Surprise!  It's Marcia! Cari convinced me to bring some cards over and post them on our web site.  So here are some new ideas to try.  On this first card, I used scraps of paper, taped them together and ran them through the Cuttlebug (what a great toy).  Then I added a birthday cupcake.  The "icing" of the cake is printed paper which tied into all of the colors on the card.

On the second card, I decided to stitch the stem for the flower and added a piece of ribbon under the stitch to form the leaves.  The leaves are a little droopy from storing them in a bag.  You could use a glue dot to position the leaves upward.
