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.

Recope:

Cricut Paisley Cartridge

DCWV Dots and Stripes stack for patterned paper

DCWV Glitter Mat Stack for word and "50"

Recolletion flower for sandal

All other cardstock is from stash

Darice small foam squares

Xyron Sticker Maker and Adhesive

Ribbon from Joanns

White Sakura Gel Pen

I hope you are inspired by this cool, fun and simple card.  I am trying to remind myself to keep it simple.  I can make beautiful and still be simple.  Thanks for stopping by!

I am entering this card in the Getting Cricky with K Andrews Simply Sunday Challenge. Check out her blog, it's awesome!

Think Pink Week Challenge

This week at My Pink Stamper, Robyn challenged us to create something with pink in honor of Breast Cancer Awareness and some specific ladies she knows that are struggling with cancer.  We all have or have had people in our lives that have struggled with cancer.  Let's show our support to them by "Thinking Pink". Below is the "Think Pink" ribbon I made.  I'm a little disappointed with it because my laminator/magnet maker crinkled the material.  I was trying to make this without going out and spending any money.  I didn't have any pink vinyl so I used what I had on hand.  Not bad for a newbie, huh?  It's the thought that counts right?

I used the Cricut Geoege and Basic Shapes, Cricut Cutting Up, Xyron 510 Magnet/laminator.
