Happy Birthday - The Cutting Cafe'

Happy Wednesday to you all! This week is passing right by huh? Why do summer weeks seem to go by faster? I wish they would slow down a bit! LOL!

Today I have a birthday card I made using a big ole flower stamp from The Cutting Cafe'. Now originally this flower is HUGE, but I shrunk it down to card size, printed it on white card stock, then printed it 2 more times on printed paper, cut out the pieces,then put it all back together again. I only glued the center of the flower and the stem, leaving the petals and leaves free for a little extra interest!

I also printed Happy Birthday around the outer edge. I've used my Printmaster program again for the resizing and printing and such! I love that program!

Lastly I added a few buttons, some yummy ribbon from The Ribbon Shoppe, a few Rain Dots and a bit of embroidery floss and I was done! Oh, the papers are out of my scrap bin, but they still had the info strip on them and they are by Kaiser. Cute huh?

Well, that's it for now...thanks so much for stopping in to see me today! I'll be back on Friday with more card FUN! HUGS!

SMILE - BBTB Challenge

Happy Monday my sweet friends!

So did you enjoy your Mama's Day yesterday! We sure did! We had several family members that didn't get to come to our celebration lunch due to illness....nothing serious, but all the same, I missed seeing them! All in all there was lots of great food and happy laughter throughout the day!
Well, you all know by now that Mondays mean a new challenge over at Bitten By The Bug. This week we were challenged to use either the smiling or frowning face from the Cricut Wild Card cartridge. I chose the smiling face! My color combination was inspired my new ribbon pack I just received from The Ribbon Shoppe......WOW! That yummy pink and white striped ribbon was just one of many in the pack! LOVE it!
This is an according fold card that I found the directions to the other day while visiting the Scor-Pal site....you can find the directions HERE. I decided to make mine 5 1/2" tall where theirs calls to be cut to 4 1/4" tall.

I know you've already noticed that yummy big ole orange checked paper! I got that from Raspberry Road Designs, the set is called Forgotten Papers. I don't know about you.....but this card really makes me SMILE! Hee hee hee!

THANKS for popping by to see me today! Have a lovely day! HUGS!
