Cricut Calligraphy Collection cart... projects to share!

I am finally getting around to making a post for these assignments from CreativeXpress last month. I don't know where all the days are flying to because I find it hard to believe that we are already in the 5th month of the year! And it'll soon be Summer, officially, so I hope that it soon begins to act like Summer too. But not too stinkin' hot, lol!

So yes, this past month I got to work with the Calligraphy Collection cartridge from Cricut for my projects and found out that I love the fonts from this! There are also some really cute phrases and images perfect for cardmaking. I made two cards and one scrapbook layout, and here they are...

"Be Happy" card

"Hope" card

"Autumn Welcome"

Full intructions for how I put these projects together can be found over at CX's new blog!

I hope everyone had a special Mother's Day last Sunday, whether you celebrated with your own children, with your own mothers and perhaps Grandmothers too, or all of them! I know a special day like Mother's Day can be difficult for some as well... I know that I myself struggle a bit, but I still celebrate it because I enjoy spending the day with my own mom and grandmother. I also know that I am a mom to those angels of mine, even though they can't be with me here in the physical sense. I was surprised by a beautiful card that I got from my hubby and angels. I have the most thoughtful and sincere husband ever... I totally believe that! It was a great day... we also had a fun cook-out (although somewhat breezy), here at our place for mom and gram! It seems we've really been into the cook-outs and barbecuing on the grill since we just bought a new gas grill at the end of last month. Now it's hard to cook anything in the kitchen, lol!

Well, I need to get going and do something productive on my list. This weekend we are having a yard sale and there's still a lot to still get ready for it... can't wait til it's over and all the junk is gone... at least I hope!
