Caroline's Card


I made this card for my good friend Caroline. She also happens to be a teacher...and a super Calculus tutor. She has been tutoring my son in math for a while...this last stint in Calculus. My son adores her. This card is a little thank you for all she's done. She really is the best...so the sentiment couldn't be any more perfect. I used a second apple on the inside of the card as a pocket for a gift card. She's also a scrapbooker and card maker. Thanks for looking...Lee-Ann :)

Cupcake card-My Creative Time die

I finally used the My Creative time Die that I won on one of their blog hops. It cut like butter. This turned out really cute...and no Cricut to be seen...gasp! Not the best pic...it was dreary outside when I took this pic. I also noticed that the border on my inside pic was loose...I fixed it...but am too lazy to retake the pic.  Thanks for dropping by...Lee-Ann :)
