I "Herd" It's Your Birthday

Hi all, I have decided to enter some challenges to see how I do. This card was created for two challenges. The first challenge is over at the Fantabulous Cricut Challenge, www.fantabulouscricut.blogspot.ca, and the challenge is Set the Scene. I think this cute farm scene is perfect for this challenge and I used five Cricut Cartridges to create it. The second challenge is over at Use it Tuesday, www.useittuesday.blogspot.ca, and the challenge is Birthdays. Also, with this challenge you are to use items that have been in your stash for awhile. The items I used in my stash were the heart rhinestones (four years old at least), stickles (I have had them forever and have just started to use them) and all the paper. I hope you enjoy my creation and feel free to let me know what you think.

Just a Note

Hi all, I wanted to share a project with you that I made using a cricut craft room freebie. This music note and saying were offered in a music layout a couple of months ago. I made five sets, each a different color and with coordinating homemade envelopes. I am making gift boxes for them as well and will share them in a future post.  I think they would be perfect for a music teacher!! I hope you enjoy them and find inspiration through them.
