This card was inspired by a card DJ1952 on the Cricut Message Boards posted the other day... click here to see her card.... its really very different but the title made me see this chair in my head with flowers in it...but you see it evolved into something different.... but without DJs card I would have never in a million years thought up this card.... so I hope that she loves it!!...then the perfect Bible Verse came to me for the inside... Psalm 46:10... this very verse gave me so much peace today!!... so I needed this card... hope you like it!!... thank you so much for your comments!... Hugs, Jeannie

Recipe Page

Forever ago I started Madison an 8x8 recipe book sometime I received my first Cricut... made her and I about 10 pages then lost interest....today she sent me an e-mail with 2 recipes and a list of things I cook that she wants in that book.... so I told her that I would do her one a week... one down no telling how many to go.... one day her kids will cook out of it... how cool is that!

Madison has to send me the recipe so that I don't have to type it out...that is what stopped me before that part was so boring...so now all I have to do is copy and paste the recipe and ingredients... the only Cricut I used was Animal Kingdom and I cut the chicken @ 2 inches.

Turtle Friends, so fitting for another one of mine and Vicki's challenges... Vicki picked this cut... and I picked Friends after looking at the cut... I though "Those realistic turtles oh Vicki you have got to be kidding me!". but that is what makes it a challenge isn't it... then I found my paper...and knew the front facing turtle was sitting on the back of the side facing turtle and I got excited and went to work... I hope that you like it... it was such a fun card to do.

Disclaimer: My thief of a cat took my directions!!!... she always takes my craft supplies... I have no idea why!...but this time while my card was drying she took my directions ... so this is from memory...
