My First Word Book

Here is my first ever word book of my DD for my Sister, who lives interstate and does not see my DD all that often, thanks to JenC from the Cricut MB, I could not have done it without her.
My sister said that she loved it and had a cry when she opened it.

Supplies: Paper - Kaisercraft and misc supplies.

Happy crafting and have a great day.

Finally A Post

Wow, I can not believe it has been over a month since I posted anything on my blog - bad, slack girl.

Supplies: Paper - Kaisercraft and other misc supplies.

Happy crafting and have a great day.

Paper Popsicles Freebie Friday Image - Oliver

This is my 2nd card made with the Freebie Friday Image - Oliver from Paper Popsicles.
I made him into a shaped card, I think I should have gave him a bit of a footing on the bottom, due to him having a bit of a lean when I stand him up by himself, but I will know for next time.

Thank you for looking and happy crafting.
