Fabulous and 50!

I have two childhood girlfriends turning 50 this week so I made them this card. By looking at my friends you would never believe they are 50! At different times in my life they have been my best friends!  Even though life has taken us to different parts of the states we still stay in touch, thanks to Facebook.  Technology is great! It has allowed me to make lots of new blog friends too!  Ok, back to the card.

Smile Birthday Card/Crazy for Cricut Cahllenge

I had a couple of birthday cards to make. I got my inspiration from the card on this week's Cricut Chirp. The card posted in the chirp uses the Groovy cartridge which I don't have but I do have the smiley cartridge I got as a free download so I improvised. I think they turned out really cute.

This one was made for a 15 year old princess ::) The crown is made with silver DCWV Glitter paper. The flowers are Recollection flowers purchased at Michaels.  the "smile" was cut on Post-it Craft paper.  This paper is so cool because it has adhesive on the back.  I used the Spots and Dot Cuttlebug folder to emboss the purple bottom half.   The yellow smiley face is cut on glossy paper.  So cute!

I altered this Victoria Secret bag very quickly by using my EK Success border punch. I then stamped "It's your day" around the border.  The stamp is from an older Stampin' Up! stamp set.



This is similar to the one above except it is for a 50 year old princess :)  I used a Making Memories jewel brad as the center to the flower. Purchased those at Big Lots for less then a dollar! woo-hoo! cha-ching!  Used Post-it Craft paper to cut "Smile" and "50"  Another very easy to make, fun card.

 I'm so excited to see my followers growing and its all thanks to "Gaby Creates"!  Big shout out to Gaby for hosting the Linking party!!!!!

Thanks for stopping by and checking out my projects! I love to share!
