HaPpY BiRThDaY To My WombMate aNd I!

As promised, My sister and I are having a special blog post for our birthday.

We searched the blog world and found an amazing project for all of you... The Never Ending Card!

This is the first time my sister and I have made this card. You can literally flip and flip and keep flipping the card over and over forever. Here are the pictures of my never ending card.

All of the paper is from DCWV's Lemon Flower Stack. I have been waiting to use this paper and I absolutely love how it looks on the never ending card.

I used 3 different embossing folders, chip board embellishments, paper and mulberry flowers, buttons, and various stamps. I do have a few blank areas on the card that I am not sure what to put, but I think I will wait and see what I come up with.

This past Monday at CHA I had the pleasure of meeting Emma from My Creative Time. She is amazing and so are her products. Emma gave me and my sister this stamp set for blog candy for our Birthday Celebration Post. All you have to do is become a follower and leave me a comment. I would also love it if you visited Emma's blog and told her that we sent you.

Thanks for celebrating my birthday with me!

This week at Die Cuttin Diva's we have a sweet challenge for you!

In honor of National Dessert Day this week we want you to create a project with any type of dessert.

When I woke up this morning my husband told me that we had to be at a birthday party by 3pm. When I asked who's party and why I didn't know about it, he said, "Oops! I forgot to tell you they called last week." So off to my craft supplies to make a card and a notebook for the birthday girl I went.

The gift set.

I used my sweet treats Cricut Cartridge for the cake and plate.

the stamps are from Hero Arts. I also used my MS punch for the notebook.

The notebook is a dollar store find that I altered using the same paper from the card.

We hope you have been inspired for this challenge. We would love to see your projects over at DCD and hear some feedback on all of our blogs.

Thanks for visiting!

Now on to my card. My Niece/God-daughter turned one this past weekend. So what a perfect opportunity to cre8te a card for my blog hop.

I had just received my Wild Card Cricut Cartridge in the mail and knew I wanted to use it for the blog hop. This card is the first card I made using the Wild Card cart.

I wanted to add a shadow on the inside of the card so I used a slightly smaller cut of the same cupcake.

There is blog candy to be shared. (picture coming later today, working 13 hour days is putting me behind just a little) Please leave me a comment (along with your email) and if you want follow my blog. I will draw a winner on Monday morning. Thanks for hopping along with me.

Die Cuttin Diva's May 24th Challenge

Hi All! It's Tuesday and time for another Die Cuttin Diva challenge.

This week we were challenged to make a "celebrations" card. I used my Sweet Treats cartridge to cut out the card shape and added the layers using the other features of the same cart. Here it is:

My nephew is turning 3 this Friday so I made this card for him.

I was inspired from last week's masculine card challenge.

Thanks for visiting and I look forward to seeing your project for this week's challenge.

Happy Birthday!

Here is another fun fold for a birthday card.

Happy Birthday!

This month I am celebrating a great couple. Both of their birthday's are in April and only 3 weeks apart. So I was busy making a card for each of them.

We weren't able to get together on his birthday so I made him a belated birthday card.

And next week I am going on a girl's night out to celebrate her birthday! I just had to make her card girly and with some sparkle.
