The Cuttlebug Spot Sketch and Caardvarks Birthday Challenge



This week at The Cuttlebug Spot we are using a sketch designed by our own Aymee and it's our choice of theme. I changed it up a bit (I'm so proud of myself because I'm usually too intimidated to switch anything out, LOL) I used the birthday candles folder from the Cuttlebug Birthday Greeting Card Making Combo and the large dots are a Quickutz folder. The adorable birthday girl is a Pure Innocence digi image from Heather Ellis. She's colored with Copics and cut out with Nesties and popped. The sentiment is computer generated. The border punch is Martha Stewart and love how it embosses as well. Be sure to pop over to The Cuttlebug Spot and take a look at the rest of the Design Team's interprtation of this fabulous sketch and why not have a go of it?

I'm also entering this card in the Caardvarks Birthday Challenge. They are helping My Favorite Things celebrate their 4th birthday. WooHoo! I recently became a real fan of MFT after winning a challenge at Oh Alice! They have fabulous stamps (among other things) and Pure Innocence is one of their lines. Happy birthday MFT and here's wishing you many, MANY more!

  6. At first I thought I was at the wrong blog....what...no Alice, no macrabe, no 3-d images, not even any welding going on?!! Rather a simple card with one of the loveliest images and adorable colors! So Sweet!

    I'm going to miss you at CHA, my family will be in Pawley's Island enjoying the fresh ocean air...but it doesn't mean I can't raise a glass of wine and toast to our "almost" meeting!

    :D
