One Cute Critter B-day Card . . .

Hey all!  Hope you're having a great day! 

My niece celebrated her 1st birthday on Sunday and I created this card for her.  Do you see that cute critter, well, the bear?  My sweet friend Brenda cut some out for me using her Create A Critter cartridge.  I'm glad she mailed me some because I was scrambling to make a card at the last minute and I pulled out one of these cuties.  Thanks Bren!  You are a lifesaver!

I finally got my new Spellbinders dies and couldn't wait to use them!  The background was embossed with Sizzix Flowers embossing folder and cut with the Labels Nineteen die.  The sentiment is from Lili of the Valley and propped on my new Floral Doily Motifs die.  I'm luvn these new dies!

That's it for me today, but be sure to come back!  Boy, this week is a jam packed week and I'm SOOOOO EXCITED TO SHARE WHAT'S BEEN HAPPENING BEHIND THE SCENES!  Sorry for the yelling, but I can't contain my excitement!  :)
