Buggy Apple

This is a back to school project.  I am a teacher so when I think of school, I think of seeing my friends again and how we help each other out.  

When I graduated my mother in law gave me a tape holder with a worm sticking out of an apple! Inspiration central!! I made my card and was ready to post it yesterday, but I forgot my camera at work so I couldn't :( Then today I had it all ready just to find out that blogger was down:( I was so happy to finally be able to post it! 

I am entering this card into the following challenges:
PKS Let's Face it Friday- Shaped Cards
Getting Cricky- Positive Thoughts
Die Cuttin' Divas- #27 Garden Challenge
Challenge 72-Let's Get Buggy at Fantabulous Cricut
Celebrate the Occasion- Back to School
All Sorts Challenge Week 115-Red Card
Crafty Catz #94- Back to School
Scrapbookaholicby Abby- Back to School
Here is my card:

This helpful little worm will come out whenever you need help:) 

OMG! Look at this cute wormy face! I added glossy accents to her eyes and they look all juicy!

Here is a side view.  I faux stitched it all around, embossed the background with a polka dot folder and heat embossed the sentiment. 

I finished it up by adding a twine bow and some pop dots for dimension.
Recipe:
Create a Critter: Apple, worm
Wild Card: Scalloped card base
Cricut Classic Font: Circle
My Creative Time: Sentiment-My Favorite Sayings
Peachy Keen Stamps: Worm Face- Large Set
Twinery: Maraschino 

Thank you for visiting!

    I love the card. It's so cute. Is that from the critter set? If so, I can't wait! I'm getting my order in sometime this week. I also ordered more cricut mats and the Flower Shoppe cartridge. I was inspired by your video and post.

    That's so crazy how many challenges you were able to enter it into. There are a lot of back to school challenges, which are perfect for us teachers!!!

    Your card is amazing! I love this worm's facial expression. Of course, I do not want to find a critter in my apple when I take a bite. : ) Thank you for joining us at Die Cuttin' Divas this week. Hope you will be back again.

    This is ABSOLUTELY adorable. I had honestly thought of doing the same little worm coming out of a whole in that same Create-a-Critter apple. I still may have to do it sometime because it is just TOO flippin' ADORABLE! Beautiful job! Hugs- Glora
