Mother's Day gifts

This year I had a cool custom necklace and charm bracelet made for our moms for mother's day. The scrabble pendants are made by Sunrise Mosaics. Check out her website and become her friend on facebook!

Following the tri-shutter card tutorial on The Crafty Frugalista I created these mother's day cards to go along with the gifts:

And using my Cricut I made some birthday cards to give to our grandmas for their mother's day gift.

Menu Board

I've been wanting to have a menu board for a while now and I finally got around to making one. I used a large picture frame that I bought at Walmart and then used the Cricut cartridges "Opposites Attract" and "From My Kitchen" to decorate it. You can then use a dry erase marker on the glass and have your menu on display so your family knows what's for dinner this week!

Chicka Chicka Boom Boom

"Chicka Chicka Boom Boom" is a favourite book in our house. It was to get the book that my DD first crawled. And DS loves it as well. Last week while singing his ABC's to Grandma and Gido he sang them like this:

"a, b, c, d, e, f, g.... lmnop, q, r, Chicka Boom Boom!"

It was so adorable and funny I just had to make a layout about it! I used the Cricut I recently bought from a friend who upgraded hers, my scanner and my SCAL2 software to recreate the coconut tree and the title fonts exactly. The journalling says "A told B, and B told C, Liam has a cute way to sing his ABC's". I'm really happy with how this one turned out!
