Birthday Surprises

Hi - I'm actually very pleased with my card :) After attending a card class yesterday at my local scrapbook store and making 6 cards, I came home and whipped this up last evening. It's for my daughter's half sister who turned 7. I think I found my Mojo, which has been missing lately. It helps though that my spare room, now my craft room is coming together and mine again. It had been the junk room during our renovations. I've finally got the bed out of there, have my new shelves set up, and actually unpacked my Christmas present, a Cricut Expression!! Time is of the essence now, as this is also going to be where my new puppy's crate is going to be kept. I'm waiting for an Airedale puppy! There is one female who is a month old but I'm not sure I'm getting her yet as she's being evaluated for show prospects. If not, there is another litter due in April which would come home in June. So, fingers crossed I get this female, but if not, I can wait a couple more months. I've only been waiting a year so far ;)

So, back to my card, this is Sugarplums Cookie Emma from CC Designs. I used Basic Grey's Olivia paper, the sticky ribbon and flower are from the same set. There is just a wee bit of Star Dust stickles on her ribbons and lace. I was super excited to finally use my CC Designs cutter and stamp set called Tags It for the birthday sentiment. I want more of those!!!

I'm entering this card over at All That Scraps Wednesday Challenge, Anything Goes.

You Know You Love Me

This is my first Valentine card for this year. I had my hubby in mind when making it :-).

So this is Betty! I love this paper pad, Bo Bunny Crazy Love and I always knew I'd use Kraftin Kimmie's Betty with it. The little pearls are mocha coloured Opaques from CTMH and that adorable brad is from the coordinating set of brads from Bo Bunny's Crazy Love line. The Hugs and Kisses image is from the Hero Arts Valentine Sayings set. I used some Ranger Distress Ink to distress the sentiment and the background to Betty. Betty was cut out and adhered to the background and then I used some pop-up dots to adhere the image to the card. I also used some really cool adhesive called Kool Tak Micro. It is adhesive dotted sheets which were recommended to me at one of my card classes at Dat's. I used it to adhere the two ribbons and the bottom half of the image. The cotton lace ribbon is from one of the local dollar stores. Can't beat that!! I used some Crystal Stickles on Betty's eyelids and the flower on her sleeve and then my clear Glitter Spica Atyou Pen on her stockings. She's pretty hot I think!!

I used this weeks Sketch #136 from Friday's Sketchers.

I'm also entering this card for Paper Sundaes Challenge #51 - Circles. If you look closely you'll see the background dp is full of all kinds of little circles.
