Throwback Challenge!

This is a card I made for Emma's Throwback Challenge.

When I saw this was a  "throwback" challenge I immediately went back into my childhood and when I saw this cut out it reminded me of the most frustrating game I have ever played back in elementary school: The Oregon Trail! Maybe you are familiar with it...or maybe your kids are...if not, click on the link for some information.

It was so frustrating because I always died. I was a very poor hunter and I always died of a broken arm or dysentery. So I thought what a great way to wish someone a happy birthday than with Dysentery!

For this challenge I had to use Paper Doll Dress Up ( which I just got for $19.99 at Michaels this week!) Had to be an altered or 3-d object. I altered a blank red card and made the image 3-d with some pop dots.

Card Front:  I would be so sad if....

Inside: You died of Dysentery. Happy Birthday.

Dream.

This is a quick quick card I made for the My Creative Time Throwback Challenge. Was too late to enter but thought I would share.

Had to use red, brown and blue.

Achieve Your Goals

This was a card I made for my friend JJ who just graduated with his masters! The card is from a template I found and then I created an .svg out of it in illustrator. I then went to his school's webpage found an image of the mascot, imported it into illustrator, tweaked it so it was all one image and then cut both the cap and the bronco out in SCAL2.

The wording is from We R Memory Keepers glitter, foil and flock kit: Explore. You can't see in the picture but I rubbed an iridescent glitter sheet over the splatter and wording. LOVE LOVE LOVE these kits and I got a great deal on them at TJ Max recently.

Thanks for stopping by,

Mike.

I don't recommend making a card like this if you have OCD. Trying to line everything up drove me insane. However, really loved the final card. Will play around with this theme some more in the future.

This was another quick card I made using create a critter and a Martha Stewart Thank-You card kit. Really like the dimensional aspects on this one.
