Lots of projects to post

I have been so slammed busy that I haven't been posting about any of the projects I've done so I'll be trying to catch up in the next few weeks.

These are cupcake toppers I did for my granddaughter's 5th birthday.  I used Create A Friend for the tutu (I had to hand trim the waist for the tutu to fit right) and some glitter paper scraps I had left over from the castle I made her for her 3rd birthday party  I cut the front of the tutu and then cut images on "flip" to hide the sticks that went into the cupcakes.   I followed these instructions: http://www.thatcutelittlecake.com/2012/05/ballerina-party-tutu-cupcake-topper.html

And here's the thank you cards I made for her to send out.  The ballerina is again from Create A friend. I ran the hair through the Divine Swirls embossing folder, cut the tutu in white and green--cut the green one into three pieces and adhered to the back of the white one, moving the green pieces around so that they layered the sleeves and bottom of the tutu.  I put her on action wobbles so that she would wiggle.  I used different Cricut phrases for the outside and inside of the card.  Please excuse the shadow across the inside of the card as my camera apparently has a scratch on the lens.  Oh and this was my first project using the new Cricut Explore...man I love that machine!
