Sweet 16 Card

Woohoo for Friday. Friday is absolutely my favority fave!!!! Soccer and baseball are beginning to wind down. I feel like we have been moving at full speed for two months. I was able to make a card for my niece who is turning 16 on Monday. I was able to make it last night, because baseball was cancelled! My niece plays softball on two maybe three teams, so I wanted to have a little softball lady on my card.

I cut the little lady from Cricut Decal Cartridge (the cartridge that came with the E2). I did have to cut her out three different times as I wanted the little lady to be white and I wanted her to have brown hair and a brown glove. Her team shirt had to be maroon, so I cut her, white, brown and maroon @ 3.25.
I had to use the Perfect pearls, I just love them and it gives it a feminine touch. And you will be happy to know, I didn't touch them ALL night and they dried nicely!!

There is a close up of the little lady. I was looking for google eyes, I couldn't find mine. Dawn couldn't find hers either, but she came over with these blue little blings and sure enough my niece has blue eyes, so perfect touch!! Thanks, Dawn!! I cuttlebugged her little shirt and glove.

Sweet is from Graphically Speaking on pg 40. It actually says Sweet Girl, I cut off the girl. 16 is cut from George and the Basic Shapes. I used the strips of paper from my cut outs of the little lady!

Thanks for stopping by!! I hope everyone has a fantabulous weekend!!!

PASTEL WEEK - day 2

Here is my take on the pastel weeks. This is a picture of my almost 16 year son, who is 5"10!! Freaks me out he was so little. When he was little, he was in Kelly's daycare, and this picture was taken by Kel while he was with her. It was a great feeling knowing my son was well taken care of and loved!!! For this I started with StampinUP cardstock and used a 2" square punch for all the squares. The paper is DCWV Nana's kids, they are pastel yellows, blues and greens.

Here is a close up of the title, I layered it in blue and then ran it through the cuttlebug, swiss dots. I think I cut this from George and the Base Shapes. I cute the parenthesis using Core'dinations paper, and I sand papered that and inked as well.
