A Perfect Pair Anniversary Card

I was at a 'swarm' this weekend, which is the nickname for a crop for cricut addicts. It was in Orlando, and luckily two of my pals came with me, so I didn't have to drive (thanks Cheryl). I hate the interstates around Orlando, and would probably still be there, going round and round in circles, handing over the kids inheritance at the toll booths........................... Anyway, back to the swarm, we had a great time, made new friends, laughed and chatted a lot. I made only 5 cards in 2 days, which is an indication of how much I was enjoying myself. We were asked to provide 30 items to put in 'goodie bags', and I had no idea I was supposed to be crafty. The stuff was fantastic - to give you an indication of how much I have to raise the bar for the next swarm, the fabulous little cat face treat bag above, is by my super talented friend Phyllis. She made 30!

The design team over on Bitten By The Bug were asked to use this pear cut from Home Accents this week. Take a look over there, there are some amazing designs. I cut the pears at 4", using papers from a Cloud 9 stack (Joannes), the white scallops are a new punch by martha stewart (who else?!) called double scallops. Ribbon also by MS
