ANOTHER SCHOOL YEAR COMES TO AN END!!!

Hi Everyone...Happy Memorial Day!!!
I hope everyone is having a great day celebrating with loved ones!

I have been making cards for my youngest at the end of each school year since he's been at FUMA (Fork Union Military Academy). It's just my way of showing him how proud I am of all that he has accomplished that year. He's been there 3 years now & he has done so well, he has such a bright future to look forward to!!! .

He truly loves all the cards I make whether they are for him or not, he thinks I should make cards for Hallmark, lol..such a sweetie, that one!!! Anyway, the card I made for him last year was his favorite, so I wasn't sure if I would be able to top it, I kept trying to come up with different ideas, but really had a hard time.  I searched for some inspiration on some blogs that I follow AND when I found this card, I knew I had to make it, so I'm sorry Miss Emma, but I have totally cardlifted this from you!!! You can check out her ADORABLE card here, this is when she was a guest designer for EveryDayCricut, she is just amazing, I totally adore her projects!!!

My card isn't anywhere near as cute as Miss Emma's, but I am still happy with how it turned out and even better Brandon really liked it!!! I still think the one from last year will always be his favorite, but that ok! :D

So, again, just so everyone knows this card was completely & totally cardlifted from Miss Emma at Creative time for me!!!

The Bug Magazine...."Cutie Pie"

Hi Everyone!

The highly anticipated Bug Magazine has finally come out with their first addition and this little "cutie" is on page 22!!! I couldn't believe it when I got the news, I was sooo excited!!!  I've never had any of my projects published before, this might be my claim to fame ...LOL!!!

Have to say, Gilby was NOT with me on this one!  In order for me to get the placement of the heart on the little bottom just right, I needed his help.  Can you believe that little punk (I call him punky) wouldn't try it on for me?!?!!!  I had to get the help of one of my teddy bears (yes, I have several teddy bears)...LOL!!!

Please let me know what you think, I hope you like it as much as I do!!!



Supplies:
Carts-Cuttin' Up ("Cutie"), Plantin School Book (Hearts), From my Kitchen (Pie)
