Wow, was yesterday a fun day, or what? Are all of you as tired as I am? I am going to confess to taking a late afternoon half hour nap to get through the evening!
I was super exited to have won an Expression II first thing yesterday morning! I could not believe that I went to bed after 2:00 am and got up at 6:00 am to watch more HSN and interact with Provo Craft on FB. Imagine my shock when they posted the 6:20 am winner and it was me? I was on the phone with MFK (my friend Kathy), who I had just awakened. She had been up until 3:00 am watching HSN! I felt horrid for waking her - she is almost always up very early - but she says it was okay since she was talking to me when I won. What a good sport and GREAT friend!!
Today's layout is the third of the three I entered into the Birthday Contest. This design took a design from my data disc DVD set and incorporated a few changes to come up with the Cricut Birthday layout. (So is anyone like me and wondering WHAT PC plans to do with almost 500 birthday layouts?). I used Imaginesce Birthday Bash cardstock along with Bazzill and glitter cardstock to create this layout.
The decorative background piece was created in Design Studio using a cut from Cindy Loo, welded together multiple times to form a square. I used medium weight glitter cardstock and multi-cut the page two times.
Similar to my Cricut birthday layout, I had fun with a birthday hat. I thought the number 5 needed a birthday hat topper.
I finished the layout with a few gemstones, doodles, ribbons, and Imaginesce birthday candles and chipboard circle. I cut a flower and mounted the circle on top. I used a thick line of zip-dry glue to hold the candles on the corners.
Thanks for stopping by today and thank you for all of the kind wishes from yesterday!! I will be back tomorrow with a new - NON-birthday project!
I read yesterday now that the Expression II release is over we all have to move on to the Royal Wedding (both being historic events and all!!). Well, more on this later in the week but.... MFK is having the girls over on Friday morning (arriving at her home between 4-6 am) for a royal wedding bash! I'll keep you posted......
