Hello everyone! Today is my turn to share over at SHE'S A SASSY LADY  and I am sharing some fun party decorations that I and our daughter made for our grandson Truman's 2nd birthday!  First of all, here is a picture of our precious boy - He makes us so very happy! Truman's party theme was The Lorax so all the decorations were bright and colorful!  My daughter had everyone sign inside the front and back covers of this book as a memento! Such a great idea! I used a flower shadow from the Bloom cartridge to look like a truffula tree for the banner. The font was from Chalkboard Fonts. The clouds are from the April Showers cartridge.  This was how it looked all together! Close up of the cake my daughter made! Cotton candy made the truffle trees! Cute truffula tree cupcakes! My daughter made these with paper pom poms and attached them to large wood skewers to look like truffula trees! I think they are so cute!...

Hello everyone! I'm here to share a simple little card with you. I'm also sharing this over at SHE'S A SASSY LADY  so, if you get a chance, stop over there to see all the crafty goodness that goes on there everyday!!  A friend asked if I could make a card for her to give with a hand-knitted afghan that she was giving to a friend and wanted a verse from Psalm 139 inside because it seemed fitting since she knit the afghan! :-) I decided to give my Cricut Gel pens a try to just write the verse instead of handwriting it or cutting it out.  I designed everything in the Cricut Craft Room, which, by the way, is great for typing text when you want to use the markers or gel pens. "Welcome Little One" was cut at 4.5" from Tags, Bags, Boxes and More 2. For the phrase I used the font from Extreme Fonts and sized it at .5".  I had to make this card kind of quick so I wasn't really happy with my font choice but it worked for my first try. I love ...
