April 20th, 2008 at 7:40 pmI like all the inspiration but am definitely going to give the A-frame a try. I may even go as far as doing this project with the kids at school.

April 20th, 2008 at 8:47 pmHi May,
My mother is getting a floral bouquet made with my Cricut and Accent Essentials. It is posted in my profile. I also posted three pictures of her Mother’s Day card made from a paper bag. I sure hope she likes them…..

April 20th, 2008 at 10:34 pmOh, this is SO perfect. I have just moments ago started on a project. I took a class last week, in which we made a very cool mini-book. I am using the same technique for a Mother’s day gift. I showed this book to my friends last night - who are NON scrappers. I told them that I was going to do one as a Mother’s day book and they liked it so much that we are getting together next Sunday to make them together. You can definately count me IN.
