutorial I followed from Split Coast Stampers. To make it easier, I will give you all the measurements, here. It looks harder than it is, I promise. Start with a piece of cardstock in your desired color that is 5.5 x 10.5.
