Nathaniel is my second grandson. Since he was 7 and was in his first Community Theater production of Winnie the Pooh, he has wanted to become an actor. He is the most determined young man I have ever met. He lived in New York City for 6 years and has now moved to Los Angeles to pursue his dreams. His birthday was last week, so I made him this combination card, part birthday and part encouragement card.
Card Recipe:
5"X6.5" card base
Background Paper - DCWV Natural Paper Stack
Never Give Up, Film Strip - Cut from Wall Decor Cricut Cartridge

I kept the inside simple to write my message to him on.

Leah Cornelius of Heart Song Inspirations just released this image, actually it's two images I merged. It's called Baby Bundle I think she may be thinking a lot about a baby. She and her husband left Sunday for Ethiopia to meet their little boy they're going to adopt. I understand it is a long process to adopt. They won't get to bring him back with them yet. More red tape.
Anyway I made this card thinking about her. I hope I'll get to send it to her soon. I put the airplanes on it to represent not only that little boys like planes but to represent the distance they have to go to get him. God Bless You, Leah and your little family.

From what I read on other blogs and on the Cricut Message Board, we all have several cartridges we have not used. I made this card for the Bitten By The Bug 2 Challenge this week. I used 6 cartridges, some of which I had never used before.
The challenge was to create a card using the sewing machine on the Heritage cartridge. The paper I used is from the My Mind's Eye Out & About paper stack. The cartridges and card elements are as follows:
Sewing Machine - Heritage - Cut at 3"X1.75" (Never used)
Flourish - French Manor - I did use FM 1 time before
Labels - Stamping
The Word SEW - Wall Decor - (Never Used)
The Word Sweet - Create-A-Critter (Never Used)
Buttons - Paisley (Never Used)
I guess I should hang my head in shame for having cartridges I've never used. I like the way this card turned out. I hope you will be inspired to use your unused cartridges.
Thank you for dropping by today. God Bless You..Peggy
