Hello Kitty Birthday!!!

Hello everyone,
I hope you all had a fantastic weekend as I did!! I didn't do much crafting this weekend since my husband was out of town.  My son and I spent the weekend doing lots of fun things such as getting an African Dwarf frog for his fish tank.  We also went to see Legend of the Guardians which was a super cute movie.  The movie had a lot of CUTE owls very realistic!!!  I had a great time with him as I always do.  You know that frog I got him well it went to Froggy heaven the next day, so I had to run to the pet shop and get him another one as I left him with my mother-in-law.  He had no idea but I pulled it off:)  However, late last night I did manage to make this quick card for one of my son's little friend from school.  I hope you enjoy!! Have a great week everyone!!!

Used the card cutout on pg 29 and HK1

Just a Little Note

Hello Happy Crafters,
I hope everyone had a fantastic weekend!!! I'm starting the week with a bright card.  The flower is what inspired me to make this card.  Gorgeous flower right?  Wondering where I got the flower, I got it at Micheal's floral section.  I bought a small bouquet for $1.00.   All I had to do was take it apart and glue it on the card. I think the card came out pretty well with the exception of the sentiment Just a Little Note is a little unaligned but, I had already glued my flower.  I'm learning guys. I'll keep practicing and I'll get it down.  Have a great week everyone.  Enjoy!!
