Pause Dream Enjoy Challenge Challenge #27

Happy Friday fellow bloggers!!  Today I have some exciting news to share with you.  I have been invited to join Janis and the Pause Dream Enjoy Challenge Design Team for the next term.  This Friday our challenge is "Sunset".  These challenges are great because they get me out of my comfort zone.  I used my cricut to make this card.  For the sun I used a circle from George and Basic Shapes.  The palm trees are from Life is a Beach.  The background paper is cloud paper from Joanns and I sponged on some darker blue and some pink to create the sunset look.  The sentiment is from Scrappy Moms Stamps and I hand drew the birds.  The sand was some older Creative Memories paper and I used their wavy trimmer to create the shape of the sand.  The cardstock is from Recollections.  
You can join in our challenge here by creating a project with a Sunset theme.  One lucky winner will receive a $5.00 gift certificate to Ginger Snap Scraps.

LEGO Rock Band Party!!

Well somehow my youngest dd's birthday always sneaks up on me!  I guess it is because it is the 1st of April (yes, she is an April Fool's kiddo:-)  and even though that is technically in April it is still smack at the beginning!  She wants to combine Legos and Rock Band so we are doing a Lego Rock Band party and these are her invites.   I made them today but they were not quick and easy.  There was quite a bit of glueing!  I got this great cut file for the drum set from http://amkscrap.blogspot.com/.  I made a few changes to the file but nothing difficult.

I found a Lego font and used that on part of the inside of the invitation.  The stamp on the front is from Heidi Grace but just doesn't stamp as well as I would like.
