Caardvarks & Creative Cuts and More

I couldn't be happier then to have the two design teams that I am on hook up for a challenge! Creative Cuts and More is sponsoring Caardvark's bridal & baby showers themed challenge.
Here are two of my creations, you can see the rest as well as my design team mates from both groups, Caardvarks and Creative Cuts and More over at the Caardvarks blog. Then hop on over to the Caardvarks Flickr gallery for a ton of other fantastic ideas!!


The baby shoes, which are my favorite die cut and then this cute diaper card. The diaper card that I made here was altered a bit. I cut all of the flaps off of the front except the left sided one. Then I adhered them all together, so that it could open up like a regular card instead of a pocket type of card, which I made here.

Have fun looking at all of the other fabulous creations made by all of my friends and DT team mates.

Thanks for stopping by!

Just had to share and brag a little...

My little brother, Dean well he isn't really little...he is 31 years old and over 6' tall, made these for the 4th of July. Aren't they cute, even the inside is red white and blue cake!! I am bummed that I didn't get to try one. Unfortunately for me Dean lives in California and I am in Colorado, so he sent me these pictures.
WOW, what a guy...a Kung Fu Master and he bakes. You should try the cheesecakes he makes...yummy! He is still single ladies! LOL

Thanks for letting me brag a little...
Big hugs to my little brother Dean. Mom and I are proud of you and we miss you!
