Cameo Creations Challenge 1

Hey Everyone!
  
  I managed to sneak in a challenge for the first time in a long time! My blog has been quiet but I have managed to create several layouts for my daughters first year album. At last count I had 24 to go! LOL. She'll only be two in May, better late than never.

There is a new challenge hosted by Monica from Monica's Creative Madness called Cameo Creations. It is for people who have fallen in love with their new Silhouette Cameo! I am excited about this challenge because there are not a lot centered around the Cameo.

This week's theme is to create a Valentines Day theme twisted easel card using the colors red, pink, and turquoise. I don't have turquoise so I used the "brightest" blue in my stash. I think it's time to go paper shopping again ;).

For my card, I kept the blue to a minimum because again it's not a true turquoise. The file I used is: 2_cute_love_birds_with_heart_C00001_21585 2/26/2010. I made the center heart a little larger and cut it out as one piece. Also, I seperated the birds a little so they are not on top of the heart. Of course, the blue winged bird is a boy and the pink winged bird is a girl. :). I used a sentiment from Scrappy Mom's Stamps, "Love Notes" that says "My Heart Belongs to You." I was going to add more to the sentiment part of the card but figured it's the perfect amount of space for someone to write their message. I also did some stitching with my gel pen and added some light pink bling. Super cute!

If you would like to participate, make sure you check out Monica's Blog. The challenges are bi-weekly so there is plenty of time. :)
