Sprinkled with Fun Birthday Card

Hello and Happy Sunday!  I hope you have had a great weeken!!  After a long, busy week I had a nice weekend and got a little crafting time in today!  Yay!  I made a birthday card just for fun and to join a few challenges that I've been missing lately. 

The green pearl/swirl is from Zeva and was a gift from my great friend (and Design Team Leader) Sheri Holt.  Thank you Sheri!

This cute little girl is from Whoopsi Daisy.  I colored her with Crayola twist up pencils and pop dotted her onto a cut from Lacy Labels.  I resized them on my Gypsy.  I love being able to do that!  The little butterfly is cut from Imagine More. 

 The patterned paper doesn't have a name on the back, so I don't know the company.   I think I bought it at Michael's?  The sentiment is from Pink By Design's "Take The Cake" set.  I used 3 different stamps on that set to make it.

The inside is finished with another of the Lacy Labels cut, inked in red.  The card base is from Wal-Mart.

This card went together pretty quickly and I'm happy with it.  I'm entering it here:

Whoopsi Daisy - things with wings
Crafters Cafe - Pearls & Swirls
Bitten By The Bug 2 - Birthday & Pearls
Paper Playtime - anything goes with a sentiment

A Little Bling

Happy (early.......REALLY early) Birthday to me!!!  My birthday isn't until Dec. 19th, but  my sweet husband asked me what I would like for my birthday, while I was looking at the Wal-Mart Black Friday ad.  So I said I would like this Cricut Imagine here and he said OK!!!  I was really surprised!!! So I went to my very first Black Friday door buster and parked myself at the correct spot to get the one and only Imagine that our store got in!

I cut a few images to start getting familiar with it and ended up with this card:

It needed something, but I wasn't sure what.  Then I remembered seeing a challenge titled "A Little Bling" and I decided that was exactly what it needed.

 What a difference a little bling makes!

 These images are from Imagine More cartridge.  The paper is from Martha Stewart.

Not too bad for a first attempt!  There are a coupld of cartridges that when I saw them I thought "If I ever get an Imagine, I've got to have that cartridge!"  Well, they should be here by the weekend!  LOL!!  I'll show you some projects with them as soon as possible!

Thanks for stopping by and I hope you have a great day!
