You've Heard of Christmas in July...

But how about the 4th of July in December? Funny twist, I know. Let's just say I am a little late posting my Fourth of July cards. Anyway... nothing wrong with spreading some patriotic spirit in the middle of winter! Enjoy!

Dreaming of Cupcakes

All the dieters of the world probably spend their days dreaming of cupcakes and other sweet treats. I know I do! I couldn't think of a more perfect way to say Happy Birthday than to let someone know its okay to indulge on their special day and give in to temptation! Life is all about enjoyment, right?

We're Off to See the Wizard...

Being from Kansas, I can't help but love the Wizard of Oz, so when Riley and Company came out with their Wizard of Oz Riley Moose stamps, I just had to have them! My first Riley in Oz project was a photo tray I made for my friend's birthday. Her daughter is currently in a theater production of the Wizard of Oz, so it was a perfect and very timely gift.

As you can see I used all of the main characters and threw in a few extra surprises. As mentioned above, all stamped images and sayings are from the Riley in Oz collection from Riley and Company. All images were colored with Copic Markers and have a touch of Stickles glitter. I left a few of the slots blank so that my friend can add pictures of her daughter in costume.

A closer look...

The red slippers are my FAVORITE! These were made using red glitter paper and the Forever Young Cricut cartridge! I want some of these for myself!

Glenda the Good Witch is pretty in pink and full of sparkle!

Every story needs a villain!

Don't we all feel like this sometimes?

You just have to love Toto! This little guy was cut from the Everyday Cards Cricut cartridge.
