I also used this week's sketch from Tuesday Morning Sketches. Then the challenge at Crazy 4 Challenges and the Character Cafe was to use stitching somewhere on the card. And finally, Stamp Something challenged us to use brown as a dominant color in our card.

Spongebob Birthday Card
Hello everyone! I'm not a big fan of Mr. Spongebob, but my neice is. She is having a spongebob birthday party tomorrow, so I made her this card. I just used a spongebob coloring page that I found through google. I printed it on regular paper. Then I cut out this scalloped circle with the circle embroidery template using my cricut. I then taped my circle over the printed image so that when I printed the image a second time, it would be exactly where I wanted it on the scallop. And finally I added some red stitches to the circle.

A Bonus Freebie from LSS & A New Use for Your Cricut!
Apparently our mistake makes this your lucky day! We thought we'd give out all the DT freebies, but there's still one more! So browse the DT's blogs below to find it!
This week I decided to finally use this beautiful Flourished Dragonfly stamp that I've been admiring ever since Lindsay created it. It is just stunning! I decided that I loved the black and white as is, so I just gave the dragonfly himself a little color and sparkle. He's coated in glitter and sparkle. 
Don't forget to check out the links below to see who has the freebie this week!
----On to the New Use for Your Cricut!------
Do you see those stitched designs in the corners of this scrapbook LO? I did those with my circut! Don't believe me? Well this is how it works... You simply use the cricut to cut out the tiny holes just like you would any other svg. It is completely re-sizeable (just don't forget to choose "keep proportions". Then after the Cricut is finished, you have an embroidery template design and you may use a needle and some floss to fill complete the stitching. So easy a caveman could do it!
In case you'd like to try this technique I'm putting the three designs below in my store. Want to try before you buy? Check out the freebie Circle LO that I posted yesterday.
Another thing I might add, these are great to cut on on your cricut and then save for later. That way when your husband wants you to "spend time" with him, (for my husband that means watch tv w/him) you can sit and do the stitching then!
This one would look great on a card! I plan to turn this one into a card when I get the time.
