Cricut Circle Easter Swap! Handmade Item

Happy Easter!  For our Easter basket swap we created a handmade item to include along with other scrappy goodies.  This little mini journal is for Shirley and her messageboard name is bird--so I incorporated her first initial and a cute little birdie into the cover design.  She said since she just has boys she doesn't get to create many girlie things so I'm hoping she loves this :-)

Cheez-It box for the cardboard covers
printer/copy paper - 5"x4"

Elegant Edges Cricut cart - scallop2@5" using the book feature, burst@3", 3 1/2"
