Simple Happy Birthday Card with Felt Cut from CTMH Thin Cuts

Playing with my CTMH  thin cuts last night and felt this is what I came up with. Run felt through your die cut machine average of 4 times for ultra thin words so there is no ripping. Bigger shapes like tags or the Bears I ran through twice. I used liquid glass to glue it to the card base and made a paper now out of the zip strip of paper at the top of the sheet old school style.

Waiting for the bus with Parker...Ish

This non-morning kid gets up begrudgingly each morning to wait for the bus, he doesn't smile a ton for pictures because of his Autism, but he loves to play with the photo editor app so it's our trade off...win-win. Here is Today's masterpiece by Parker. HAPPY FRIDAY! ...living life more "ish like"(from the book so titled).

Happy Independence Day

 Because doesn't everyone spend their holiday helping handmake a fox stuffed animal!  I love this kid SOOO MUCH. OH and by the way as a true crafter's kid when I said that I didn't have any white felt that he was sure he needed, he calmly said let's use a sock from the rag box!
