I made this card for the Cricut Cardz Challenge. I sure do love cupcakes, especially scrumptious chocolate ones.

Sweet Treats cartridge ~ Cupcake (p.26) cut at 3 1/4" and candle (p. 40) cut at 3"

My Mind's Eye paper

orange crinkle ribbon

orange gems

The World of Dr. Seuss Hop

“Think left and think right and think low and think high.

Oh, the thinks you can think up if only you try!”

~ Dr. Seuss

Don't hop on pop but hop on top of the Dr. Seuss Blog Hop, where a bunch of talented people came up with their own interpretations of the wonderful imagination of Dr. Seuss. The skies the limit when you have an imagination like Dr. Seuss and talent like those in this hop. Our hop today is hostessed by Jearise in Lorby's World and that is were to begin if you've happened here by chance otherwise continue on my friend.

Jearise in Lorby's World has some fun blog candy for this hop. She has a stuffed Cat in the Hat and a fun Thing 1 and Thing 2 craft, plus a $10 gift card to Michaels. I know they're silly, but doesn't that follow in the steps of Dr. Seuss?

Here is my project...

2 mini Grinch cards
