Happy Friday! and
HAPPY BIRTHDAY JENNIFER!
Today I have a cute project for you... If you have been hopping along, then you have reached the end... sad, yes, but exciting because you get to see my adorable little card AND find out about some super exciting BLOG CANDY! Whooohoooo!
If you have just stopped by my blog to visit and want to participate in the hop, then go to Jennifer's Blog at the beginning... all of these wonderful ladies have come up with great & inspiring projects!
If you have been hopping along, then you have just come from Jessica's Blog!
So without further ado... My Little Turtle!
I used Pink Paislee's Soriee Line. I fell in love with this line... the colors and patterns are fabulous!!!
I made my turtle by stapling ribbon into little hoops and adhering them in layers to a piece of cardstock that I had cut into a turtle shell shape. The grass was made with a really cool tool... the Martha Stewart Fringe Scissors! There are four blades on these scissors, which allow you to cut four strips at a time... the possibilities are endless!
The outside of my card reads,
"Remember when it took forever for your birthday to get here?"
The inside reads,
"Now they come too fast! Happy Birthday!"
Now... for BLOG CANDY!
Jennifer has a HUGE GRAND PRIZE! Two Cricut Cartridges!
In order to be in the running for this fantastic prize you must have completed the blog hop and leave a comment on my blog stating this....
...and I have my own little happy to give away too... so in order to be in the drawing for my giveaway, I want you to leave a comment telling me your birthday and the best gift you ever received!
Please feel free to look around my blog and at my other projects... If you like what you seem then please follow me... I have a lot of fun in stored for the upcoming weeks!
On my 40th birthday my hubby gave me my scrapbooking room, which I love and my new Imagine. I could not be happier with both things. I love your card. Love what you did with the ribbon. Great idea! TFS!

Love this idea for the turtle with ribbon. Your creations are always so creative. The best birthday I ever had was three yrs ago when my daughter and husband gave me a 60th party. Everyone came with something to share about me. She even made a video of old photos. Really neat.

Great turtle- love the ribbon! As for my bday, 2yrs ago, my parents gave me a basic Cricut machine- I don't think they really knew what it was and honestly, at the time, I didn't either but I knew they were supposed to be cool. :)
ReplyDeleteGreat idea for your turtle, love it. My recent birthday gift that I love is the deep cutting blade for my Cricut that my son gave to me. I have completed the blog hop but am sad it is over. Thank you.

Very cute. I did a ribbon doll once but never a ribbon turtle...LOL. I finished the hop (even left a post on Jessica's blog although she didn't do anything for this hop that I found so I left it on her uncle's card as did others). My birthday is Oct. 15 and my best gift I ever received was last year in fact. I had a knock on my door and when I opened it my son was standing there. He said Happy Birthday mom. (He is in the Army). I haven't seen him in many months and he never told me he was coming because he wanted to surprise me.
