Good afternoon friends,
We hope you’re enjoying your summer! Today is another Wonderful Wednesday and that means a new challenge here at CWC!
This week’s theme is all about the Dads in our Lives!
We want to see your Father’s Day related projects.

Here is what the wonderful CWC Chefs Created for your inspiration!

Jean used the Car Decals, Batman and Wild Card Cartridges.

Roberta used the Handyman Lite and Birthday Bash cartridges to create this realistic looking gift card holder.



Stacey used the Wrap It Up cartridge to create this Football fan’s card.



Jen used: Create A Critter, Just Because, Calligraphy, Doodlecharms, My World and Easter 2010 to create this ADORABLE cards for the men in their lives!



Dalis used the Wrap It Up cartridge to “tie up” this super card!



Maria Elena used the Tags, Bags, Boxes and More Cartridge to celebrate her beloved father.



Madison used the Pooh Font Cartridge to create this beautiful keepsake.



Melin used the Wrap It Up and Heritage Cartridges to create this layout.


I also used the dynamite paper from The Paper Temptress!
This paper is hands down the most gorgeous stuff! The flourished and the border strip paper are a beautiful shimmery paper. I am SO SORRY my photo just does NOT do it justice!

Please be sure to head over to the The Paper Temptress and check out all her truly yummy paper!

Every Day in May Blog-Aversary ~ Day 2

Welcome to Cooking With Cricut's one year anniversary party!  In honor of our blog turning one, we will be showcasing a new project and post EVERY DAY in MAY! Each day various Design Team members will bring you special projects and the theme will be Celebrations! Anything in our lives we celebrate! So look for a WIDE range of super fun projects coming your way.

We will also be having DAILY freebies compliments of PaperCraftingWorld.com!  Each day there will be either a cutting file or digital stamp up for grabs. But you will have to come back each day as the files will only be available for 24 hours! That’s it..only 24 hours!  So get ready to make us a daily part of your life in May as you don’t want to miss out on our freebies.  We will also have weekly give-a-ways from other wonderful sponsors too! So keep your eyes peeled!

So here we go . . . I'm Jen from Musings of A Crafty Mom.  I am honored to have been chosen for Melin's very first CWC Design Team.  It has been tons of fun, challenging and enabled me to meet and become friends with so many incredibly crafty women -- in fact, I've had so much fun that I'm starting my third term!  The celebration I'm featuring today is a Mickey Mouse 1st Birthday Party.  My grandson, Dylan, turned one yesterday and we partied with Mickey and all his friends!

My projects include:  A birthday banner, a freezer paper t-shirt, four framed pieces, and a card.  Please pop over to my blog for all of the details -- sizes and papers used.
