I am Having Some Birthday Fun Today

Good Morning,
 
Not only is today my Exploring Cricut Design Team day, but it is my birthday. I am feeling quite content, especially after I had a student tell me I only looked 25 yesterday. I guess we do not all look like crypt keepers to 9 year olds. : ) What are the plans? Olive Garden and going to pick out a bicycle. Then  I might actually get a little more time to craft. Oh, how I have missed the paper, the gems, the buttons, the dies...
 
Here is my Exploring Cricut project...
I have been wanting to use a cow to make a card for some time, but have never found the right reason.   


Materials:
KI paper ~ Over the Rainbow collection (Leafy and Inkjyet)
black, white, and kraft card stock
Create a Critter Cricut cartridge ~ cow (p. 60) cut at 3" and balloons (p. 30) cut at 2" and 2 1/4"
wiggly eyes
Peapod twine
green gems
white buttons
Spellbinders ~ Beaded Ovals
My Pink Stamper birthday stamp ~ Itty Bitty-licious
Versafine Onyx Black ink
 
Challenges:
 
Remember to stop by Exploring Cricut for the new challenge on Monday.
 
Stay Creative,
Georgiana
