One of the fun things we did today was a card contest and all of the cards received are going to be donated to a local charity. Such a great idea! Since our sponsor for the Social was Tamiko's, we were to make a card using her colors, pink, green and black. Here's what I created:
Once again I used my Cricut and the Create A Critter cartridge. I'm not sure you can see it, but the pink layer is actually glitter paper from Doodlebug and I love it! In case you didn't know this about me, I LOVE PIGGIES! So of course I had to use this cutie patootie! And look at her little happy face flag! It's so cute I can't stand it!!!
Before I share the projects we made, I have to show you a picture of the food we had ...
Salad, spring rolls, fried saimin (super ono!), garlic chicken, teriyaki meatballs, and deep fried mushrooms. See my dessert in the background? Man, that brownie was so fudgy!!! Mmm, good!
On to the projects. We made four things. First up, this cute treat box, using the Big Shot Pro. Such a silly looking pumpkin yeah? I love his missing teeth and his googly eyes!
Next up is this adorable panda card! It came together super quick because the panda was made using the 3M Post-it Brand Craft Paper. This paper definitely makes your Cricut projects super fast!
The last projects were a couple of gift card holders. Check out the GCH on the left - I thought the flowers were cut from a die, but it's actually a Martha Stewart punch! I gotta get me one of those ...
Hope you all enjoyed your day as much as I did! I got to meet some bloggers that I've never had the chance to meet in person, made some new friends, and also got to catch up with some old ones. Until next time, take care and I leave you with this ...

Hi Linda!! Wow looks like you all had a blast. The food looks so ono! And those cards and projects you all did are fantastic. Love the piggy card you made. Those colors are great together. And that flag...too cute! The gift card holders are pretty awesome, and like you, I have to have that flower punch from MS. The pumpkin treat box is too hilarious, but super cute as well. And I have to say that panda card is adorable. Shoots, gotta get that cartridge out of the package so I can create some cuteness too. MFS and have a great Sunday!! Hugs, :)

Amazing we were able to finish our projects yah? I didn't even finish my 2nd GC holder because I was having so much fun! I love your card! I wish I didn't talk so much and got over to the voting area to vote. DUH. I wanted to take photos of all the cards but lost track of time. I didn't even take photos of my card for my blog! DUH again. It was worth it though- had so much fun meeting everyone. Gotta leave the table next time though and meet more people!
