Childhood Portrait Birthday Card

Hey Y'all,

I only got one card today, but that is o.k. I spent some quality time with William watching Alladin and playing dinosaurs and reading stories about Super Friends and CARS.

For the challenge over at Crafty Creations Challenges, we had to use our favorite stamp set. Well I have so many favorites, each one from their own category. But since I had to go with just one I chose Close To My Heart's Childhood Portrait. I just love these cute silhouettes.

 The patterned paper was from October Afternoon. I stamped the little boy with Juniper, Sunflower, Cranberry, Sweet Leaf and Moonstruck inks. All from CTMH. I used the Cricut to cut the Happy Birthday with the A Child's Year cartridge.

Now should I give this card to my 35 y.o brother or 3 y.o nephew? LOL!

Thanks for stopping by! Happy Scrappin'!

Have a MOOvelous Birthday.

Hello again,

Well between 3 loads of laundry and some cleaning here and there, I have managed to get a card done while the boys are out and about.

This card turned out just like I had pictured when I started! And that never happens!

When I started I had 4 Challenges in mind which were:

• 
  
  Cricut Cardz Challenge-must include brads or eyelets and use any cricut cartridge
• 
  
  Fantabulous cricut challenge-me-monday-11-must include 3 flowers
• 
  
  City Crafter week-6-recipe-card- which needed to include 1 ribbon, 2 papers and 3 flowers
• 
  
  The Shabby Tea Room-week-11- needed to have a tea party theme, polka dots, or both

As usual, all products used are Close To My Heart, except the ribbon- just Walmart 49cent stuff again.

I started out with the polka dot paper from the Silouette PP and instantly thought of cows. Luckily I had borrowed my mom's Animal Kingdom Cricut cartridge because I do not have a cow stamp yet.

The tree and grass were stamped with the Childhood Portrait SS, and the flowers with the Cottage Floral SS. I then added the Chocolate Bigger Brads to the flowers, the ribbon bow to the tail, the greeting and voila! Hee hee, it makes me smile anyway and hope you smile too when you see it.

Thanks for stopping by! Happy Scrappin'
