NASCAR Experience B-Day Card...

Addicted to NASCAR or perhaps there's a wonderful man in your life who is?
Well we are and for my DH's 50th, I bought him a NASCAR experience at Auto Club Speedway, where he'll learn to drive a real NASCAR all on his own.  Naturally I needed a super fun Birthday card to go with his gift.  I instantly remembered this cute little monster digi, I colored in a Copic class given by Michelle Houghton and thought he'd be an excellent place to begin. I added the checkered flags, to make the little cutie race ready ;) 

Here's my DH's 50th Birthday card...  I hope you like it!

My 1st Magazine Publication... Awesome Reusable Tags!

Hi Everyone!

Yes it's true, I've been published in Cricut Magazine® Cards Idea Book Dec 2013 and I'm so excited to finally be able to share the news with my crafty friends. 

It's a project I'd posted previously, some of you may remember.  I was asked to pull it from all websites for a certain amount of time and now I am able to share it again :):):)

Here's another 1st.... A video about my tags.

Awesome Reusable Tags:

Tags and flowers were created in CCR and cut using my Cricut Expression with Art Philosophy cartridge.

Inks, stickles & rock candy crackle paints by Tim Holtz. Tattered Angles (for shimmer)

Vintage seam binding ribbon.

Sewing, ball chain, eyelet, background rubber stamp.

For the reusable pocket, I cut up an Avery brand, protector sheet and sewed it on. 

You can also add rhinestones or brads in the center of your flowers, instead of stickles, for a different look.

Wishing you a super fun & artistic day!

Hugs,
