I finally did it!

That's right. I finally finally FINALLY made a circle card. After saying for months that I would, I finally did. It's not perfect, but I am happy with it. :)


I'll go ahead and show you the card first:




I had such a great time creating this card. I bought the Circle Cutter from SU a few weeks ago and finally decided to open the box and give it a go especially since Julee has really simple instructions on her blog, albeit using nestabilities, HERE.


I made it using this weeks' Mojo Monday sketch and the Color Throwdown color challenges.  Here is the sketch:





And here are the colors from Color Throwdown (brought to us by Kristin!)




Look at all of those fun colors!! The paper that I used seemed to have all of those colors in it {lucky!}, so I went with it. I also used the new Think Big Favorites #3 stamp from Papertrey.

Well, I hope you have a great Thursday! It's almost the weekend!! Woot!

Thanks for stopping by.
