1st Challenge Submission of the day!!

I've been working on a project lately...a layout for my Fantabulous Cricut Challenge Blog design team assignment for next week...and I haven't been doing much else, at least in crafty terms. But, let me tell you...I LOVE THIS LAYOUT! I am soooo excited about it!! So, please, please...come back and visit on Monday when that post will go up! I'm very proud of it...and I'm not a layout girl...so please come back and encourage me...I love it so much that I think I'll be designing MORE layouts!! Oh, the possibilities!!
Anyway, I finally finished that layout this morning, and had some extra time on this lovely day off from work...so I whipped up a couple of quick cards to fulfill some challenges.

I am submitting this card in the following challenges:

Quick and Simple birthday cards...

Here's a few birthday cards that I made for some of my husband's family...he has a large family and we always get together once a month to celebrate together, honoring those who have a birthday in that month. Lots of food and fun! Thanks for looking!

Matryoshka Nesting Dolls!!!

I made the super cute Matryoshka Dolls from the Cricut cartridge, Paisley, into nesting boxes that will go on a shelf in my daughter's room. I have decorated her room completely in cuts and crafts inspired by the Paisley cartridge, and it has turned out better than I could picture in my head!! I have an earlier post that shows the details of that...go ahead and check it out!

Valentine Treat Bags

As my daughter gets older, the holidays are definitely more enjoyable. I stayed up until midnight last night, finishing up these Treat Bags for her daycare friends. I had fun making them, but more importantly, she is excited to give them out today!! I used the Paisley Cricut Cartridge for the bee, Peachy Keen Stamps for the faces, and Cuttin' Up Cricut Cartridge for the font....welding it with my Cricut Design Studio. It's somewhat hard to read the font, but it's "Bee Mine".....(I know, I know! I'm terribly witty! ) Enjoy!
