Busy Birthday Month!

Hey everyone!

October is a very busy month, as far as birthdays go.  So today I have three birthday cards to share!

 This first one, is on a Recollections Corrugated Card Base (love those!):
The pretty rose paper is from Crete Paper, and the flower in the corner is a K & Co Embellishment.  I came with leaves which I cut off, and added the leaves seen here.  I just liked them better.  The others just looked real cheesy-fake! (lol)   I then stamped Happy Birthday, and cut it into a banner shape, and gave it a little curve when I adhered it down.
 Here is the inside:
 Another one of the embellishments, (which I left the leaves on this one) and put it on top of a half-doily.

Here is card #2:
 For this one, I used paper from a DCWV stack (which the name escapes me right now!) It's flocked though, and gorgeous!!  Then I used the Tim Holtz dress form die (from The Sewing Room) and the paper on the dress form, is from a Melody Ross stack. (If anyone wants to know the actual names, I can look them up, no problem, just ask!!)  I then added some Rick Rack to the waist, and a tiny pearl necklace.
Here is the inside:
 I used the same paper from the dress form on the front, for the background on the inside.  So it would matchy-match. And the Happy Birthday sentiment, (I believe) is from the TPC Studios Stamp set that I use all the time!

And here is the final card for today:
 I really like this one!  I used a CC Designs Stamp for my image.  Colored her up, and fussy-cut her out. Oh! And when I was trimming her out, I accidentally gave her a major hair cut!! EEK!  I chopped off the entire bottom of her pigtail! (oops!  Blind people shouldn't use scissors!!)  So luckily, I was able to just glue it down and you can't tell that I made an oopsie!  (at least...I HOPE you can't!)  Then, I put her sitting on/in a Polaroid frame, (which I designed on my Gypsy and cut out on my Cricut)  And I think it turned out so cute!  I then added some Prima flowers in the bottom corner, added some bling rhinestones, and the same Birthday sentiment in a banner shape.  Oh, and the paper used is from the DCWV Birthday Stack 6x6.
Here is the inside:
 More of the same papers, a couple banners, and a space to write the note. 

I hope you like my cards today!! (I actually made these like, 3 weeks ago! Just haven't felt well enough to post!)  Leave me a comment, and let me know what you think!

Have a GREAT day!
