My birthday card from Brian

Hi Everyone,
I was so excited to post yesterday because I wanted to tell you everything I got for my birthday but also I wanted to show you the card Brian had made for me. I guess I was a tad too excited about the gifts because I didn't realize until this morning when I was checking my comments that I never even mentioned the card and that was the best part lol. Well, here it is in all of it's Cricut glory...a truly man made card!

And this was my favourite part :)

BBTB2 Challenge

Hello Crafters,
What a productive weekend this feels like. I think it may be because my wonderful fiance cleaned all the floors and did some of the laundry while I was out shopping with a friend yesterday. And no you can't borrow him :) Because all that was done it means I have had a great deal more time then usual this weekend to play in my craft room.

The challenge over on Bitten by the Bug Blog is to make something using the fishing cut from A child's Year. I don;t own this cartridge but can always use more masculine cards in my stash. So I made one using the fishing cut from the Going Places cartridge.
Hope your weekend is going as great as mine!
Tara
