Birthday Card - Step Centre Card - Using Cricut Art Philosophy Cartridge

DT Project for Tammy's Scrapin Corner Challenge #43 - Step Centre Card.

Hi fellow bloggers/crafters/friends.  It has been cold here in Southern CA at night; but nice during the day.  I hope you are having good weather wherever you are; or at least having fun and enjoying your life. 
 
Come join another great week for Tammy's Scrapin Corner Challenge #43 - Step Centre Card.  Our sponsors this week are Paper Makeup Stamps and Sassy Studios.  I hope you take the time to check out the beautiful creations by the DT.  We have some incredible talent.  If you would like to be a Guest Designer, put GDT after your name when you enter. Pick and choose from our Bingo board for items you want to use on your card and then enter it at Tammy's Scrapin Corner.
 
I chose Paper Makeup Stamps - "Wayne Fairy" and created a birthday card for my grandson.  I had originally planned to give him the scarecrow card I made; but when I started this one - I just knew it belonged to Jayden. 
 
My daughter later told me he loves to play on the bales of hay at my brothers house; which I wasn't aware of until the card was finished.  The little fairy even looks like Jayden.   I added their newest addition to their family - Gizmo.  My daughter sent me a picture and I tried to color Gizmo based on his picture.  He looks much better than my little dog; but I tried.  He is actually a long haired white Pomeranian mix with golden hair color splattered here and there.
 
I used a tutorial from Desire - Doing Life blog for the buttons.  Go to her blog and scroll down, click on "Older Posts" and then go to April 23, 2012 for the tutorial.
