Hello Blog-Land!!
In an effort to maintain one of my 2012 Goals
I have a boy birthday card to show you.
Today I used an image from the Stamp Fairy
and colored it in manly colors.
I decided to try a little something different with the dots?!!
I think I like the outcome?!! What about you?
I used the sketch from The Sweet Stop
This sketch is amazing but I have to admit it was a little taxing on my brain? I couldn't figure out how to cut the main strip on an angle and have enough patterned paper to go from egde to edge. I resolved to cutting it extra big and then just trimming all of the pieces once they were on the card.
I also managed to maintain one of my other 2012 goals - to use my cricut more!!
I used the cricut to cut the star. Yeah me!!
(Don't forget you have till the end of the month to enter in
I am also entering this card for the following challenges :
(I think lime green, orange and bright blue qualify as unusual for me!!)
Well, I'm off but I hope you have a great day!!
Big Hugs
~ Alexis

I just made a card today using this sketch(I really love this sketch) and I also found it taxing on my brain! LOL! I ended up liking the result and I'll probably use the sketch again because it's a great one and your card is inspiring me to make my next one for a child! I love the dots you made on your package and your dietcut star ... your card came REALLY cute!
