Here’s a menu board I created using Plantin Schoolbook: [IMG]http://i101.photobucket.com/albums/m74/Keizerin1/DSC_0008.jpg[/IMG] I would love the From my Kitchen to make the embellishments to this as well since I give them away as gifts! Thanks for the opportunity!

If you haven’t heard already, there are three new seasonal cartridges. And lucky for us…the imaged have been leaked! They are Thanksgiving, Christmas Village, and Christmas Cards.
Your favorite? I love the phrases on the Thanksgiving but think I would get the most use out of the Christmas Cards.
Seasonal Cartridges retail at $24.99 and are supposed to be available for just a season.
Okay ladies… Many of you know that am teaching at the Creating Keepsakes Convention in Tulsa in a couple weeks.

Our precious Cricut friend Monique has recently been diagnosed with stage three breast cancer. You can follow her journey on her Caring Bridge Site
Last night I made this card for her with my Gypsy. I used the bikini top from Life’s A Beach, flipped one of them and welded them together. Pretty cute for a bra I must say:)
Robyn from My Pink Stamper has encouraged us all to send pink cards her way, and I would like to make that a reality. You can participate in the “Pink for Monique” campaign by sending cards and words of encouragement to:
Monique Griffith
1879 Butterfly Ct.
Rocklin, CA 95765
I can not possibly imagine what she and her family are going through right now. I do know that we can lift her up and keep her covered in prayer. My Jesus is a healing Jesus, and I know that He has her family in the refuge of His wings.
I have never used a “linky’ before, but if you make a card for Monique (or a breast cancer/pink card in general), Please link your pic so we can all be encouraged and inspired. Thank you all!
