Bow Ties and Birthdays

This card was made just because I love cute little bow ties!

You can never have enough birthday cards on hand. I whipped up this little one in minutes. I kept the design simple. I think the green adds just the right splash of color too!

I used a Lori Whitlock 3D bow tie cut file and Lifestyle Crafts dies on this one. The birthday sentiment is from SRM Stickers.

I'm linking this one up to the bow tie challenge going on over at Curtain Call. It's a fun one!

Hope you all have a happy week!

Supplies:
SRM Stickers - #42021 Express Yourself Birthday

Curtain Call Challenge

Camera Shaped Card for my Traveling Buddies

 I've taken some really fun vacations this summer. I'm even headed to Hawaii in a couple of days. 

I made a couple of camera shaped cards for my traveling buddies - (my mom and Rachel)! I used my Silhouette and a fun cut file from Lori Whitlock. I used pop dots behind the heart and "perfect vacation" sentiment to add some dimension.

I've been wanting to play along in sweet Virginia Lu's View Challenge for a while now. I'm linking this one up for sure!

There's some challenge fun going on in blog land. I'm also linking up at Moxie Fab World and Little Red Wagon too. 

Have a happy week and I will share pics of Hawaii once we get back. It will be my first time there. Can't wait!

A Bows and Bubblegum Party

Parties are a lot more fun when you add a fun twist to the theme! This party idea literally popped into my head one day while I was passing out bubblegum to a classroom full of teenagers. That evening I quickly browsed online for a fun shape and found this adorable 3D Bow by Lori Whitlock. It was the perfect addition to this party theme!

The  first step in creating this party is to buy a large bag of colorful bubblegum balls. Add a different color to mini-paint pails.  Then create the bows to coordinate with the color of the bubblegum. Easy, fun, and quick!

I hope you enjoyed the party!
