Which Card Should I Enter in the Fair? - Poll Take 2

It was brought to my attention today that many of you were trying to vote in my poll but that it wouldn't work. So I asked dh to take a look into the situation. What we found was that we couldn't set the permissions for everyone to vote like we thought we had. It only allows "members" of the forum to vote. I apologize for all the chaos and confusion as dh has been trying the forum as a new venture in relation to the online craft store that we will be opening in October. And thank you for sticking with us through our learning curves.

That said anyone who's participated in my contests knows how much I hate it when you have to sign up to follow a blog or post a link from someone else's to yours etc in order to enter......so I have decided to post all the choices here for your voting pleasure and convenience. Besides I really need your help. :o)

Please leave a comment below with your card choice and this weekend I will chose a winner at random who will win a brand new Stretch Your Imagination cartridge.

Here are your choices:

Combination Confusion

"Foxy" Hi

Hanging Around

Kissing Frogs

Boo to You

College Bound

Magical Christmas

Skating Snowglobe

Mrs. Claus' Cookies

Playground

Snowman Soup

New Home Congratulations - Card Challenge #24

Wendy asked me to create a card with Home Decor. She said:
I am new to the "Cricut world", and need a "Congratulations on your new home". I thought the Home Decor cart would be nice. I am not sure of the cuts. I am not very creative, which is why I love your blog!! Maybe the chandelier, for an old world look?
So after several scrapped designs I just decided to take the easy way out and use the chandelier by itself. Very simplistic I know.....but sometimes less is more.

The "Congratulations" are slide on alphas from the Paper Studio that I found on clearance at Hobby Lobby. I bought a couple packs figuring I'd use them on something and after months of hanging on the peg wall I finally found the perfect project.

Paper Pups Christmas - Card challenge #23

Karma's assignment for me was to use:

Paper Pups for the cart, using any of the Christmas themed cuts like the doggies in stockings or the Santa doggie, perhaps with the fireplace? And of course, the Christmas theme! I used Christmas Cheer for the fireplace.

Piglet Get Well - Card Challenge #22

Laney's assignment for me was: How about Pooh & Friends Use Piglet and make a Get Well Card

I saw this idea done originally with Pooh months ago and thought it was so cute that I chose it for this card.

The bed and the blanket are from the new Every Day Paper Dolls. The blanket was actually a towel that I cut around on to fit my needs.

Free Standing Family Tree

I created this family tree to go along with my "Rouse House" that I made back in April. The inspiration for the project came about when I was browsing through a catalog and saw a wood kit for creating one. As soon as I saw it though I thought I can make one of those.....so away I went - creating my own family tree.

This one was created using foam core board and grungeboard for the picture frames.
