Fantabulous Cricut #44-Neglected Carts

***If you are looking for my Birthday GiveAway, click HERE! There's still time to enter!!***

Good Morning Crafty Friends,

Thank you for joining us today for another fun challenge at Fantabulous Cricut.  This week the challenge is to use a cartridge that you have forgotten all about.  To use a cartridge that you haven't used in over 6 months.

Well, this was not very hard for me at all.  If you are like me, you probably buy stuff all the time and don't have the time to use everything.  I bought the Sweet Treats cart over 6 months ago, and until now had never even opened it!! I know....it's pretty sad.  So I decided to make a birthday card for my mom who turned 59 on the 20th.  Happy Birthday Mom!! Hope you like it...

The card, the sentiment and the 59 were all cut with Sweet Treats.
I used Sizzix Baby Daisy Texturz for the embossing.
I added stickles for the flames (maybe I should have used red?)

The flower is a mix of Prima and Recollections. 

What a great challenge to make you pull out those poor forgotten carts! Also, don't forget to head on over to FCCB to check out all of the fun projects from our amazing and talented designers.  Can't wait to see what you create!

Challenges I will be entering:
My Pink Stamper: It's my birthday
Paper Cutz: Any theme
