Last Christmas: A Regifting Tale

Happy Birthday Susan!

Today is Susan's birthday! So in her honor I, her sister Nancy, made her some birthday cards using the fantastic ctmh cricut  artfully sent and some dream pop pare. I also used the glitter paper for extra sparkle!

Happy Birthday Susan! I love you!

Fun with Picture My Life

I made some greeting cards using the smaller 3"x4" Picture My Life cards in the Babycakes kit.. I also used the CTMH corner rounder because it is exactly the same radius as the Picture My Life Cards. I used my sewing machine for some stitching and I used liquid glass to glue the Baker's Twine bows. Done!
