Easter Card #2

I found this card HERE. Isn't it adorable?

I couldn't find a card base like this on a cartridge, so I created one on my Gypsy using Cricut Craft Room Basics (yes, I am still using my Gypsy. I still haven't had time to contact Cricut Customer Service to get everything transferred).

Recipe:
A2 card (made using Cricut Craft Room Basics)
Rabbit - Create a Critter @ 3.5"
Easter Basket - Create a Critter @ 1"
Carrots - Create a Critter @ 3/4"
Grass - Everyday Paper Dolls @ 3.5" x 6"
Mat - Art Philosophy @ 3.35" x 4.75"

Welcome Spring!

My Grandmother and I always had a contest as to who saw the first Robin in the Spring. Of course, Grandma always won!!! Grandma has been gone for 10 years now, and every year when I see the first Robin I think of Grandma and I wish I could call and tell her. So, this card is a sort of tribute to my Grandmother.

Happy John Deere Birthday

My nephew is turning 3. It is hard to believe ... it seems like yesterday that he was born! I love him so much, he is so much like his Dad!! Anyway, he is having a JOHN DEERE party at the bowling alley, it should be fun!

Above is the front (on the right) and back (on the left) of the card. I thought it he would think it was cool to be able to open it all the way up and have a tractor pulling a wagon.
