Two for Tuesday - Part II

Welcome back for Part II of Two for Tuesday - Crazy for Cricut is having a bookmark challenge and I'm in "challenge" mode. "Summer reading. Make a bookmark to show how you save your place in your favorite family book!" were the recipe to follow. With this wealth of knowledge, I remember reading to my daughter when she was younger - ok, she's 31 now and mother of my adorable 5-month old granddaughter, Lily, but I can still remember reading to her "Good Night Moon". After finishing reading the book, she would then get out of bed and tell everything in her room good night. Wonderful fond memories. Being armed with this, I made a bookmark to give to Lily for her mom to read this book to her also as family tradition.

Recipe for Bookmark:
Tag cut with George Cartridge cut at 5 inches with black sparkly paper
Moon (cut at 2.75 inches) and Star (cut at 1.75 inches) cut with Create a Critter and scrap paper
Moon and Star attached with puff dots
Purple and Aqua ribbon attached
Used White Gel pain to write the words from one of the pages

Happy reading!

Don't forget to add Goodnight Moon to your child/grandchild's reading list!

God Bless
Hugs and Love,

Ember's 2nd Birthday Card

We went to Ember's, a 2 year old's, birthday party on Friday and wanted to incorporate several of my cartridges because I couldn't decide upon just one. Abby Gadaby is from Sesame Street Friends (the fairy in training) was cut at 6.25 with added bling of rhinestones for her wand. The card was cut with A Child's Year cartridge (of course one of my fav's!) using Sweet Treats paper.

Check out Abby's birthday crown which is cut from Once Upon a Princess -- these crowns are great as they have numbers which are cut inside. Of course, I used the number "2" for Ember's 2nd birthday with the added bling of rhinestones to decorate the tips of the crown! These are perfect colors for a little 2 year old princess of pink and purple!

The inside of the card I used Once Upon a Princess as it has an adorable phrase of Magical which was cut at 2.50, George cartridge has a great Birthday Blessings phrase also cut at 2.50 and ember cut using the Alphabet which is built into the E2.

I absolutely love my Xyron with the phrases and letters for the card with less mess plus while I'm cutting I insert the little pieces and this way when I am finished cutting, I have all my little pieces in one place glued and ready to go to finish!

Hugs and love,

Lynne
