Next up, I was lucky enough to have gotten my hands on another new Provo Cartridge that will be coming out soon called A CHILD'S YEARS....this shape cartridge is a MUST HAVE.....I fell in love with the BICYCLE on the cartridge.....decided to do a girl card and a boy card.....fun fun fun....will be sharing more SNEAK PEEKS later this week from this cartridge....

See that little HAPPY BIRTHDAY TAG, well it is from a new set of stamps over at The Cutting Cafe....it is an awesome set with 40 different fonts of happy birthday..check it out here.
I also used another Cutting Cafe stamp on this card...the circle word is from the All Occasion Circle word set here.
Last but surly not least is my take on the new challenge going on over at the BBTB, the challenge was to use the HOUSE cut from the WILD CARD CARTRIDGE.....fun fun fun....Granted there probably aren't any houses in the world with these colors, but I couldn't resist using some of the KC COMPANY paper.....hugs

THINKING OF YOU..NEIGHBOR GIFTS AND HAPPY BIRTHDAY

Hello all, I have a few things to share today....First off is my little plum gifts for a few of my neighbors....do you ever get idea's about creating a card or some type of gift wrap for a special someone and then just say forget it because it would take way to long to do....I know I do, I often feel like I have to add A MILLION bells and whistles to all of my projects and then I don't want to wrap up something because of all the work involved....well this summer and hopefully it will be a trend for me...I have decided to take the time and decorate little special gifts and send out special cards to family/friends and not worry about adding all the BELLS AND WHISTLES...it is the thought that counts...isn't it.....it is funny, i can go into a really nice card shop that features some cards that are so simple with white backgrounds and maybe just a cute little bug in the corner and think they are the cutest, but when I get home, i feel i need to add all kinds of stuff on my cards..ANYHOO....yesterday Benjamin and I decided to pick a few plums from our tree....my Goodness God blessed us with an over abundant of plums this year...so I decided to give a few to some of my neighbors...I also told my next door neighbor that all the branches hanging on his side with plums of them are his....(smile)...anyways..I think the bags came out kind of cute..I didn't even add any of my famous little dot doodles or sewing...wow felt good...I just used that FAMOUS cut that I love so much from the UNITED WE STAND (STAND AND SALUTE) NEW CRICUT CARTRIDGES...(don't forget to check out this link for an awesome giveaway from cricut).......I then used the flower from the SIMPLY SWEET cart...this flower reminds me so much of the flower on the GEORGE cartridge......anyhoo, i just used brown paper bags and added the frames and flowers and bow...then I topped off each package with a cute little THINKING OF YOU circle stamp from the CUTTING CAFE...you can view that set here...
I hope they like the plums...we are going to deliver them in a few minutes....



Next is my assignment for Pazzles....isn't this duck the cutest..I have used it before and love it so much...it comes from a cd called PAPER PIECING ANIMALS...so all you pazzles owners can visit this site to purchase this cd...well that's it for now
