And now, on to today's new CHALLENGE.........

For Ch# 55 make an Easel Card - 
or some call it a Pedestal Card.

We have a very special Guest Designer today, Mary of CardzTV. I just have to say that Mary is one of my very best friends. We've known each other since I first started blogging a few years ago. Be sure to watch her video below to see her Easel Card and instructions on how to make one yourself. And don't forget to pop over to her blog for some exciting changes and news she has in the works. But shhhh..... I'm not going to tell.... you'll have to go discover the secret yourself. Think of it as a scavenger hunt. :)

Visit Mary @ CARDZTV


Our sponsor this week is K Andrew Designs with the FASHIONABLE FRIENDS stamp set!  I have to tell you, I own this set and it's perfect for so many different types of projects! I even made a Halloween card with a witch flying on her broom and combined 2 of the stamps in this set for my sentiment to say, "I'm here for you When you need a little "lift"..."   Hahahaha... I thought that was so funny.

I hope you'll take a moment or two to visit their web store. For every stamp set purchase, $1 is donated to various charities. I love that in a small way I'm helping out a charity when I buy their stamps! You can see a list of charities and which stamp set benefits which one by clicking HERE.

How to be Eligible to WIN:
1. Become a FOLLOWER if you aren't already. :)
2. Submit a new EASEL CARD below (no back posting to previously made projects)
3. We'd love it if you would leave a COMMENT on this post, but not required.

Do your challenges have to have an item from the use of the cricut? Wasn't sure but thought so since you are a cricut challenge. Just thought I would ask.
