Musical Birthday

This card is for a fortieth birthday - a chap who is really into music. Still in my black/red/white period, maybe I will start pulling other colours out next week. I used the music note font from the Hannah Montana cartridge for the sentiment, and the guitar was cut at 2" from the same cartridge - this was one of those bizarre Cricut cuts that crop up from time to time. I set the machine to cut it at 4", and it was HUGE

I added some card candy from Craftwork Cards to dress the guitar up a bit...........
The swimsuit search goes on, how reassuring that so many of you have the same problems. It is a bank holiday weekend here in the US (Memorial Day) and also at home in the UK. So I hope wherever you are that the sun shines for you.

Ready to Rock for BBTB2, and a sneak peek

It was my turn to set the challenge for BBTB this week, and I chose the phrase Ready To Rock from the Hannah Montana cartridge. This cart. is full of images that teen girls (and boys) would consider cool, so perfect for those hard to make teen birthday cards. I chose black and pink, and cut out one of the guitars to finish the card. I dotted a few jet black gems around

All the layers were popped up quite a bit for extra dimension. Be sure to go over to BBTB2 again on wednesday, there is a Cricut cartridge up for grabs!
and here is a peek at a card using the new Summer in Paris cartridge, and Cri-Kit pens, which is on the Scrappy Go Lucky blog today, do me a favour and pop over there to see if you like it.


Would you believe, I had no strange encounters/experiences at all yesterday, everyone I have spoken to seems totally sane. Must be a first.......
See you tomorrow
