Shells Winter Scene card made it to the Cricut Chirp!!

Now I am well impressed with my Sister, her card was linked in the cricut board section of the Chirp, I am a little jealous though as now she hit the chirp twice first in the 100th edition with her very first post-story book, and now again in edition 136!!! Not really jealous, I'm proud of her, well done Shell. X

Girls T-bar shoe

I designed this shoe on the design studio using George n Basic Shapes, it is to go on top of a nappy/diaper cake I'm making for a work colleague. Unfortunately I had to add the T-bar separately due to the cut in the shoe, but I am please with the overall look.
