Yay! First card of the season and 27 more to go...

Even the Cricut gremlins tried their mojo on me with my less than sticky cutting mat... but I prevailed (used semi-permanent glue stick) and created my first card of the season. I ventured out and went to M's and got 2 new mats, some buttons and gold 'Stickles'.... I am armed and ready... bring it on!
