Created this card with a Strawberry theme. Stamped Taylored Expressions strawberry couple times for paper piecing. Used Crayola products for the marker (chocolate drip off the strawberry) & pencil colors (stem & leaves). Used paint for the chocolate. Added glossy accents.

Photographed the card near our strawberries we grow. Hubby did a wonderful job of transplanting the strawberry plants we have had growing for 5+ years. Hubby built a raised bed for the strawberries. Hubby put in drip irrigation for the strawberries and all the other plants we have growing in & around our greenhouse in backyard. You can see a strawberry that is just below the card.

Created this 3D Coffee Cup for my hubby for Father's Day.  Hubby likes the Keurig machine we bought last year and likes coffee.

Used Cricut cartridge Tags, Bags, Boxes & More 2. Had made the Tea Cup some time ago but this was first time making the Coffee Cup. There are similarities such as the base of the cups.
