Mother's Day Ewe and Sprout is Two

Hello all and Happy Thursday!  Today at Catch the Bug is Oldie But Goodie day where we feature older but still much loved stamps.  I'm sharing a card made for the best mom in the world: Mine!

My image is Happy Mother's Day to Ewe from Bugaboo Stamps.  I love the Ewe collection.  I kept it simple, and used the sentiment that came with the stamp.

Here's a side view just to sport the circle coming off the card a bit.

Speaking of Moms, my Sprout has made it to year TWO!  This child has made me cry, made me want to try illegal drugs, has taken us to the emergency room, has made her sister bleed....but I wouldn't trade her for the world (that's what I say now anyway!).

I used the freezer paper technique for her shirt.  I used Cricut Cart Mickey Font at 6 inches for the number.  So happy birthday to my Baby!  Thank you so much for stopping by and have a wonderful Thursday!

Love Banner

Hello all and Happy Tuesday!  I hope you all had a wonderful weekend.  I've never been big on Valentine's Day, but with two girls, I can't help but to decorate and do things for my girls.  I've seen these banners all over the web and I tell myself "I want to make one" and never do.  Well, this year I did it!!
I used Cricut Celebrations for the banner at 5", George hearts at 1 3/4", and Mickey Font at 1 3/4".  Using Beanie as my inspiration, I even went and got fine glitter for the letters.

I hate glitter, but she loved it.  Now, I don't know if there's a technique to these banners, but I'll tell ya, I used a LOT of glue.  But it'll never come apart!  So that is my share for today.  I thank you for stopping by and hope you have a wonderful day!

This meets the following challenges:

• All Crafts Challenge - Anything crafty
• Bitten By the Bug - Valentine with Cricut Cut Heart
• Crafting From the Heart - Anything Goes/Use Red
• Free Pretty Things For You - Link Party

Attitude Car with Bugaboo Stamps
