LIFE is Short...

When I happened upon the "Life Is Short" quote, I simply had to use it on one of my birthday cards... Speaking of which, I've completed ALL of my January birthday cards. I really didn't have too many January birthdays, so maybe I'll get a jump start on my February cards... Nah... Too much like the right thing to do... I'll procrastinate... It's so me!!!

LOVE & Happiness...Wrapped in a Hug...

I love this photo of my friend and her daughter! It's a wonderful visual of the love that they share... I like the photo so much that I just had to use it in my latest challenge. The challenge was to create a 12 X 12 layout utilizing at least two patterned papers, a button, flower, ribbon, and the teddy bear from the Cricut DoodleCharms cartridge. Boy, it's been a long time since I created a layout... I'm a little rusty, but I met the challenge criteria and I've contributed a page for JuliAna's scrapbook... Two birds/one stone... On to the next challenge...

Per YOUR Request...

Coming up w/ the style for this card was easy because the recipient put in their request a long time ago... Not a problem... It was pretty cool not having to think about it... Hope it meets expectations...

And So the Cycle REPEATS....

My goal for 2007 was to make all of my birthday cards... I accomplished my goal and I'm proud, but now what???? I certainly can't default to purchasing bday cards again... And so the cylce repeats... Here's bday card #1 for 2008...

This is a basic card w/ scallops... I love scalloped paper... And I made the scallops myself thanks to the Cricut Design Studio software... No need to purchase scalloped paper again... I can now have it on demand - in any color!

Enjoy!
