I hope you have as much fun looking at a few of my favorites as I did making them:-) I want to thank you all so much for visiting me through out 2011 and hope you continue to stop by in 2012:-) Big things are in my future and a kick off in a week will be my 3rd Blog Anniversary with blog candy from me!

The first one up is a combination of Tanners Halloween Town sentiment with this adorable image from All That Scraps called Hansel from the CC Designs swiss pixie collection

Next up is a tag I made using Christmas, Christmas stamp sets sentiment, on the tag with a Mo Manning image called Sticky!

And last but not least is my adorable Birthday card I used Mr Cricut Crazy's stamps set Birthday, Birthday with Crissy Armstrong's Whatzup with party time accessories hat
