Jacob's First Birthday

 Jacob, my great-nephew, celebrates his first birthday on Monday and I want to send him a very special birthday card. I used a LOTV's stamp "Patchwork Hot Air Balloon" that I stamped with Memento Rich Cocoa ink on White CS. I paper pieced the balloon and colored the bear with Copics.  I masked  the image and sponged clouds in the background. I cut letters and the #1 from adhesive backed CS  with Cricut and attached to the card. I attached the image to a mat of glitter dotted CS and added to a Turquoise Card Base.  The fun part of the card is the inside.( See below) I stamped the bear inside and added a balloon of red honeycomb paper.  I surrounded the bear with clouds printed with best wishes and added Jacob's name. Clouds were printed on the computer.

What's New With You

Oh Happy Day! What's new with you today? What's new with me is playing with my new Cricut. Been cutting some hearts and decided that I should make a card with them since my DH wanted to see how I could use the cutouts. Sassy Ann at Sassy Cheryl's has a  challenge this week with a theme of "New Beginnings"... new home, new baby, new anything. It's your call.  I thought this challenge would be a good avenue to use those cutouts. I used Sassy's digi "Sally and Her Perfect Teddy Bear Gift" ( new digi to me) and colored her with Copics (received some new copics for Christmas that I used too). Layered with some new Pattern Paper and added the hearts and verse that I cut with new Cricut. Lot of newness here!
