Ladybug Birthday Card

On Sunday the 18th my oldest granddaughter will be celebrating her 15th birthday. When she was a little girl, she loved ladybugs known as ladybirds in the UK. So I decided to make a ladybug shaped card for her birthday.

The card was designed using the Gypsy and pieces were cut using the Cricut Expression.

Cartridges used were Walk in My Garden and George & Basic Shapes(Ladybug), Create A Critter(Happy Birthday) and Birthday Cakes(Audrey and 15th).

National Scrapbooking Day

Saturday May 1st was National Scrapbooking Day. It was a day for all scrapbookers to celebrate by taking out their paper supplies and tools to make creations. There were parties and challenges to be a  participant. I was following My Pink Stamper on Facebook and her blog. Over the course of the day there were twelve challenges for us to do. I was able to do three of them.

The first challenge was to make a Mother's Day card. Since I have four daughter and a daughter-in-law who are all mothers, I decided to make a card for each of them. Here are three of the five cards I made.

I made an envelope, but it is too small for the card that measures 6 inches by 6 inches.

Challenge # 8 Love My Color. For this we were to make something in a Monochromatic color with a flower. I made a card with some of the pink paper left over from the Mother's Day cards that I used to test the border punch.

The finally challenge was named Critter-licious. We were to make a card, page or project using animal or critter. I chose to make a double layout of one of my kittens watching  a chipmunk.
