My first card is for "Lazy Day"
Pluto was cut from the Mickey and Friends cartridge at 1.75 inches and the words were cut from the Just Because cartridge at1.75 inches. All the paper was from my Scrape pile and the card measures 5.5 x 4.25
My second card is for National Tooth Fairy Day'
I used a child's year for this one lucky me it had a couple tooth fairies on it and a tooth All the paper is from my scrap pile I found the poem on the Internet and it was free to download made the tooth into a little pocket to hod the cash!

Janet, Love your cards. they are adorable. Pluto sure looks like he is ready to be lazy. The Tooth fairy is so cute. I love how you used a tooth to hold money from the tooth fairy. Great idea. Thanks for sharing. Edwina Brown
Oh my - - I feel a lot like Pluto today. 8^)
Love both of your card, they are super cute. Love how you added that special little pocket to hold the money the tooth fairy is bringing for this special little one.
