16 and Licensed to Drive!

Sunday was my youngest sister's Sweet Sixteen birthday!  I still can't believe she's 16!  At the risk of sounding sentimental and embarassing her, I still remember when she was born.  I was in 7th grade and spent the entire day waiting for someone to bring a message to my class saying that my dad called.  I don't think I paid attention to a single thing any of my classes that day!

I wanted her birthday card to be special with lots of bright colors and sparkles.  I absolutely love the invite card on Wild Card.  It was the perfect start for a fun birthday card!  What do you think?

Get Well Poster

My hubby's grandpa is still recovering in a rehab facility after his surgery last week.  We've been trying to go every day to visit him... even for just a few minutes.  When we moved him into the facility on Thursday, I noticed the walls were pretty bare and very boring to look at.  So while my hubby played poker on Saturday night, I played with my Cricut and created this poster for his grandpa.  On Sunday, I added various family pictures to the rectangle mats.  The poster is now hanging in Grandpa's room and we've asked each family to sign one of the hearts during their visits.
