I got create a critter for Christmas. Cant wait to use it.

What a cute card and lovely cartradge.
The stamp is just perfect with the hippo! I like create a critter (don’t have it) but wonder if you can cut the layers without the smiling mouth? For my New year’s goal, I am going to try and be happy with peoples decisions and not think of ways I would prefer them, just accept (in other words, stop nagging my sister to move back to our home state!)
I love the hippo!! TOOO adoreable!
Cute card!! More scrapbooking is in the goals for 2011!!
Cute card. I really must learn how to do all the layers. Thanks for the lessons!

Forgot to include my goals for 2011. We were so blessed this past year with the birth of twin granddaughters. I have been providing day care for them while Mommy and Daddy work. They keep me hopping, so I haven’t had much creative time this past year. One of my goals is to definitely scrapbook all of their adventures thru the first year and into 2011. They turn 1 yr old this coming weekend. So I better get busy. Sorry for the extra post.
