There Is No Time Like The Present To Tell You.../Cutting Cafe

Good Morning Everyone...Happy Monday! I hope you had a wonderful weekend! Here's a birthday card I made for my brother in law using The Cutting Cafe's Clock Background Printable Stamp Set and the It's About That Time Set for the clock and sentiment. I had to make this card an odd size in order to make the panels line up properly. For the clock hands I used Spellbinder Timeless Heritage and set the time at 8:17...his birthday August 17th...pretty nifty wouldn't you say? It was my husbands idea so I really have to give him credit---

Here's The Recipe---

Card Size: 5 1/8" x 4 5/8"
Stamp/Image: Cutting Cafe-It's About That Time Printable Stamp Set

Sentiment: Cutting Cafe-It's About That Time Printable Stamp Set

Don't Forget I Love You-Cutting Cafe

Good Morning Everyone. I hope you had a great weekend. It was a busy one for me. My youngest son and daughter in law had a combined birthday party for my grandson Kenny Michael who turned 5 July 15th and the twins, Nathaniel and Jeremiah who will be 1 on July 26th. There were 38 people there so I don't have to tell you how crazy it was but it was nice to see people that we hadn't seen since the last family event. We had gorgeous weather and a good time was had by all! Here is a card I made for my husband's daughter that has had some issues going on in her life and I thought she needed to know that her dad loved her. The picture didn't turn out very clear and I couldn't understand why...we found out yesterday that the setting on the camera had been changed but since the card was already sent, I wasn't able to take another picture. I used the Cutting Cafe's Animal and Bug Mini Colored Circle Set. This is an awesome set that comes with 47 images. The word circles come in 2 sizes and the set also comes with each of the animals and bugs all by themselves. It also comes with the backgrounds and 9 solid color circles. How cool is that, Regina has done all the work for you. All you have to do is print, cut and embellish and it's done!!! I added a tag from The Valentine's Day Mini Word Set. For the back, I reduce the size of the elephant and added it to the Handmade Just For You Circle that Regina customized with my blog address that I recolored to match the paper---

Here's The Recipe---

Card Size: 4.25" x 4.25 Note Card
Stamp/Image: Cutting Cafe-Animal and Bug Mini Colored Circle Set
Tag Sentiment: Cutting Cafe-Valentine's Day Mini Words
Handmade Circle: Cutting Cafe-Handmade Just For You-Custom Circle Label
Nestibilities: Circle/Scallop
Punch: Stampin Up Jewelry, EK Scallop Corner
Accessories: Hand Dyed Seam Binding Ribbon, Glitter, Flat Back Pearls, Rain Dots/Hearts, Foam Pop Dots
Base Cardstock: Core'dination
Patterned Paper: Cutting Cafe-Animal and Bugs Mini Colored Circle Set (printed on Beckett Expression)
                                    
That's it for today. Thanks for stopping by, I hope you enjoy your visit. Because I haven't been on the Internet this weekend, I've not had a chance to visit my favorite blogs and I've got a TON on emails that have gone unanswered so be patient with me...I'll try to get caught up between today and tomorrow. Have a great day...I'll see you next time!
