SpongeBob v-day


I made this card for my niece who loves SpongeBob..but after this card I don't..lol I like all the extra but the layering was hard this time..not sure why. I don't do the shadow with the dark background..I keep it yellow. I didn't have any clear acetate to make Sandy's Air Helmet, so I used white..I was going to use grey but that didn't look right. This card took me two days to make(3 hrs first day..blah)..just cause the layering and making things bigger. I will be using this cart for every card I send my niece, just cause she loves getting SpongeBob cards..and her mom got me the cart. I think it did turn out cute :) I had pics of the inside but for some reason they won't re-size. The inside is kinda like the front only without SpongeBob, Sandy, & Fish(jelly fish)..Just different colors and layout of sea plants and flowers.

I Used:
Wausau Cardstock-everything but the anchor(bazzill cardstock)
SpongeBob cart
Plantin SchoolBook cart-Hearts
Life's a Beach cart-Lettering inside
Pop Dots
White & Silver gel pens

Thanks for looking :)

Bama Bday!


Here is my take on a Bama birthday card that JeanniePhillips from the Cricut MB did. I use to live in Bama and still keep in touch with several dear friends. A friends little boy will be turning 2 next month, well his family is HUGE Bama fans! So I remember Jeannie making two awesome Bama cards..one for Birthday..I looked and looked all over the MB to try and find the two cards she did(one is a baby bama card) I could not find it anywhere. I follow her blog and that is where I found them. Her work is so Amazing!! I made my card different though..But I want everyone to know this card Idea for using a Roll Tide/Bama theme is hers all the way. I give her all the credit.

I Used:
Bazzill Textured cardstock
Houndstooth pattern paper(not sure brand got it at HL)
New Arrival cart-Elephant
A Child's Year-Balloons
Pooh Font-Lettering
-I cut the squares of pattern paper & cardstock 1"x 1"
-the inside I lined with the houndstooth paper, reads-Roll Tide!-with a #2
Embossing Floss-balloon strings
-I did notice the balloon with the #2 on it blends into the square..I didn't notice til after I glued it down..this card took me a good while to make, due to I was trying to weld the lettering on my DS but I still haven't figured out how to shadow it. So I played and played til I just gave up..I need more DS practice.
-the "B" on the balloon is for the little guys name.

Thanks for stopping by :)

Baby Boy RealTree Card


I made this baby card for my Cousin who is having a little boy in March...they did his baby room in the RealTree camo so I found some scrapbook paper at Cabelas that matched and decided to make the card to match...I think my Cousin will be surprised cause not a lot of people know they make scrapbook paper like this that looks like the real deal RealTree camo. They are also doing the lettering in the Blaze orange(hunter orange) I went to several stores and found some close to it but not bright like I wanted..but I think this turned out fine. I hope they like it.

I Used:
New Arrival cart-Onesies
Pooh Font cart-Baby
RealTree Hardwoods cardstock
Wausau cardstock
Bazzil Cardstock

Not done with the inside yet still trying to decide what kind of sentiment I want it to say inside..but will do the inside to match outside.

Thanks for looking :)
