Ok on to some shares... I needed 2 birthday cards last week.. 1 for a girl.. 1 for a boy.. so I came up with these 2.. similar in LO... but still different.. Used my PTI dies (tag, star, and numbers).. LOVE them... and embossing folders!! (LOVE them too! HA HA!) added sentiments, ribbons, buttons, and a glittery star I made and they were DONE! :)

Here they are .. I am guessing you can figure out which is the girl version.. and which is the boy version!! :)

LOL!! ) I am behind on so many things so I am going to make this fast!!! and I PROMISE I am going to catch up on all my blog visits this weekend!! :)

Lets get to the shares! First up a little thank you card I whipped up.. I just ADORE that snowflake from accent essentials cricut cart... sigh....You cant see but IRL I sprayed it with glimmer mist to give it some shimmer!! :)

Next up....my friend Diane shared a card using this sketch from cardabilities.. I LOVED it.. so I used it too... flipped it, and made it my own for a birthday card!
My Take- I needed a GUY card..
