Another Card

for one of my amazing companions in Peru...I seem to talk about Peru a lot...at least everything I've been doing lately is for people in Peru.  I guess you can take the girl out of Peru, but you can't take Peru out of the girl (cliche, I know).  Anywho, this is for one of the sisters that I trained.  I love this card, because while we were together, hope and love were both attributes that we wanted to make better, and we worked to be better.  (I'll just have to translate it into Spanish on the inside, but she's a pretty smart girl.  I think she'll get it :)

Can I just say too, how much I love my Cricut and my design studio?  Well, I am.  I love it.  They make amazing little cards like this beautiful, at least for me.

Shape Up!!

Man, I am on a roll!!  Anywho, challenge #185 at 365 Cards-Shape Up.  We had to pick a polygon that had more than 5 sides (and thanks to my elementary ed math class last semester, I have polygons fresh in my mind).  I chose to do a decagon.  A what-a-gon?  Yep.  A decagon!  10 sides, my friends! (Some may say this looks like a star....which...it is! :)

I also think it's kind of funny how the colors I ended up using in this one were pink and orange-the same colors I used for challenge #184 (although there is a lot more brown in this card as well)

The decagons (or stars) were cut out from George cart.  I used DS to create the swirlies from my new favorite Home Decor cart. and the phrase "shoot for the stars" came from the Doodletype cart., welded together with my DS. (I guess I should have put decagons instead of stars, but I don't think it would have had the same meaning ;)    The patterned paper on the background on the card came from DCVW Glitter Stack.

This is a 5.5 x 5.5 card, with half of the big star sticking out from the rest of the card.

Well, what do you think?
