Welcome Baby Card - boy

I love this cute little card I made this weekend for my friend whoop it's expecting a boy this June. 

To create this adorable little card, i used the CTMH's My
Acrylix Stamp set "It's a Zoo - C1360" that is now a retired stamp set.  I inked the monkey in Gypsy ink, the giraffe in Goldrush, and the elephant in Indian Corn Blue (all Exclusive Inks by CTMH).  The sentiment was stamped in Pacifica ink and I used Pacifica cardstock for the border on the left and to frame each animal.

Construction Truck Birthday Party

My best friend hosted a Construction Party for her son.  To go with the theme I made this little card for him.  I used some scraps I had laying around and the Cricut Everyday Paperdolls for the truck.  Turned out simple yet cute!

Hubby's Birthday Card

I was excited to use my motorcycle stamp for my hubby's birthday card.  He was just the person I had in mind when I made this.  The best part is that he really liked it too :)

Getting Ready for the Party

I'm having fun getting ready for the Firetruck Birthday Party.  First step, adding the letters to these red plastic buckets I picked up at a local dollar store. 

The yellow vinyl was bought at a recent scrapbooking convention.  So I used my Cricut Art Philosophy cartridge from CTMH for the letters.  I added a layer of clear (transparent) contact paper bought at Wal-Mart on my Cricut mat, then the layer of the yellow vinyl on top of the contact paper.  Then turned the blade to the highest setting (6) and it cut the letters beautifully!

I had so much fun, I then had to decorate the smaller buckets by adding a star and the number 2. 

When we are ready for the party, I plan to add colored tissue paper to each bucket before I put the food in them.
