When my best friend, Ashley, asked me to be a stop on her blog hop, I knew I had to make something super special! I made two projects: a card and a gift tag.

The Card:
I started out with my brand new(I FINALLY got this for Christmas- I've been abusing Ashley's!) and FAVORITE cartridge, Create-a-critter! I'm really quite pleased with how this Birthday card came out...especially the glittery cheeks and toenails!




Recipe:
Pig: Create-A-Critter, cut at 3 1/4
Accessories: from the tiger on the next page also cut at 3 1/4
Scrap cardstock in pinks and purples
Cuddlebug embossing folder
EK Success edge punch
Fiskars stamp
brads
Pop Dots


For the Tag:
I thought I just needed to make more party animals while I was at it, and this is what I came up with!






Recipe:
Create-A-Critter: cut at 3 1/4
Accessories: Hat from the Tiger, bag from the snake; both cut at 3 1/4
"Just for You": Phrase option for the Snake
scrap paper, and yellow Swiss Dot paper
Googly eyes
Recollections Yellow flower eyelet
Pop Dots
Red ribbon
White Gelly Roll Pen
Metallic Silver Gelly Roll Pen
Stardust Gelly Roll Pen


Now for the BLOG CANDY! I've got a few card packs, some stationary and a notepad, all from Studio G in the Bohemian collection. They're so cute, and just bursting with spring fever!

Leave a comment on one or both of these projects, and a random fact about YOUR BFF (even if they don't like to scrap with you all the time like mine does!) and you'll be entered for the candy pictured below! I'll draw the winner on Thursday, so make sure you leave me a way to get a hold of you!




Thanks for hopping along with us today- I hope you're enjoying this as much as I am! For you, on to Momo's Blog!

Thank You card


This card was designed using challenge pieces from my local Craft Warehouse Stamp Club- they provided the three patterned papers (which I didn't actually trim at all, now that I think of it), the Raffia, and the little brass bead. I'm really very excited with how this card came out! What do you think?
