Friday Funday....featuring a FOLLOWERS project

Happy Friday!!!!! Boy what a week it has been--I have to admit that I am toying with the idea of the cricut circle!  Should I or shouldn't I????
Guess you will have to wait till Monday to find out!  BTW anyone going to the scrapbook show in Kansas City on Oct 8 and 9?  Let me know cause I will be there!!!!

I love getting emails from you all and I got the best one yet this week.  Cathy, a loyal follower, has taken the exploding box I showed a while back and made an amazing card/gift for her grandson's FIRST birthday.  She has been making a card each month this year and then collecting  a picture with her grandson in it with the card--well she used all those pictures to make this!  AMAZING!!!!!!!!
I love love love the ribbon she made out of paper so it matched perfectly!
Look at how cute he is!  I just love how Cathy make the box look--with animals and nature.  She used the yellow ribbon to just hold the layer up so we could all see the creativity she poured into this project.
Here is the second layer!  Cuter than the first!!!! but wait--the center is so cool!!!!
I love the one candle!!  Happy Birthday Ryan!!!!
A big thank you to Cathy for sharing this with me and allowing me to share it with all of you.
I know you all love this too--so show Cathy the love by leaving comments.

Hope you all have a great weekend! See you back here bright and early Monday morning!

  2. One of my friends went to Michael's class and she learned how to make the boxes and tops, but they are a little different than this. I like the idea of the layers on this, what an adorable card! Like the candle! Great job!!
    I made some out of Halloween paper, going to put purple shredded paper in bottom and candy to send to my great neices.

    Bryan -- yes, you SHOULD join the Circle. I have had such a great experience in the Circle and I'm so happy I joined. I won't be in Kansas City because I'll be in SLC at a Circle swarm. Have a great time!
