Happy Easter

This year I didn't go wild on the Easter Candy for the boys, had them pick what they wanted and threw in a Movie Gift card.  Thought that was better anyway. The baskets and gift card were a joint give to share with there girlfriends too. 

I used My Creative Time's gift card holder Die and Create a Critter Cricut Cartridge to decorate the outside.

And here are our real Easter Bunnies,  These belong to my Son and his Girlfriend and she decided to dress them up for a photo shoot.  They didn't want to cooperate but the pictures still came out cute.

Better together, Easel Card

This card is my very first Easel Card.  Not sure I really like the way it turned out, but it's still very cute.  I made this card for my Niece that is turning 10 (already turned 10, just a little late with my card).  I love to use my Image but for a while had a hard time getting it to line up correctly.  I found instructions on the message board but found them a bit confusing.  But I did find where you reset the factory settings and that worked perfectly.

A Koi Thanks

My husband ask me to make some Thank You cards for him to give out to people who helped support him over the last few months.  This is the first time I have used the Art Nouveau Cartridge and I just love it.  The Koi is so beautiful as well as all the other cuts.  I used distress inks to ink the edges of the fish using the best colors to match the cardstock.
