Finally...some cards!!

 
This is a birthday card I made for a friend of Lexi's...I used my Cricut Life's a Beach Cartridge, which I love. Finally got to play with my birthday presents.

 
Lexi made this card for me...all by herself. I woke up one afternoon and there it was, sitting on my bedside table. I had an opportunity to take a temporary full time day position...which would be 7am-3pm...more human hours. However...life is so busy here at home that full time just wasn't going to work out. I was very disappointed, as the night shift is really taking its toll on me. Anyway...whining aside...Lexi made this to cheer me up. Which it did, both for her thoughtfulness and her budding talent at cardmaking. Don't you think its awesome?!

 
This is the birthday party invitation for Lexi's birthday. She wanted cupcakes, so cupcakes it is...now I have to practise making those really pretty and fancifully decorated cupcakes! Not sure how well that is going to go.

 
And last, but not least, the Thanksgiving invitations for this year. I have to make 20 of these every year, so I start early, first deciding what kind of invitation I'll make, and then making them. I will, of course, try to avoid the glue disaster you see here. Good thing this is only the "prototype".

Thanks so much for looking. Shirley.
