Rainy Day Card

Have any of you had those rainy days that are a little bit rough?  I thought this would be a great card for those that have a tough day and need some cheering up.

I really love how this card turned out.  I used blue chalk and chalked up the edges of the clouds which gives them a fluffy/soft look.

 I also sewed lines from the clouds to my rain drops to make it look like they were falling.  You can really tell when you look up close but it is harder to tell from further away.

I really like this card.  Simple but detailed.

Well, I really need to stock up on different Birthday cards.  There were so many Birthdays in the family over the last couple months that I ran out. 

Sad to say... This is not one of my favorite cards.  There are definetly some things I would do differently the next time around.  For one, I would have popped my balloons up and made sure the baker's twine was behind the balloon. I don't know why I glued the balloons down first. Oh well, craftting isn't perfect and it is still pretty cute.

This card makes me want to be a kid again and play in my red wagon all summer long!  We had so many great times in our red wagon when I was a kid.

For some reason this card makes me think of that song a little bit.  I will be attending a shower at work for one of the most adorable people I know.  She will be tying the knot the first part of August so I wanted to make her a card.  I was trying a different color approach, stretch my creativity, and it turned out pretty cute.

Front of the card.  Lots of layers = Lots of Fun!

This was such a cute quote I couldn't help but put it in! Kids do say the darndest things!  Sometimes I wish I could be like that; say what is on your mind and people think it is cute and funny.  Good thing we have kids to say what we think!

Not that I would share my cricut toys... I get protective over my toys!  My hubby has used my cricut a couple of times and I find myself "supervising" the whole thing just to make sure my cricky is going to be alright.

Silly I know.
