Birthday card using Mini Monograms

I made this simple card for my oldest niece. She turned 25 today. She is a member of a sorority and she loves the colors red and white. I used Mini Monograms for the scallop and circle and a stamp from ki memories for the elephant. The white cardstock is Papertrey Ink and the red cardstock is from walmart. I used the swiss dots cuttlebug folder to emboss just half of the red layer, then used a sentiment from a Hero Arts stamp set that I purchased from Micheals. The ribbon is from walmart as well. Hope she really likes it.

Robyn's Pinkalicious Blog Hop Challenge!

This is my entry to the Pinkalicious Blog Hop with Robyn @ My Pink Stamper.com. You have to make something Spring. I love Spring! My kids love the warmer weather that Spring brings, but the one thing that my 4 yr old hates is bugs! (lol). I used the create a critter cart to make this cute bug that she surely will like :) Hope you like it as well.

I used the Stamping Solutions cart because I rarely cut with it and I'm really trying to get some use out of the carts that I already own. This cart is full of cute shapes and sentiments. Hope you like it and please feel free to comment.

I won this fabulous prize from Sharon at http://www.meemeescreations.blogspot.com during the Sensational Scenes blog hop! Please check out her blog. She is super talented.

I also found the Zutter bind it all at Tuesday Morning yesterday for 49.99! The one pictured is blue, but they are selling the pink one in a bundle with o-rings and several packages of chipboard. I've been wanting one for awhile, but for this bundle , I couldn't resist:)
