Cards for Pay It Forward





So... Mandy my friend... I'm making you cards for the Pay It Forward Challengs. Here are three that I made today, and I'm going to make more, but I thought I'd give you a little sneek peek. I know that you can make your own cards that are super cute, but I hope you'll be able to use them and enjoy them.

Michael gave me a Cricut machine for my birthday, and I used it for the lettering in the red card, and it was so quick and easy. I just love it, and I can't wait to use it a lot more. There are so many things people use that Cricut for... If any of you have one and have any great tips or tricks, I'd love for you to share.

Peg and Max gave me the super cute Owl Together Now stamp set from Stampin Up for my birthday, and it's my current favorite. Those little owls are just so cute. And I didn't come up with the idea for that card on my own... I rarely come up with my own ideas. I copied it from a talented stamper who posted it on a website called splitcoaststampers.com... there are some seriously talented people out there. I posted these in my gallery on splitcoast... if anyone is interested in more information about the supplies I used or where the ideas for the layouts came from, you can visit my gallery over there.

I also thought I better post a picture of my cute boys since I haven't forever. They watch a movie together in Logan's room almost every night before bedtime... Logan is such an awesome big brother... Ty just loves him to death. Tonight, Logan called me into the room and asked if they could have a drink. They love chocolate milk while they watch a movie in bed... I know, I know it's horrible for their teeth and I don't let them have it every night... I promise... anyway, Ty says, "Chocate, Ty and Bo?" He calls Logan bro... but it comes out sounding like boe. Just too stinkin' cute. How could I say no to that?
