You're My Favorite - Circle Challenge!

Hey all! 

Welcome to new followers and friends! :) 

Today I made this card up super quickly to get into the Cricut Circle Weekly Challenge which was "Sweet Summertime" and they wanted us to use a stamp too. 

I don't have a whole lot of stamps - seriously nearly all of them are My Pink Stamper so I just used a stamp for my sentiment. I felt bad about realizing that they probably meant a background stamp so I pulled apart the card (as I was writing this) and added a background stamp (which doesn't show up in the photo as well as it shows up in person) and re-shot it and here is the before and after! :) The background stamp is in the upper left and bottom right.

You can get EVERYTHING I used on this card apart from the solid cardstock, cartridges, and Cuttlebug folder from my AWESOME sponsor PUMPKIN SPICE! They have the best shipping rates and the best prices on product! They also have the best customer service! Check it out! I love enabling! :)
