Put Your Best Face Forward!!

 Happy Galentines day to my female followers!!

No I don't have a Galentines or Valentines card to show you (never thought about making one of them) but I do have one for our NEWd challenge at Shopping Our Stash, put your best face forward and what that means is put a HUMAN face on your project. 

Well the AI Girlfriends faces are the most recognizable I have in my stash, and I have lots and love them all. Now I started out with colouring my image and when done I was sorting through some scraps of cardstock and well what did I spy but a 3D embossed floral background and in the same pile was the Happy Birthday to You die cut, BONUS!! don't you love it when the universe aligns things for you?

I added the perfect sentiment to go with the image on the front and layered it on, Yes, another scrap of turquoise cardstock from that pile, I cut it with the postage stamp die to use on the front but saw the embossed piece, well wasn't going to put it back into the "pile" so I used it on the inside. 

I am adding this to:

Birthday, Brads and a Butterfly

Hello and welcome to Shopping Our Stash's 490 post going "Back In Time" to challenge 49 and repeat it, Anything starting with a "B" so I went with Birthday and Brads and added a super cuter Butterfly to round the "B's" off. I shopped my stash as the brads are ones I got/bought when I was on the Eyelet Outlet Blog in 2017, The papers were all scraps, even the sentiment was one I stamped and set aside. 

As I said everything was a scrap, most was from a card I started and changed my mind. The HB die was cut 3 times, one in heavier cardstock, I added the b&w butterfly to tie in the black layer. All brads are from the Eyelet Outlet 

I added the birthday candle brad to the I in Birthday. Isn't that butterfly pretty.

Finished the inside with a favourite  sentiment and a scrap of patterned paper. 

As I set up to take the photo of my card Toto decided to have an afternoon bath on my chair, I almost sat on her she was so quiet. 

since I used snippits I'm adding this to:
