Birthday Card for My Dear Daughter

My eldest becomes a teenager soon

where did the time go?

While crafting with fellow DT member

dare I ask to be the first to ink it? YES!

Thanks, Jen!

Coffee Collar Album

Project from GIBBS2
on the Cricut Message Board
One of the challenges was to create a

 Coffee Collar Album
I was paired with my younger sister!!!!

I decided to fill hers with colored images.

(We joke that I am the #1 colorer in our family :))

She is one of the most talented crafters I know and I

admire her work tremendously!

The images are:

Tildas

Sugar Nellies

Whiff of Joy

and Belles 'N Whistles

I used Copics and Twinkling H20s

I painted the coffee collars in Chocolate Acrylic Paint

and placed the sentiments and embellishments

under transparency paper.

My Bind-It-All made assembly easy!

Thanks for looking!
