Feel Better 4x4 Card

Hey Everyone!

      I wanted to share with you a card I made and and a box to match for my bff's daughter. She recently had surgery (not major!) and we went to visit her later that night.

I used my Cameo for this project and love how quickly it all came together.

My friends daughter is not girly so it was nice to use up some of my blue's and green's. I cant remember where the patterned paper is from but I believe it's by Recollections.

For the card I used the file happy_donut_C01260_20508 and it is one of my favorites! So super cute. I added a Peachy Keen Face to him (I forgot to white his eyes lol) and stickled the sprinkles. For the sentiment I used a stamp from Scrappy Mom's. I added some green twine and a button from Papertrey Ink. I love the way it turned out!

For the box, I used a file created by Lori Whitlock called bracket_flap_box_C01247_20509. I love this box! I didnt even have to score any lines I just folded and glued and voila.So easy. Love that it is so easy with the Cameo! I punched two holes in the front and added twine to close it shut. The sentiment is from Pink By Design and we filled the box with Mexican chocolate. Something she has been asking for!

Birthday Wishes!

Hey Everyone :).

    Well, for my family the season of birthdays are back in full swing. My daughter was one of five babies to be born within six months of each other. She was also the first girl! Im glad it was me who changed it up a little bit because I couldnt imagine her any different.

Anyway, we are on second year and today are celebrating baby #2's birthday. I busted out my Cameo and created this adorable 4x4 card. Im liking these 4x4's, so much easier for when they're being given to a child. I have two more to share with you as well so be sure to check back for those.

I really like this card, definitely boyish. I used a lot of scraps too which is great because my box is getting harder to close.

The car is a cut-it from Lettering Delight's "Sew Boy Stitchy." How adorable! I used a sentiment from Scrappy Mom's Stamps and the number 2 is from the Silhouette store: ornate_numbers_C00611_20387. To make it stand out a little more I offset it and layered it with white. Super simple but perfect for a two year old.

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. :)
