Happy Birthday Baby Girl!

I made this from Birthday bash and used the cricut craft room to make it. It took a little longer than it would have with my gypsy but I wanted to give it a try. It was cut at 4", the paper is from American Crafts, the ribbon is Stampin up.

I can't believe that my baby is sixteen today! I know this is crazy and my kids will all laugh at me, but I am tearing up as I post this. We adopted this sweet little girl when she was 8 months old. This photo is after we had had her a month and fattened her up some. She is beautiful inside and out. Every single day I give thanks for her and the gift of being her mother.

Happy Sweet Sixteen Lexi! I love you!

MAG Challenge #53

It's that time again! Another weekly challenge from MAG. This weeks challenge is to use the Sweet Treats cartridge page 70. I cut my box and layers at 3.5" the tag at 1.5" and 1.25". The paper was printed on my imagine from the Hopscotch cartridge. The ribbon is Martha Stewart and the handle is just a piece of wire.

Squirrel Card

This was such an easy quick card to make. The sentiment is from the computer. All the edges are inked and the squirrel is popped up.

New Toy!

It's official I have a new bug! My family thinks I'm crazy, maybe I am just a little. I got the E2 Anniversary edition, I haven't played with it much yet, but I think I will love it. The cartridges it comes pre-loaded with are awesome!

Mini Album

This little album is 6x6 and made completely with George and Basic Shapes cartridge or had cut, like the strips. It is not chip board it is just the paper glued together.
