Cute Happy Birthday

Hi out there! :) I haven't really used my PK stamps for my last few projects so I was having some withdrawls! I've been wanting to make a cute little smiling present for a little while now so I decided that was what I would do next.

You'd think a present with a smiley face would be such a simple concept... For some reason I had such trouble with this simple little present! I just could not get the bow to look good... I tried a couple different color combos and I finally just settled with this one.

While I was working on this project do you know what I realized that I LOVE?? My gypsy!! I don't know how I ever lived without it!! Actually, I guess I never really did live without it... LOL. I never really used my cricut much until I got my gypsy. My all time favorite feature on the gypsy is the hide contour button. Being able to alter the images on the cartridges takes creativity to a whole new level. Since I've received my gypsy (a gift from my hubby! now that's a great man... :)) I haven't used my cricut without it!!
