ABC Challenge
I made this card for my nieces birthday using the Rock Princess cartridge & my gypsy & cut at 5.5".
I am also entering it into the abc dt challenge
Unfortunately I forgot to take a picture before giving it away, so I had my sister take a picture and send it to me. All she had was her phone so it is a little blurry.

Birthday Cards
I needed a birthday card for my nephew so I made one from the CARS cartridge since my nephew loves cars so much (my family is in the transmission business so we have grown up around cars). Then late last night my sister tells me she needs to get a card. So I say "I will make one for you" so I was up until 4:30 a.m. making one for her, and I like the one I made for her better than the one I made for me. lol
A2 size card
striped paper is from Oriental Trading
Martha Stewart (dot bumpy sticker)
Cars cartridge 2.75"
The car is popped out using foam squares from Oriental Trading
Birthday Ribbon is MS
I used sparkly pens for the wheel rims, parking lights & side of car
Brads for the eyes

I originally cut this card for the Motions & Folds Hop but wasn't sure how to decorate it, so I put it away. Then last night when I was trying to decide on a card to make for my sister to give to our nephew, as I was looking through all my cartridges for the perfect design, then it hit me I knew exactly what I wanted to do. And this is what I came up with.
A2 size stair card
Sweet Treats cartridge
Birthday Wishes stamp- Papertrey Ink set - Mega Mixed Messages Vol.3 #10
The #'s (1 and 3) are cut at 4", I-rock for the bling and glitter glue for the flame
the little blingy things said they were for ironing on clothes but I thought I would try them with
the I-rock- they worked just fine.
The hat and "make a wish" were cut at 2" and the noise maker was cut at 1.75",
I used a glitter pen on the curly q's.
All of the items are popped out using foam squares from Oriental Trading
This was a lot of fun to make once I decided how to decorate it. lol
