Hello Crafters! I hope you are all having a good week. Where did the summer go? I cannot believe it's September!

This week our Cut It Up challenge is LOL/That's Funny. My card is for a friend who is 4 months older than me. I have another friend who is 2 weeks older than me, so I'll be making another one of these for her. Every year I never let them forget that they are older than me. They don't think it's quite as funny as I do but I remind them every year!

Cut It Up challenge #322 - Have a Heart

Hello crafters and happy Friday! I hope you are having a good week. We are having fires in San Diego and very high winds, which is a horrible combination. Our fire crews are the best and have been able to get most of them under control but we have a huge fire down by the Mexico border that is burning out of control. I'm praying that homes are not lost and it gets put out quickly. Luckily, the winds are supposed to die down later this morning and that will help to get the fire under control.

Our Cut It Up challenge this week is Have a Heart. I made this card to send to one of my friends who lives across the country from me.

Paper: Taylored Expressions
Heart Stamp and Die: Taylored Expressions
Tag Die: My Creative Time
Sentiment: Stampin Up
