A Grumpy sort of Birthday

Hello! A quick post to share a birthday card that I made for my brother in law.  I am not sure if he really likes this dwarf at all.  His wife is a cast member at Disneyland and seems to collect shirts with Grumpy on the front for him..
so I took that idea and made this card.

The Owl Post

We have been having Harry Potter marathons this summer... I bet a lot of families have been doing the same.  This cute owl is from the retired cricut cartridge Happily Ever After.  I am liking this idea as you can send your personal "owl post message" with a sentiment stamp and tuck goodies inside the pillow box.  (No howlers, please.)  This is my entry in My Creative Time's Throwback Thursday Challenge.  The challenge is to use a retired cricut cartridge, join the fun!

Cricut Circle Weekly Challenge # 8

This weeks challenge was to follow their sketch provided with a vintage theme using 3 vintage elements and at least 2 cuts.  I love vintage and shabby chic and made this design to hang in my sewing room.  Now I need to find a frame AND a sewing room!  (Aww, someday.)  My Mom taught me to sew and I used buttons from her button stash for this project.  It was a great treat as a kid to sort through mom's button box.
