Welcome to another fun challenge Wednesday here and over at  COOKING WITH CRICUT ! This week is all about texture which is so great to add to your projects! Texture kicks everything up a notch or two! :-) I made a birthday card and added texture by using the birthday cuttlebug folder and then sanding it to show the contrasting color on the inside.  I also used the Walk In My Garden cartridge for the die cut on the front. Although this is a simple and quick way to add texture, it is still very effective in making your card or project pop!  Thanks for stopping by today and don't forget to stop over at  COOKING WITH CRICUT  to participate in this week's challenge by linking up your own textured project for the chance at a great prize!

Hello everyone!! This is the mini that I made as my first project on the design team of  Cricut Mini Albums  !! I made a 4x4 book with my bind-it-all. I love using black pages and clear covers! The cricut cuts I used are: leaves on both sides of front cover and pumpkin on both sides of back cover from Gypsy Wanderings - fence from Everyday Paper Dolls - football corner from Sports Mania - garden sign from Walk in My Garden. I also used some little Creative Memories punches and stickers and some Hobby Lobby cardstock stickers.  I also had fun using my gel pens to do some dotting and stitching - one of my latest "obsessions"!! Thanks for stopping by today and don't forget to do something creative!!
