Here's the card I made using the Shortcuts sketch. It uses a frosted card blank as a base. I cut a window in the front panel of the cart and used a piece of clear acetate to fill it in. The rest is lovely Bo Bunny papers, Prima flowers, a 7 Gypsies rub on and some help from my Cricut. You can check out my other Crew cards in the 'Varks gallery.

Be sure to check out the full gallery of Shortcuts/Sheetloads projects made by the Caardvarks Crew. For our Caards & More projects this time around you are being treated to a travel game board by Carrie, a feminine gift bag by Pam and a dry erase calendar board by Mel.

So clearly, this challenge is worth trying. *wink wink* GOOD LUCK!

This card is just so soft and feminine. The frosted acetate with those papers and the card design is **cough** **cough** SHEER perfection! :)
