Request

To all my Cricut friends - did anyone happen to pick up an extra Pagoda at the Michael's 9.99 sale.
I went to three stores and they were sold out of that one.
I had the cart in my hand the Friday before when it was 29.99 (not knowing of the 9.99 sale would be going on 2 days later) and put it down..... so - I am wondering if anyone grabbed it or perhaps did not want it. I bought Paisley which I like - but now I am having buyers sorrow... about Pagoda. I am checking a few online stores like Custom Crops and Oh My Crafts.

Just thought I would ask.
Have a great day and hoping to get some layouts done as it is a holiday from work today to observe Martin Luther King Jr.

hand in hand

First off please excuse the coloring... I was trying something out and it didn't work and it was already stuck down and I tried to fix it and grabbed the WRONG color!!!!
In person - it's not too bad, but the camera picks up all the defects. GRRR.

Anyway I spent a great deal of time on this card and my dear friend will not recognize (I hope) my error.
In any event - the image is from SU, the cut of is from Spellbinders (I'm trying to use more) the punches are Martha Stewart's. The Ribbon is from Michael's and the sentiment is from Studio G
Here is the inside.
I am entering this card in the following challenges.

Layout from Get Sketchy #70
Color theme from For fun Challenge - fall colors in spring

Valentine be mine

This is a larger size card - I think an A7 from DCWV (brown textured) which led me to fill more of the space but I think I did ok.
I used the Martha Stewart heart punch, the color combo at Allsorts of brown and blue so I worked it up from there. Added some new yarn I bought yesterday at AC Moore - it is so soft! The pearls are from Prima Marketing and the sentiment and punch surrounding it is from SU!
The sketch I used to complete this card is from Mojo Monday#173

Happy Botday!

Made this card for my nephew birthday which is in a couple weeks.
I used the Stampin' Up! Set for the cute robot and sentiment, made it into a tag and mounted it on a Cuttlebug embossing folder. The inside sentiment is from Plantin Schoolbook Cricut Cartridge for the large letter B and the happy is from a diff cart - sorry can't remember at this time.

Turtle wishes

My daughter starts her college semester tomorrow. She is in her middler year and wish her well.
She loves turtles and I was thrilled when I bought this Paisley Cricut cartridge at Michael's for 9.99 that there was a turtle on there.

I cut the turtle at 3", when I dropped her off in Boston today, I put a gift card to her favorite lunch spot that they just opened near her and slipped the card in her little mail slot.
This is being entered in C.R.A.F.T challenge #84

A Snail Hello

The snail is cut also from Paisley at 3", doesn't it look like she is sleeping!
I followed the sketch at OWH Starts & Stripes blog fo challenge #51
Added some stitching with my white pen and glitter to the center flower.
