I'm Late! I'm Late!
It is painful for me to admit, but I did not get all of my Valentine's cards done on time. I cannot stand to be late. At one point, in an earlier career, dire consequences would occur for my clients or myself if I completed a task late. I just don't do late.
Except this time. I don't know how it happened but my daughter's Valentine's Card just didn't get finished before the big day.
But- that just led to an opportunity to create a different card.
Since I was planning on getting her and her husband a gift card to their favorite Mexican restaurant anyway, I just had to make a play on words. You have to be able to laugh at your mistakes!
I made the entire card with the "Ole" cartridge. (Yes, I even had the actual physical cartridge with my first Cricut!) The letters had to be cut from vinyl - I could not glue those tiny letters- but they were still difficult to place!
I think I will be forgiven for being tardy this time. I hope so!
St. Patrick's Day cards are being worked on as we speak! I will not be late again!
Another way that the timing of this card was fortuitous- the Bitten by the Bug 2 Challenge this week is Bon Appetite- A Food Themed Challenge. Click through the link to see what the talented crafters have cooked up!
I hope that you can find some joy in your mistakes! As we say in my family- a delayed gift extends the happiness!
Thank you for stopping by today!

Being late works in your favor for a yummy/tasty gift card holder creation. Mexican food gift card is an added plus. I also have the Ole physical cartridge.

This is perfect, especially with yesterday being National Margarita Day. Thanks for joining us BBTB2.
ReplyDeleteI absolutely agree to prolonging the celebration! I love this cute card and yhe punny saying. Your daughter will love this card! Thanks for joining us at bbtb2.
ReplyDeleteSuch a great punny card! I think it possibly turned out even cuter than an actual Valentine card would have been, since the gift was a Mexican restaurant card. And your card looks good enough to eat and take a sip of those margaritas....yum! Thanks for joining us and sharing your project with us at BBTB2 for the food challenge!

ReplyDeleteThe perfect sentiment for a late card and including food. Thank you for joining the challenge at Bitten by the Bug 2 Challenge Blog.
ReplyDeleteCynthia, I thought I commented on this last week, but I don't see it showing up, so perhaps I looked at this but didn't actually click publish! So sorry for the lateness!!!! I loved this, as punny projects are my favorite, and thought the taco themed card with the restaurant gift cards was inspired!
