The Sky's The Limit!

Hi everyone!  I hope you all had a great Memorial Day!  I have a simple card to show you today that I made yesterday.  I  made it for the Cricut Circle challenge but I missed the deadline, oops!

I used my Echo Park Paper (love it), Little Boy collection.  For my card base, I welded two scallop rectangles from Elegant Edges. The sun was cut from Just Because and the clouds are from  Zooballoo.  The airplane is a sticker that comes with EP paper collection.  I love it. So simple to make and it turned out really cute!

For the Kiddos! Blog Hop

Welcome to the For the Kiddos! Blog Hop hosted by Laura at Makin' Pretty Things. 
If you arrived from Anita's blog then you are headed in the right direction. If you stopped stopped by for a visit, click here to start at the beginning. This hop is all about kids...either a project for a kid or something you create with your child. I decided to make a child's birthday card.

I cut this cute little poodle from Create a Critter at 2.75".  The circle mat is from Sugar and Spice at 3.21".  For the pink mat I used my Martha Stewart Elegant cake art cartridge and deselected the aspect ratio link on my Gypsy so I could make two borders that were 2" x 5.5".  I flipped one and then welded them together.   The sentiment is from the Scrappy Moms Stamps set -  Amusing Animals.  If you have Create a Critter, then you need this stamp set....the sentiments are all so cute!

It wouldn't be a hop without some BLOG CANDY!
