My Son's Birthday

Hey everyone! I hope your having a wonderful weekend with this crazy weather! It is in the 70's here in Alabama, and raining on again off again. I'm just about tired of it!! This is the card I made for my Son whose birthday is on the 10th. I opted for an easel card instead of trying to do a shaped one of the cake. I embossed the cake and added candles everywhere with the big 30 on the top! My "baby" is no longer a baby! Any whoo, I used stickles for the flames on the candles,glittered up the background, did a little inkin', used bakers twine for the streamers at the top, and sprayed the whole thing with glimmer. This is birthday card #4 for anyone who's counting. I forgot to take pics of the first two, LOL! Thanks for looking!

Recipe:
Cake- Birthday Bash
Numbers- Kate's ABC's
Cuttlebug folder- Swiss Dots
Candles- Wild Card
Sentiment- Computer generated

Summer Blessings

Hello everyone! I trust that everyone has survived the heat wave,LOL? It has actually cooled down here for awhile. Fantabulous Cricut's challenge #72 this week is to "Get Buggy", so I started thinking about summer and bugs and decided to do the fireflys from the Stretch Your Imagination cart but I didn't like the jar. So guess what? The jar was cut from Kates ABC's, and then I decided it needed something else so I cut the snail from Walk in My Garden. Didn't like the lid on the jar so I cut it off and stamped one to put in it's place. Do you ever get to where you just CAN'T MAKE UP YOUR MIND! Any way the outside sentiment was done on my Design Runner and the grass was cut with a M.S. punch. The inside sentiment was computer generated. Hope you like! It just reminds me of my childhood days, and what we did to keep ourselves occupied on hot summer nights! Thanks for looking!
