Project 65 - PRIMARY "HAPPY BIRTHDAY TO YOU"

Hi everyone, I made these cards way ahead of time for my little (Church) Primary Class for their birthdays!  I am also entering them over at Robyn's Blog Hop. I'm always doing thing at the last minute, but this year I'm taking a different approach!  Inside the gift bags there is a pair of socks inside a Cupcake Wrapper, topped with a chocolate heart.  You can see how I put them together HERE.  I used the Cricut Cupcake Wrapper Cartridge to cut the wrappers.
Bug Hugs!


This is what the wrappers look like with the sock.
