2 year Old Card and Winners!

Happy Wednesday to you all, normally I would say YAY! that it was Wednesday, but this week, no, it means that my holidays are nearing the end and having to head back to work...boo!  But I do plan on making the most of the next few days..

Now, before I announce the winners of the Twine giveaway, I want to share a quick card that I created for my friend to give to a 2 year old...in fact she has asked me to create 7, 2 year old card in total, so you might be seeing some of these over the next couple of weeks..

I trimmed Spring Rain, orange and white card stock, with the Spring Rain card stock, I trimmed a card, ran a couple of pieces through my Cuttlebug, with 1 cutting a number 2 with the By the Numbers die and with the other piece creating a rosette by using the Tim Holtz die, I punched 2 orange circles out and adhered both of these to the rosette to hold it together.  With the white card stock, I trimmed a piece slightly smaller then the card front and embossed it using the Sunshine Impression Plate, with the other piece of white card stock, I cut out a die using the Mat Stack 3 die...I stamped a matching stamp over the die cut with some orange ink,  I added a sentiment to the die cut and set aside.  I added stamping to the number 2 with some polka dots, from the Polka Dot Basics 2 stamp set.  I then assembled all the card together, adding dimension where needed using foam dimensionals.

I think I need to use this rosette a lot more, it makes such a statement on a card...

Okay, I won't keep you in suspense any longer, the 2 winners of the Twine are:

From Barb's blog post.....

Anita and Karen if you could both contact me with your shipping details....

I just want to thank everyone for leaving both Barb and I wonderful, sweet comments, we hope that we inspired you over our 3 day event...you have all been so kind...thank you so much...

Before I leave...I thought that I would share a couple of photo's of our dear Roly boy...these days he hates having his photo taken, when he sees me pick up that camera, the cheeky boy just turns his head, so the only way for me to get kinda a good photo is to hold his favourite treat in one hand and take a photo with the other...LOL..

I hope you all have a wonderful night!

Joy... this is one wonderful card....so clean and graphic looking. I've never been a fan of rosettes but this one looks so good on this card. And your little furbaby is so sweet.

What a precious card! Love the colors combination and I really like how the rosette sets off the number so well. Roly is cute and very much like my granddaughter-she hates the camera and instantly turns her head...maybe I need to find a favorite treat and see if that trick will work for her! LOL! Congrats to the twine winners:)

I love that huge number 2 and the gorgeous impression plate you used! Stunning card! Oh, I can see the ridge on Roly's back now, we also have a Rhodesian Ridgeback, her name is Sahara!
