Weekly Challenge #20: Love Notes Challenge!

The project must include a heart, embossing and 2 Cricut cuts.
I embossed the frame and the heart in the upper left right.  The silver letters are from the cartridge Ashlyn's Alphabet. heart is from the cartridge Accent Essentials, silver embellishments are from the cartridge Elegant Cakes.
The theme is to my sweet granddaughters in their Valentine Day's dresses.

I had so much fun making these for my granddaughter's birthday.

Babies are so precious

The Cricut Circle Weekly challenge #16 is called "Cute as a Button."  The requirements are to use the sketch provided by Jana Eubank, 2 different cuts from any Cricut cartridge , and  incorporate STAMPING and BUTTONS.

Recipe for my project:
Baby Girl - All Mixed Up
Baby Carriage - Designer's Calendar
Baby Bottle - Wrap it Up
I used generic stamps using "Marvy Uchida" brush markers for rubber stamping.
I used four heart buttons on each corner of layout and two flower buttons on the wheels of the baby carriage.
The "Title" I used is from James 1:17 - "Every good gift and every perfect gift is from above . . ."
I layered the baby picture and bottle using pop-ups to give a dimension to the page. 

Winter House with Granddaughters

The house is from Christmas Village, and the snowflakes are from Winter Lace. 

I used my two granddaughters photos for looking out of the windows in the house.  It is so wonderful to have two precious granddaughters
