Happy Birthday

Today is my birthday and my daughter that is always telling me and everyone else she doesn't scrap made this beautiful card for me using my cricut and some of my fabulous new paper. I'll never let her forget she can scrap (I knew she could all along).

 This is the inside of the card. I love the picture she used. It was snapped in one of those little photo booths a few years ago at her birthday party. Such Fun!!
I'll cherish this card and her forever!

The front of the card was a cut from one of the Martha Stewart cake carts. I'm not sure which one because I just got them and haven't got to play. She has made some wonderful wall art for her room from the MS cake carts that I plan on scraplifting for cards. The sentiment I believe is from Storybook. She couldn't remember what she used but I knew you'd want to know. LOL

I hoped you enjoyed a peak into my family today. I had a wonderful birthday. My E2 arrived today as well so I'm off to play and I'll share tomorrow what I come up with.

Lady Tilda

I've been having a great time coloring my new Magnolia images from the Spring Club. I absolutely love all the images but am bummed because I didn't receive the Tilda with apple. I've contacted Magnolia so hopefully they'll respond soon.

Well on to today's card. I colored her with my copics and added some bling with stickles. I used my cricut again for the following cuts;
scalloped oval - Storybook p.49 then embossed w/the cuttlebug
leaves - Joys of the Season p.68
flowers - Forever Young p.68
I really enjoy my cricut and it's great to be able to use them with my Magnolia stamps. If you haven't tried I encourage you to.

The pearls are from Queen & Co. The patterned paper is K&Co from my stash. I stitched it onto a piece of purple cardstock. The flowers and ribbon was distressed with Tim Holtz distressing ink. I wet the flowers then sculpted and dried them to shape I wanted.

On the inside of the card I used one of the dragonfly stamps and punched it out and then punched a scalloped circle to mat it with.

Don't forget if you're interested in swapping stamped images of Tilda and Edwin I invite you to check out my post here. We'd love to have you join. We already have some great images signed up so don't miss out. This is a great chance to try some images before you buy them. Let's face we know you will. LOL

Khaki Tilda With Love

I've finished my second Tilda but struggled a lot with this one. I'm still not 100% pleased but can't think of anything else to do so here she is.

I colored her with my copics and used Basic Grey's Fusion line of papers to complete the card. The scalloped oval was cut with my cricut and the Storybook cart. The apple was a miscellaneous stamp that I cut out and popped up in her hand. I had the apple in her lap but my daughter asked me why the apple was suspended in air so I moved it to her hand. I'm still not sure what I could do to make her look like she's sitting.

I cut the oval and then around her legs to make her look like she was sitting in it. While I had my sewing machine out from the other card I decided to stitch around the base. I really like the look of sewing on cards. It adds such a nice touch.

I've entered this in the following challenges. Be sure to check them out and let me know if you enter as well.

Have a Great Day Card

This is the 3rd challenge for critterchallengeblog I've done.

This was based on this sketch.

I cut all the scalloped squares with my cricut and storybook cart. Again everything but the brown background was from my scrap bin. You'd think I'd be putting a dent in it by now but I still have a lot of scraps to use.

Be sure to check out all the challenges and let me know if you decide to join so I can see your creations.
Have a blessed day!
