You know it was a good day card

Just Jingle made a Dinosaur with Balloons card for Simon Says Anything Goes Challenge. I was positive I had some Dinosaur stamps, but they are well hidden if I do.

I had to make do with a little monster stamp (with teeth drawn in) and a flower crown. I hand cut the speech bubble and stamped it with "You know it was a good day if you didn't Hit or Bite anyone. Nathanial Parizek, Age 4."

Stamps: Recollections: Little Monsters (with teeth drawn in), Inkadinkadoo Kate Harper Designs (wood block stamp)

Inks: Memento Black Tuxedo, Distress Ink Chipped Sapphire

Memento Dual Markers: Lulu Lavender, Angel Pink, Lilac Posies, Rose Bud

Stickles: Cotton Candy, Milled Lavender (Distress Stickles), Crystal

Vintage Cream Papertrey Ink cardstock

Flowers  Beyond Birthday flowers leftover from another project, folded to add dimension and attached with a drop of Viva Decor.

Circleville NDS Challenges.

The Cricut Circle Circleville had a National Scrapbook Day Challenge last weekend. For Sis's On Pins Challenge, I made this paper bonnet I found at this pin. I distressed the bonnet edge with the edge of a pair of scissors. The ribbon is 1 inch (which gives a reference to the finished size). The flowers (from the Beyond Birthdays cart) are bent to give some extra dimension and secured with stickles. The cardstock is PTI Ripe Avocado.

And this is my project for the E-I-E-I-O Challenge I pulled out my box of orphaned Cricut Cuts and found the windmill (from Heirloom?), the cow (from one of the Imagine carts) and the balloon from George(?). Jenny's challenge was to use a farm animal and the song "How you going to keep them down on the farm (after they've seen Paris) kept coming to mind. This is the result : D. The cardstock is PTI and so is the twine.

Happy Birthday Dad

I started with a blank card from Club Scrap, but it was the wrong tone for this card, so I used Antique Linen Distress Ink to deepen the tone. Everything else is from my scrap box (I think it's mostly K&Co.)

The stamp mat is from the Sentimentals cartridge and more Antique Linen Distress Ink around the edges. Dad is from Beyond Birthdays, and sanded around the edges with an emery board. I cut a plaid mat with my tonic guillotine. The happy birthday sentiment is from Lyrical Letters cartridge and it is small (the whole sentiment is 1.75"). This is take 2 lol. The first one I cut was out of a thin scrap paper and it got very wobbly with the glue. So I tore a mat to cover the first sentiment and re cut it.  The second time I used K&Co. shimmer paper. It's the cat's meow for cutting thin letters at a small size. It keeps it's form even with glue, and, it shimmers lol. Rather than fuss with the dot for the "i" I just used a dot of stickles. Then i put some dots on the deoccorative element as well. I love the flip feature. I didn't have to load a second piece of paper for the decorative element, just the flip feature. Thanks for looking :D.
