Cooper's 1st Birthday

I made this card for my daughter's boyfriend's baby brother. I used scraps so I don't know what papers I used but I cut the monkey on my Cricut from Create A Critter @ 3", the vine @ 4" and the balloon @ 1.75". Martha Stewart ink and Jaded Blossom flag die. Trendy Twine for the balloon string.

3rd Wedding Anniversary

I celebrated my 3rd wedding anniversary on the 13th and wanted to share that with everyone. I received 3 lovely bouquets of flowers and the bizarre thing is my hubby and I both got/made each other cards with dogs and hearts. We are too much alike LOL!

 This is the card I made using scraps but I cut it out from the Art Philosophy cartridge at 6 inches. It is Tag3 card. The stamp is from There She Goes Stamps Puppy Love. Stamoped with Momenta inks colored with Copics. The flag dies and sentiment are from Jaded Blossom. Buttercream Twinery Twine and some buttons secured with Helmar Scrap Dots.

 The inside of the card is stamped with Hero Arts, Lawn Fawn and Clear and Simple Stamps. Stampin Up Early Espresso ink.

You should have arrived here from Katie but if you stopped at my blog to just visit today, I don't want you to miss a single thing along the way and you need to start at the beginning which is two hares by the Cheshire cat who is grinning at you and that darn caterpiller smoking her pipe at http://slasewcraftiness.blogspot.com/!!!

 For my project I made an Alice In Wonderland mini album. I haven't put the finishing touches on yet because I'm not sure exactly what I am putting in it. I cut the album from a Cricut file I made on my Gypsy and all the paper is DCWV from the Dazzle Stack. All cuts are from my Cricut Disney Classics cartridge.

 This fabulous digi image is Mad Hatter by Heather Valentin available from Scrapbook Stamp Society  I colored her with Prismacolor Premiere Pencils blended with odorless mineral spirits.

Thank you for stopping by and I hope you enjoyed your tea and crumpets and your next stop is not Twiddledee and Twiddledum but Erin

You can start at Lynne's blog and check out day 1 of this awesome two day hop! Happy Birthday Lynne~Hope it was wonderful and thank you for allowing me to celebrate with you!

Hugs, Love, Tea Cups and Crumpets
