I was playing around in my scraproom and came up with this cute little card. I love this hippo from the Birthday bash Cricut cart.

You can...I removed the placement lines for the number with my Gypsy. Then I again used my Gypsy to fit a chosen shape into the number space...perfect! I chose a frame from Elegant Edges...and stamped a sentiment inside...too cute. I love this cow...it's too cute...it's udders just hanging there... totally makes me crack up!

These are the Thank you cards that I made for my daughter's Grad party. They came together really fast. I started with the punny sentiment...then I browsed through my carts to find a cute sheep.

A Whole Latte love

I made this Thank you card for my neighbour Kathleen. She lent her old blackberry to my daughter for almost a year so that she could wait to get a new plan before she went away to University. This saved alot of $$$ and enabled us to not lock her into a plan until school. My city has it's own network for cells and landlines...this is great if you live here...but when you move...closer to a large city...ie Toronto...you can't use a phone purchased here...for down there. This = mucho long distance charges etc. Anyways...my daughter is down in London Ontario with her Dad to set up her phone, register for her classes...meet with guidance and then have a little pre-University shopping spree. Her Dad had to go down for business anyway. I decided to hang around here with my son and...play in my Scraproom. I came up with this card  for my neighbour as a Thank you. She is coffee driven...like most every adult...so I thought I'd get her a Tim Hortons gift card...and make her a coffee card. If you're not from Canada...Tim Horton's is the place to be for coffee.

Game Controller card

I made this card for my girlfriend's soon to be 16 year old son Dayton. Like most boys his age...he's video game driven. I used the Cricut cart Wrap it Up. This had to be the easiest card ever. The only problem was that the front oval was supposed to lift then you could write inside...but then the card wouldn't be able to stand...I hate that. I ended up making another base and top oval piece and adhering it to the top oval. Voila...a card that stands. I pop dotted the second oval control piece to give it a 3D effect.

• Bazzill-grey
• DCWV-Metallic stack-silver
• red yellow green blue and white cardstock scraps
• Fiskar-tag punch
• Making Memories eyelet
