I love the Create a Critter Cricut cartridge!  There are so many cute little animals to find.  This little fella is also going into a frame in my soon-to-be baby boy’s nursery.  I embossed the dark brown and the green papers using a Fiskars texture plate which I ran in my Sizzix Big Kick.

This is a card that I made for my husband to tell him that I would “Put my heart on the line” for him (slightly cheesy, I know, but the idea made for a cute card).  I actually ended up making this card because I first found the red mini clothespins at Paper Source.  They…
