Seasoned With Love Salt & Pepper Shaker Holder

 



I saw this cute set of salt and pepper shakers in their adorable holder and knew I wanted to make something with my Cricut for it.  Since it's such a small set, I used a smaller font.  Not easy to pick off the excess vinyl but I do like how it turned out.

With Heartfelt Sympathy cards

 



Unfortunately there's been way too many sympathy cards going out these days.  Taylored Expressions created a beautiful set of flowers to use to create the cards with.  I originally planned on a different dark green background and it was that way for a week.  I gently removed the flowers and opted for the Lawn Fawn Speckles background.

Spring Is In The Air card

Mini Gnomes




In my house, Gnomes are out all year long.  I have Christmas, winter, cat, sports and even Easter bunny gnomes.  These sweet Gnomes stand 2" high and come in lots of colors.  I did drag my small Christmas tree up to take their picture because else they looked like they were in a line up.  

I used mini fake furry pompoms, some cute little caps (it is winter afterall) and small wood plugs.

Bear Hugs card

 




I think everyone needs hugs and what better way to send some while waiting to do so in person.  This sweet set is from My Favorite Things.  I decided it was time to use one of my peek-a-boo dies.  I placed the colored paper on top of my card stock and diecut through both at the same time.

A Good Friend card

 



Isn't this gerbil just too cute?  Some people call him a mouse but I think he's too big for that and not big enough for a hamster.  This card started as a St Patrick's Day card but I think it's really more of a friendship card.
