Happy Birthday Mom! You are the BEST!

Happy Birthday to the BEST Mom in the world! I made her this card last night so I could stop by after work and give it to her. I was up until 1:00 am.....5:30 sure came fast this morning! Our family isn't getting together until Sunday, but I wanted to put a smile on her beautiful face....on her actual birthday! :-) I threw a few bingo scratch tickets inside so she could scratch them during half time....at the real Bingo game...LOL Mom, you ROCK! I am so grateful that you are part of my life! I love you!

P.S. Mom, look in the background of the top picture.....The ant holding the watermelon! Just for you! Gals....the ant in the background she got from her BFF, Sharon. :-)

My Sunshine Two Page Layout!

I made this two page layout over the weekend. I am going to add some of hubby's photos. I love how it turned out.

I used Cindy Loo, Live Simply and April Showers cartridges. Finally starting to get the hang of the Cricut! I only got it at Christmas time! Just not enough hours in the day! :-)

Below is the bird house. I like the buttons along the top and the "Made for each other" charm!

These are the little bushes I added. The flowers are die cuts. Oh, and I got to use my I-ROCK! Love that thing!

The dragon fly I stamped and colored by hand. Again, used my I-ROCK!

The "Sunshine" was cut from April Showers. Notice the "i" has a heart on top! The "My" is stamped on canvas.

The bird is cut from Cindy Loo. I love the envelope with the tags! It's going to be hard to choose only 10!

I am adding my layout to the following challenges this week!

Diva's By Design
Simon Says Stamp
Stampavie & Royalty

Oh, and Fantabulous Cricut Challenge
