Birthday Girl

My goal this year is to use my Cricut machine more often on my pages. I've used it on the last eight layouts that I will be posting. YEAH!

Fabulous Find

I created this layout from a design made by Nichol Magouirk at Two Peas in a Bucket . She made her die cuts from Silhouette die cutting machine and I made mine by using my Cricut Expression with Sure Cut's A Lot Program and the Graphically Speaking cartridge. I love, love this cartridge.

Info on Layout:
Everyone tells my daughter that she should be a model. She really looks like one in this new European style jacket she bought at TJ MAXX.
