MJ's 1st (Mickey Mouse) Birthday!

For my baby's 1st birthday, I decided to use Mickey Mouse for the theme. I could not decide whether to buy everyingthing or make everything. I ended up making mostly everything. It was a lot of work, but it was well worth it. Everything turned out great! I searched the internet to get ideas. I got alot of ideas from community.provocraft.com website. I have a Mickey and Friends cricut cartridge, so all my cuts came from this cartridge.

Happy Holidays

I had a lot of fun making this card.  I used a lot of non-traditional items.  The entire card base is chipboard covered with red fabric.  I used a premade tag for my main image, and I added some floss to the bottom of it.  I added some lace behind the tag. I added fringe to the title.  I then used a lot of pop dots.  This is one card I will not be mailing.
