Birthday Princess Card and Envelope

Created this Princess Birthday Card 
using the Birthday Cakes Cricut 
cartridge.


Created an envelope to compliment
the card using my Martha Stewart
scoring board. 


Also, on a side note if you are seeing a ribbon
blog format before my Bzzz Bees show up I do 
not know why this is happening but it started 
Mon 4/2 and somehow Blogger upgraded me 
to a new posting format which takes a little 
getting use to and I'm not sure of what text 
size to use so I will be making adjustments.

    1. I've changed the text to Large. Please let me know if that helps. I'll see if I can change size of photos when they are already there or if I have to upload them at Large size & delete Medium size to make change.

    2. Changed the photos to Large by clicking on the photo & the screen giving me the options for photo size. Had tried this earlier and the screen was not showing the options but when I tried again it had the options shown. Please let me know if the Large photo size is better. I did notice that it does put alot of white space between the photos & the text.

  9. Thanks. I keep a notebook with most challenges written down and I usually set out to make something that fits about 4-6 challenges and then I see there are more after I finish that it also fits into, Also, there are quite a few challenges that allow multiple entries with some unlimited ones that make for a better chance at winning a prize when the random winner is selectd.
