Scrapping4Fun - #33 Birthday

Happy New Year!  I hope everyone is staying warm.  It got a bit chilly here today, 12 degrees early this morning, which is freezing in the south...lol.  I'm from Illinois originally, but I don't handle the cold as well as I use to.  I've been down south too long.

Well, we have a great challenge for you at Scrapping4fun!  We want to see Birthday projects from our crafty friends for the next 2 weeks.  I will admit, I made a card and was not happy with it, so I made another.

Here's the little birthday card I made.  I bought this image last year from Crafter's Companion, it's called Cherry on Top from Angelica & Adam Collection.  It's a cute little collection! I tried to go with a flower theme since there were flowers on the cupcake wrapper.  The little lace even looks to have flowers too. 

I colored the image with water and regular color pencils.  With all that pink, it makes it look very girly.

 Here's the inside of the card.

I thought I would share the first card I made.  The one I'm not overly thrilled about.  There's just something about it, just doesn't seem right.  Maybe I'm being over picky...lol.

 thanks for looking and reading :o)
