Happy Birthday Mama!!

Yay!! Today is my Mama's Birthday!! She is 49 years young! She was worried about being so close to fifty, but she is beautiful at any age. We had a lovely Barbeque at home and now movie night!!!

My Mama was looking through my latest issue of Cricut magazine and absolutely fell in love with this cute little bee who was used on a couple of the projects inside, so I decided to use him for her card this year.

I cut him from Create-a-Critter at 3 1/2".

I used my Gypsy to hide contour on his eyes so I could glue on my googly eyes!

The card is 5x5 with two layers.

 The ribbon is 1/4" satin ribbon from Walmart.

Stickles made his little wings shine and Stickey-doos made them pop!

 The sentiment is from the Greetings stamp set!

The background paper is from the DCWV Nana's Kids. I just love Argyles




 

 






This is a cute b-day coupon I made her! The icon is from the Slumber Party Cartridge cut at 4" The face is from Peachy Keen Everyday Character Face assortment





Here it is on the inside top flap of her card. I used a Martha Stewart punch to make matching photo corners to hold it in place. On the back it says,"Good for one pedicure!"

Hope you like it!

Happy Birthday Mama!!



Happy Birthday Soulmate!!!

Well today is my Soulmate's birthday! She absolutely loves the Pirates of the Carribean movies and this year the newest one came to theaters on her birthday!! My Mama and I planned to take her to dinner and to see the movie premiere at midnight!!! Here is the card and gift bag I made for her to open at dinner!

The card is cut from Life's a Party Cartridge at 3 1/2" I used a gold paint marker for the embellishments on the Treasure Chest card.

For the Pirate ship I cut two of them out from Paper Doll Dress Up at 4 1/2". One in black and one in Brown so I could cut out my own layers to glue on. The Skull and Crossbones are also from the cartridge on the same button.

I also cut a Card out at 3" so that way I could cut my own layer on the inside because it was black.

 



For the words inside I found a cute website that had piratey sayings and I saw this little saying that was just perfect. One of her gifts was a Pirate medallion I bought when I was in high school when the first Pirates movie came out so this saying fit very well!

Hope you like it!

Happy Birthday Jeri!!!

My Pink Stamper National Scrapbook Day Challenge #1!!

This is my second year participating in The Pink Stamper's National Scrapbook Challenges, and let me say they are a BLAST!! It's so much fun to try to get them all done in an hour. This year I started late, but I'll catch up!

For the first Challenge we need to make anything using a cupcake! I figured a birthday card would be best.

I used a cupcake from Straight From The Nest cut at 4" with glittered and patterned paper for the frosting and wrapper.

The background paper is from The Sweet Stack Mat Stack from DCWV.

My ribbon is 1/4 green form Wal-Mart and I used Sticky-Doos to add dimension.

The sentiment is from MPS Stamp Set Family & Friends.

Stamped in Vivid purple.

Hope you like it!

On to Challenge #2!
