Happy Birthday Banner

I finally got to play with my cricut and I forgot how much I loved it! I had lots of fun making this banner for a new friend :) I wanted to add a little pizzazz so I embossed the label shapes. I can't wait for the new year and to play some more with my cricut!!!

USMC Cards

It's been busy here, our new little furbaby gets most of my time and love! He is growing up so fast! I have always had a passion for paper crafts and I love making gifts and sharing my passion. I have recently had alot of people asking me to make them cards, banners and tags. So I have decided to make a small business out of my love for crafts! I am so excited to get things started and everyone has been so supportive and thrilled with my new goal! Here is my first custom order, two marine cards for a marine retiring and his wife. I had lots of fun getting back into the art room and making the cards.

Cards

On Wednesday I had some free time to get into my scrappy room and have a mini virtual crop with some of the gals over at two peas in a bucket, seriously love that place! I really need to work on printing some photos today so I can do more layouts, after the move I still have no idea where the preprinted photos went (booo!). So I worked on some cards and here they are :) I came across this very cool card challenge blog called CAS-ual Fridays. Last week's post inspired me to create the trio birthday cards!

close ups, I made these with the scraps from the previous baby book I made.
