The paper is the star of this card, I wanted to see if I could make a card with no stamped image or cricut cut, just paper, and this is what I came up with.
I did use the cricut (george cartridge) to cut a silhouette circle
I rounded a square, and pop dotted some circles onto it. I used quite a lot of doodling all over the card. The letters are American Crafts thickers alphas
We had a lovely, lovely day yesterday with all the family, we all got together to celebrate a milestone birthday for Mike, my husband - the children were as good as gold and it was such fun to see them all. Max was quite carried away with it all, sang happy birthday about ten times, and kept wishing me a happy birthday - not me sweetheart, it's all about Pops today. Kiki was fascinated by the ladies room, but I had to accompany her on every visit, so we had long and meaningful conversations in there. The very gooey chocolate cake was a big hit with them all, and we had a communal blowing out of candles, then a lot of wiping some very sticky mouths. Some new photos on my sidebar.I have scheduled a post for tomorrow, you will be reading it whilst we are doing the tedious travel day, so grab a coffee and think of me looking at my watch and wondering 'will this journey never end?'
talk about a challenge! great idea!

Hi En,
ReplyDeleteCan't believe you're on your way back to the US, I was going to try to arrange a meet up with you next week as Shane is back at school then. I've finally caught up with reading your blog, and as usual I've had a chuckle at some of your posts. Your cards as always are excellent. Hope Mike is ok, and please wish him a belated happy birthday from us. Have a safe journey to the States. Look forward to hearing about all your exploits there :)
