Happy Birthday


I'm not real happy with this picture, but it's the best I could come up with. 
The good news is, this was a VERY easy card to make. Super simple.

I used the print and cut feature for the Happy Birthday pieces. 
Everything else was die cut and paper pieced.

Hoppy Valentine's Day Scrapbook Layout

Hi, everyone! It feels so weird to not have a Design Team project to post today. Out of the 5 challenge blogs I run, 3 of them are moving to monthly. So much easier and frees up blog time for other things. 

I'm interested in joining other monthly challenge DTs, 
so if you know of anything, pass the info along!

Today I created a scrapbook page using some Miss Kate Cuttables files and the print and cut feature on my Silhouette Cameo. I've never cut out images this big as a print and cut. I must be crazy. LOL But it was so much faster. I also cut out a shadow layer to mat the images on. You wouldn't think a shadow for the cuts would make that big of a difference, but it really does to me. The hearts were leftover die cuts from another project.

Happy Banner


Last year I made a banner shortly before we decided to move back to Alaska. We've been here in Alaska since last spring, and my craft area has moved several times in this house. Most recently, I'm back to crafting in the loft. Which works well for me. Today I finally re-hung my HAPPY banner since our move back to Alaska. I love it!

Enjoy your weekend!
