Birthday Card Using Cricut Life Is A Beach Cartridge

DT Project For Tammy's Scrapin Corner Challenge #56 - April Fool or Funny Birthday.

FREE CANDY - ADD YOUR LINK AT TOP OF MY BLOG 

Hi to all you fellow creators in Blog land!  I have been so busy trying to get ready for taxes; which I am sure many of you are in the same boat this time of year.  It is very stressful.  I hope I have better bookkeeping this year so it will be easier for me next year.  The weather has been awesome with the feeling of Spring and I have been stuck inside.  
It is time for another fabulous challenge at Tammy's Scrapin Corner Challenge 56 -  April Fool's or Funny Birthday.  I can't wait to see what everyone creates for this one.  Our sponsors are SK Digis and Deasy Designs.  Our Guest Designer this week is Bunny; so be sure to check out her blog to see all her beautiful creations.  If you would like to be a Guest Designer; please add GDT behind your name when you enter.  It is a lot of fun to have your card featured; even if you don't think it is good enough.  
I chose SK Digis "Goldfish with sentiment"; which I love.  I have to admit I thought this one would be easy for me; but I was wrong.  This was a major challenge.  I couldn't get anything to look the way I wanted; so I when I found this ocean reef cardstock - I went with it.  I know it was sort of the easy way out; but I added to it by using the Cricut Life Is A Beach cartridge.  I hope you enjoy it.

  17. Thanks for popping over today and becoming a follower, and the invite to your blog candy. Unfortunately, I won't be able to get any of the tangible goodies but maybe I'll be lucky enough to pick up a digi.

    Lisa

    p.s. Vicky forgot to put a one beside her name. She is a Canuck like me so I thought I'd let you know but given that you are on the same team you probably already do know in which case just completely disregard this entire paragraph.

    1. Thanks Lisa. I appreciate you letting me know. I know Vicky and Desire are not in US; so I will remember them since they are on the DT at Tammy's Scrapin Corner. Originally I was only doing US and then I felt bad because I have so many followers outside US that I sent out emails to get help with some digis for those winners. I am still waiting to hear back from a couple others. Have a fabulous day!! Hugs, Gloria
