Mojo Monday 174

Well I started out following the Mojo Monday 174 sketch. I ended up on a tangent and it doesn't really fit this sketch. But since I started with it, I feel it only fitting to state that I started with it. I used Mini Monograms for the scalloped square, which I added paper piercing to. The ribbon is from Stampin' Up. The chandelier is from my new French Manor Cricit cartridge. I finished it up with some Spare Parts flowers and brads.

Sweet Sunday Sketch Challenge 101

Here is my take of SSSC101. I went a little different from the sketch. I cut out the ovals from my new French Manor cartridge and they were way too small to use in the center. So I flipped it to the side and added this ladybug that I had pre-assemble {which was too small for another card I was making...lol} I'm thinking that I should have used some designer paper for this one. Well I'm still happy with the out come.

My Cricut Rewards Haul

I've been saving up my rewards points because there didn't seem to be anything I felt like spending them on. Well, the other day when I logged on they had all these new items. I was so excited! Then I saw that they said "Circle Exclusive" and I was disappointed. I got to thinking, why are these showing up now when they never did before? I decided to see if I could add them to my shopping cart and low and behold they did. Before I could check out, I had to stop to do something else {life does get in the way sometimes}. When I came back the next day, those new items were no longer there but guess what they were still in my shopping cart. So I checked out. Only $11.88 for all 4 cartridges.

Later, when I was on the Cricut Message board I saw someone said that there was a systme glitch that was allowing everyone to see the Circle Exclusive items. One women even said that she ordered some but was sent an email the next day saying her order was cancelled because she wasn't a Circle member. So I kept expecting that to happen to me. But it never did {smile}, I recived an shipping notification email and I received the cartridges a few days later.


So I guess I got away with it. I don't feel guilty, because I when I ordered the items, I had no intention of trying to cheat anything. Also at the same time, regardless of a system glitch, I think they should have honored any orders anyway.

Thanks for looking,
Valerie
