"Just Because" Card

Made this card for a dear friend --- just because! There’s a li’l story behind why it is "what it is":-my hubby would refer to my friend and I as “Tweedledee and Tweedledum”. Sometimes, he’d go one step further and call us “Tweedledum and Tweedledumber” and we’d always tease each other as to who was which one. :-)

When I got my Disney Classics cart, I knew exactly which design(s) I was going to use, first.

inside of card:

Tools/Items:-
Cricut Imagine
Cricut Cartridges – see below
Martha Stewart Punch Around the Page – Ribbon Loop
Glue – regular; ATG; Zig Two Way
Cardstock – purple; white (for the Imagine)
Corner rounder – Corner Stone by EK Success
Popdots
Rhinestones

Cricut Cartridges
Disney Classics – Tweedledee, Tweedledum, Cheshire Cat
Lyrical Letters – “You & Me”

This card was completely created on the Cricut Imagine, flood-filling designs, using the regular Cricut cartridges. I used the “Color Cop” to obtain the RGB codes for the Disney characters, via Disney Clipart. What an awesome way of getting the exact colour that the character is supposed to be. No fumbling thru coloured cardstock to find the right shades --- the Cricut Imagine does it all!

I found a background of Alice in Wonderland on the Net, using that as the backdrop for the “twins”.

Used the same background, for the inside of the card, only cut it down and used the MS punch around it.

Added rhinestones to the ties; then pop-dotted the “twins. The sentiment was computer-generated.

Tomorrow, I’ll showcase how I was able to “keep track” of all the teeny tiny design pieces.

Happy Birthday Daughter!

It's our daughter's 23rd birthday. Happy Birthday, Sweetie!! :-)

Made the following card for her. That gal sooooooo looks like our daughter (except she's a natural blonde, who decided to dye her hair). Go figure, eh?? I almost put blonde hair on the gal but caught myself, before doing so.

The sentiment is computer-generated.

She thought her birthday had been combined w/ her Dad's, when he had his surprise BD party. But we surprised her, after her Godmother (GM) took her out for lunch --- w/ a cake and pressies. She told her GM that she thought "something might be up because Mom is crafty". I think she meant my being "sly" instead of being artsy/crafty.
