Happy 1st Birthday Nolan & Colvin!
Hi Everyone! Well my sweet Valentine (husband) surprised with a Cricut Expression for Valentines Day! Oh my gosh, I did not know what I was missing out on! I have been collecting all the different die cut systems such as Sizzix, Cuttlebug, Spellbinders, Quickutz and Bosskut for several years now and thought there was no way I would ever need another system! This Cricut Expression sure has opened a whole new world for me! My girlfriend's twin boys turned one year old this month, so I had a perfect opportunity to put my Cricut to work! I wanted to make them each their own unique card so this is what I created! I hope you like them both! Until next time...

Spring Thoughts! 4

Spring Fling!
Hi everyone! I am trying something new with the way I format posts. Please feel free to leave a comment and let me know if you have any thoughts to share! It is very sunny and warm (70 degrees or so) here in Phoenix today, so I had spring colors on my mind once again. The color combination in this card is very cheerful and can be used for various occasions. Simply changing the stamped image in the large flower embellishment with a "Welcome Baby" stamp, I used it to accompany a baby girl's shower gift. I hope you like it. Until next time...
