Retirement Card and a 'Chicken' - Wall Decor

Not really a chicken I don't think with those tail feathers - here is another border card from Wall Decor. I cut the fence in taupe as a shadow, then again in white, and coloured the bird with promarkers. I cut 2" away from the right hand side of the card, so that the fence overlapped the front of the card. The sentiment is an old stamp by Darcie.

Be sure to go over to Scrappy-Go-Lucky this week, Mandy is doing a blog hop and giving away four Cricut cartridges - Rock Princess, Winter Frolic, Happy Hauntings and Country Life. Run over there to get a chance to win one of these

Here's another card I made for Scrappy-Go-Lucky this week, using the border feature from the Wall Decor and More cartridge. I cut the books at 2" in three different papers, blue, green, and a tiny floral, then chopped them around to add a bit of variety to the cut. The sentiment reads 'happy retirement' - I thought this cut was perfect for a retirement card, what could be better when you finish work than spending a lazy afternoon curled up with a good book without feeling guilty.

I thought the EK Success border punch had a bookish sort of look, and the metal accents are copper staples used with a fastenator. The lovely papers are from the DCWV Linen Closet stack


Here's a photo of our little birthday girl.......... she looks more like her mum each day!





She loved the Hello Kitty cake I grabbed from M & S (how I wish supermarkets made these great children's cakes when mine were little, when I think of all that angst, and icing spattered kitchens...............)

I have been doing a bit of tidying up on the blog, sorting out the LABELS - so now, if you want to find what I have been doing with a particular cartridge, each card is 'filed' under Cricut cartridge ******** - it should be a lot easier to find what you are looking for

See you tomorrow
