One Scrap at a Time

 Two posts in one day? Wow! I am still playing with the Wild Card 2 Cricut cart and lots of scrap papers. I added these clear skittles to make it look like water. ~Tee

I recently bought the new Wild Card 2 Cricut cartridge and couldn't wait to play with it - there are so many adorable projects, too many to choices!!!  After looking through the book two or was it three time?

Is it too early to do father's day cards? :)  I came across this file, Cards for Dad, at SVG Attic and knew it would be a perfect card for my Dad who has really been there for me during the last year.
