F for Feathered Friends at the Alphabet Challenge Blog

Hello Everyone,

I hope you had an enjoyable weekend. This weekend was a bright & cool weekend, lovely weather to enjoy the outdoors. This weekend my sister from Corpus came in to go to the Cricut SWARM with me. It was a fun filled day of crop till you drop, chalked full of demo’s, working on projects & sharing company with some very talented people. I really enjoy my cricut nights; I always come home with new techniques or a better understanding of how to get the most out of your cricut.

Well on to my project. Today’s card is generated for my DT post at Alphabet Challenge Blog I made this card pretty simply with Fancy Frames Cartridge, Prima flowers, feathers & a new Whimsie Doodles digi called Social Doll head - Flirting
