MeMa's Scrapbooking: Jitterbuggin Challenge

My Scrapbooking History

I began scrapbooking about 4 years ago with a group of women who I view as real pro's! Their pages were just beautiful and I was so proud when I pasted with a glue stick a few pictures onto a page, added a couple of stickers and thougth I had created a masterpiece! Then I realized how much more to scrapbooking there was to learn! Over the years I have added many new techniques to my collection of scrapbooking necessities. My favorite technique is using my Cricut Expression machine! Anything is possible with a Cricut and a few cartridges. I am always looking for new cartridges and have found the best buys at Cricutmachine.com and Ebay.com. I check out what is new on the Cricut website then start my bargain searches! I have made many scrapbooks for friends and enjoy designing pages with new themes in each book. I hope you will join my blog and enjoy some of my work!

Jitterbuggin Challenge

Morning All! I just got back from a long scrapbooking weekend and here it is the weekend again already! I am working on cards this week and here is my entry in the Jitterbuggin Challenge for this week. I had to use rick rack, make it a birthday card and follow the sketch:

I used green cardstock, striped paper that I inked in chocolate brown. The birthday blessings message was cut using my Cricut machine as well as the pink heart. I also inked the edges of the pink heart and the pink backing paper behind the brown. I added a triple layer of paper cut flowers with an enamel brad. A few little happiness lines with Distressed White Stickles and a sparkly pink ribbon rick rack completed the card.
