GIFT BAGS

Circles cut from George at various sizes from .25" to 1.5"

I also made a little name banner to put across the front of the gift table, but I didn't get a picture of it. I will have to check to see if anyone else did. I will post it later if I can find one.

Whew .... time to clean up the craft room so I can start on my next projects!

Baby Girl Card

I saw this card being made last weekend on our PBS station on a show called Scrapbook Memories. They were using the Sizzix diecutting machine.




I decided that I could recreate this card using my Cricut Expression and my Gypsy. Below is my "version" of this card.



The card is from New Arrival.



The rattle was created by welding several different things together. I used Sugar & Spice cartridge to get a scalloped circle and the bow. The stem of the rattle is an "L" from Plantin SchoolBook. The ball on the end of the stem and the circle in the middle of the rattle is from from Accent Essentials.



Thanks for looking!
