My own personnal challange

I currently have 31 cricut cartridges (not nearly as many as a would perfer to have). But I find that many of the images are not being used. Some I would probably not use unless I was forced to do so. So I have issued a challange to myself. First I have temporily numbered my cartidges 1 to 31. Then I went on line and used a random number generator to randomly choose which of the 31 cartidges I would use. Also each cartridge has 50 different buttons/images, so again I went to the random generator to choose which one I would use for my card.

So for my first personnal challange the random generator picked the "M" from All Mixed Up. Because this mostly is a font cartidge I used the random generator to pick a second cartidge and image. The second one was the Lady Bug from Walk in My Garden.

So this is what I went with. A girl at work (could you guess her name is Mary??) has a birthday coming up next month and I need a card of course.
