Treat yourself to something Wonderful !

Oh Happy Day !!!   Its FRIDAY people :)  and its SOUS Friday and that makes it even better yes?!
SOUS new challenge,  create a" Sweet treat " and no better time then a birthday for such a creation.  I have a wonderful sweet young friend who happens to be turning 13 on Feb 13!  how cool is that ?!  I know right :) so a birthday card in the shape of a birthday cake would be in order for a long distance delivery and since I am not able to send sugar…I could cover with sugared glitter and fill the inside with a gift card allowing her to Treat herself with a little bit of Wonderful!  I love this girl and hope she likes as much as I do.

For this shaped card, I used the Cricut cartridge Sweet Treats and Birthday Bash.
Be sure to link up over on SOUS, I for one would love to see all of your creations.  There could never be too much inspiration :)
May your days be filled with much love as we celebrate the month of heart felt compassion <3

The Greatest Gifts of all

If I have learned anything recently its that the smallest kindest gestures of love, family and friends are the greatest gifts I will ever receive.  How many of us can recall physical gifts received from childhood, the paper and the bows ?  from Santa or from Grandma?  yeah... me either.  But I can recall so may moments from my childhood where the memories will forever be etched onto my heart.  I can so recall playing kitchen with my Grandad where I would pour fake coffee and he would always played along.  Or snapping peas on the porch with Grandmother and as a toddler following my brother to the fishing hole in the neighborhood where he would bait my hand made fishng pole of a stick and found fishing line.   I think I could tell stories forever and not a single one would consist of the opening of a box and finding some sort of treasure.  Thus my title of this layout for the latest Stuck on U die cut challenge.  We were asked to create something with GIFTs.  
The photo not yet taken ;).... will be one of my sweet neice at Christmas.  

Hugs to you and yours this holiday season!! 
 Be sure to check out the SOUS blog to see what the fabulous Die Cut gals have created but not before you check out my photos.  :)
