Cruzing Around

"Success usually comes to those who are too busy to be looking for it."    Henry David Thoreau

Well, the big day will be here tomorrow. The crafts fair I've been focused on for the last few weeks. With the last cards hot off the press, and everything packed up in the car ready to go in the morning (bright and early...way too early), I can take a deep breath and ...blog. 

For the Diva's challenge this week, the UMT (Use My Tangle), was MY tangle - Cruze. I was very surprised since I just submitted it and know there were already many on the list waiting to be picked. Of course I knew that I had to at least submit something to the challenge since it is my tangle, but being sooo busy this week getting ready for tomorrow, I didn't have much time. I finally sat down this afternoon and gave it a whirl. Although I haven't gotten the chance to look at what everyone else has done for this challenge (I will on Sunday, I promise), I did peek at just a few of them and loved what I saw. When I saw the beautiful tile that fellow CZT Cris Letourneau created, with Cruze in the round, I decided that's what I would try for this challenge. Here's what I came up with.
It's not quite as circular as I had hoped, but not too bad since I didn't use any guidelines. When it was finished, it reminded me of a Christmas ornament. That was not my intention, but I guess that's what happens after working on holiday cards for the last few weeks. 

I hope everyone had fun using Cruze for the challenge this week, and I can't wait to see the rest of the entries....Sunday. Off for some sleep now so I will be bright eyed and bushy tailed to make my fortune tomorrow!
