Birthday Bytes

Hey, everybody, happy Friday! I want to start by thanking you all so much for all your support during the Lawn Fawn Hearts Cards For Kids Blog Hop on Wednesday and Thursday. Last I checked, I had 110 comments! Which is over a hundred more than usual.
I was totally amazed and touched and honored by all the love you wonderful ladies showed me. Thank you so very, very much. :o)

Moving on to today's card. This was actually made yesterday, but I didn't get a chance to post it until now. One of the guys in my Thursday night writer's group had a birthday this week, so I made him this card for the group to sign. He's into SciFi and robots and all that, so I thought this great image by Christy Croll would be perfect for him. Isn't it hilarious? I love that apple with the "bytes" taken out of it on the laptop.


I colored my image with Copics, too many to list tonight. I used some white Georgia Pacific cardstock as my base, folded it into a standard-sized card, then covered it in this gear patterned paper from Adorn It. I thought they looked festive. Almost like robot chinese lanterns, if you could imagine such a thing. ;o)


I needed this to be a birthday card though, so I stamped a cupcake and some balloons from a Bentley Bear set and popped all three images plus a Studio G sentiment up with dimensional adhesive. I drew some strings in for my balloons, rounded the corners with my We R Memory Keepers Corner Chomper, and called it a day.


I hope you like it! If you commented or participated in the Lawn Fawn blog hop, dont' forget to head back over to the Lawn Fawn blog tonight or tomorrow and check to see if you won one of Kelly Marie's great prizes. I'm crossing my fingers! I adore Lawn Fawn stamps and I want to own them all! They're so cute.

Have a great weekend!
