#1 Teacher for Tara

Hi everyone! One of my friends recently graduated from college and will soon be starting a teaching career. I made her this bookmark to let her know I am thinking of her. I used my Cricut and for the apple and "#1" cuts. I used a stamp and digi stamp from the Greeting Farm for the cute teacher and grad girls. I added some details with some silver, gold, white and red pens.

I also entered this in a few challenges:

Rudolph Was Here...

Happy 2010 everybody! I am back from a holiday hiatus and thought I would share this cute lil Rudolph card. He is cute from the Cricut Animal Kingdom cartridge with googly eyes and glitter glue on his nose. I did a little distressing/shading with chalks around his head and mouth.
I also used some scrap winter paper and ribbon (which says "Santa's on his way!") as well as a snowflake and heart punch. I am entering it in a few challenges:
