Bethie's Belated Birthday!

Ok, so it took a while for me to get this card to my friend for her birthday (in my defense, I was not home on her birthday--National Scrapbook Day!!!), so I could not share it until I did, lol!  I finally succeeded with delivery today and am excited to share this one.  It is a different color scheme than I am used to--and THAT was my personal challenge to myself.  I began with the Dotty for You paper pack...remember, it is ONLY available for a limited time now...when May is gone, so is Dotty!  {cry, cry}

~ I cut the card out of Colonial White cardstock on my Cricut Expression from my trusty Art Philosophy cartridge.

~Other CTMH supplies I used:  Basic Button assortment, Evergreen Color-ready Corkboard Shapes (star), Paradise Assortment Baker's Twine, Stamp of the Month for January 2012 called Little Reminder, Sunset, Grey Wool and Black Exclusive Ink Pad, February Stamp of the Month 2012 Thoughtful Tidings,  and the Typeset Workshop-on-the-Go Stamp Set.  See the chipboard circle that has the calendar numbers stamped on it?  It is one of the scraps left over from the My Originals Sweet Surprises Card Kit.  Don't throw those away!  They fit perfectly for this use!  ;)

Happy Belated Birthday, Bethie!!!  ;)
