Vintage, So Much Nicer Than Old

Happy BBTB2 Monday.  I am going to open with an apology.  I have been busy for the last month with a special project and have been neglecting my blog(s) just a bit. My blogs and followers really are important to me so I promise to make improvements.

My first project for this week is a birthday card I made using Forever Young.  The challenge cut at BBTB2 is the dress form on FY.  I used the dress form and other FY elements to create a vintage birthday card.  I cut the cute swing dress, the fabulous hat, shoes and the VINTAGE label from FY. 

I matted my cuts on four layers of cardstock, two solids and two prints, and embellished with pearls.  I cut the card and the matting layers with Just Because Cards.  I have told you how much I love JBC haven't I???

The inside of the card contains the phrase "So Much Nicer Than Old" and the phrase is mounted on two layers of matting.  I simply need to add a birthday greeting and the card will be ready to present to a special "Vintage" birthday girl.

Like Shoes & Purses Layout for Everyday Cricut

It is the third Saturday of the month and that means it is my Saturday on Everyday Cricut.  I am so thrilled that Joy & Melanie trust me to be part of their Saturday team.

This week I used Cricut Design Studio and created a two page layout - Like Purses & Shoes You Can't Have too Many Friends!  I used Forever Young, Plantin Schoolbook and Calligraphy to create this layout.  The cut file is available for download - see the left column of the blog.

Be sure to go by Everyday Cricut and leave a comment so that you are in the drawing for this week's fabulous drawings. 

I plan to spend the day in my craft room working on special projects and in the kitchen this afternoon with friends working on cakes!  I think it is going to be a busy day!!

Have a great Saturday!
