Biker Babe Birthday Card

Happy Sunday, bloggers! I have a card to enter into a few challenges tonight. I haven't used the DCWV All Dressed Up stack lately, so I pulled it out for this card. My biker babe was cut from the Rock Princess cart. I punched the edge with a Fiskars border punch and added a strip of ribbon from Michaels. The happy birthday is a rub-on and the gems are from Crystal Sticks. A white gel pen added dots to her top and stripes to the boots. The edges were inked with Colorbox merlot ink.

I am entering the card in the following challenges:
Frosted Designs Fabulous Friday Challenge - use bling on a project
Card Cupids - use dots or stripes
Birthday Sundaes - anything goes birthday

Card for Three Challenges

Happy Wednesday, bloggers! It was spitting snow this morning so what better way to pretend it wasn't happening than hiding in my craft room :) I have a card to enter into three challenges today. The birdhouse, flowers and congrats were cut from the Cindy Loo cart. The tree was cut from Serenade. The robin and nest were cut from Picturesque. The background paper is from K & Company and the glitter paper is from DCWV All About Girls. I embossed the tree trunk with the Tim Holtz wood grain folder, and the leaves and card base with the Cuttlebug swiss dots folder. I added Angelina fibers in mint sparkle for the bird nest. (Sidenote - Angelina fibers are sooo hard to work with! I get the stuff everywhere and it sticks to all my fingers! If anyone has used it and knows how, please let me know ;) I use ribbon from Michaels in white sparkle and silver mesh. I added pearl accents for the center of the flowers and a crystal for the bird's eye. Foam dots were added to the bird, birdhouse and nest to make them pop off the page.

I am entering the card in the following challenges:
Celebrate the Occasion #7 - New House (my birdie is leaving the nest for his first house!)
Amber's Crafts and Stuff #3 - Anything you want using flowers.
The Paper Variety -  Recipe Challenge 1, 2, 3 of your choice. My one is Angelina fiber. My two is two ribbons and two different gem embellishments, pearl and crystal. My three is three flowers and three different Cricut carts used.

Chloe and Her Clip on Koalas Challenge

Happy Tuesday, bloggers! I came across a great challenge over at Chloe and Her Clip on Koalas. For a chance to win Peachy Keen ABC Animal Faces stamps and a Zooballoo cart, all you have to do is enter any project with a smile on it or one that has made someone else smile. I love this challenge! I have boxes of pictures of my niece, Lexi, that I need to add to her scrapbook.  It's a little hard to read the text: New Purple Dress...$10.00; Horse Ride...$.25; That face...Priceless! Some Things Money Can't Buy.
