My Nephew's 2nd birthday card

I had such a great Saturday. A bunch of gal pals and I rented a hall, packed up all our scrapping crap and brought some snacks to enjoy a fun day of scrapping, heavy on the yapping. We had a great day. I wasn't as productive as I'd hoped, but I still completed a bunch of cards. I'm glad the only kids present were in utero...let's just say the language leaned toward the filthy...ok...so my language leaned toward the filthy. A lot of the other women climbed into the gutter with me...and fun was had by all! The first card that I'm posting from that day is my nephew's 2nd birthday card. Had to use Elmo...gotta love Elmo. I know...filthy language and Elmo is creepy, but I love how it turned out. I started out using different paper, but Donna (gal pal...local Scrapbooking store owner extrordinaire) screamed yikes...so I took her advice and this was the end product.

Recipe:
  • Bo Bunny Expresso double dot cardstock and teal ribbon
  • Bazzill-red, orange, black and white
  • SEI-6x6" paper pack-Happy day patterned paper
  • Stampin Up scallop border punch
  • Paper Shapers corner punch
  • Kraftin Kimmie sentiment inside card
  • CTMH-cocoa ink
  • Cricut cart-Sesame Street Friends, Pooh font(2)
  • CTMH-cocoa ink, Happy birthday sentiment

Love it Leanne! And I am sad that I missed most of the day. I always love a good filthy conversation!! LOL! Can't wait for the next one. Hopefully baby stays in utero so that I can make it.

This card turned out fabulous! I love how you layered the number 2 over Elmo and these patterned papers are great!

You know that this paper was much better for your card than your first choice! That's why you asked my opinion because you knew that I would tell you the truth.....the Copic Card Bitch that I am!

By the way, how many cards did you get done on Saturday?

Love, Donna

Love this card. I missed seeing everything everyone did on Saturday so I am glad people are posting them on their blogs.

With the latest study from PEW Research stating that 95% of teens have
access to the Internet, 80% of kids have cell phones and 48% have
data plans, providing a safe cyber-space should be a priority for all parents.
Today, lots of websites and blogs bring in unheard of income for their owners merely
by promoting another's company on their web pages. A internet
marketing business, in a nutshell, a business that's designed to run on the
internet via a website.
