Alessa's 1st Birthday Box Car

I used a Lori Whitlock file from the Silhouette Store and added a few bits to it.  It took 3 and a half hours to cut and assemble. It was too thick to fit in the envelope so I used a gusseted envelope I also found in the Silhouette Store.  It was a different pattern but had the oranges and greens in it.  The spotty paper is "My Mind's Eye" and the card stock "Core'dinations"  I didn't have any gold glitter card for the star so I spray adhesived a yellow star and used a very fine gold glitter.  The little flower buttons were from Ebay and the gems from my stash.

Happy Crafting

On back burner

My crafting has been on the back burner a bit due to weddings and illness but I made 3 cards yesterday and 1 unfinished one. The materials were mostly included with this months "" magazine.  The cardstock is gold shimmer card from create and craft and the gems from my stash.

This is the unfinished one now finished.  I added two pearl headed pins to the bow and some gems.
