21st Birthday card (last minute)

Hi everyone hope you've had a great day,
I certainly have i got an award from Poppet and tagged by Elaine all in the same day will have to have a think on the tag and sort it in a bit as i have been busy making this card only just been asked to make it this evening by my dh for his sisters daughter Emma how could we forget i mean 21 its a milestone and there's no excuses :(
Anyway here is the card
The stripe paper from k & company, the numbers are cut on my cricut with george and basic shapes cartridge and the rest from my stash i have attached the stars to acetate strips and mounted the circle with foam pads so when you move it the stars flutter about, the pink card is pearlised but this does not show on the pic (although the acetate shows more on the pic than in real life) and i have done faux stitching around the card and numbers. I hope she likes it :)
Thanks for taking the time to look Val xxx

Halloween Challenges

Hi all, Hope you all had a great weekend:0)

This is my very first halloween card ever and i have managed to get it into 2 challenges this week the Papertake Weekly Challenge and A Spoonfull of Sugar Challenge both of them have halloween theme.

The papers and pumpkins i have used are a fabulous free download from Summer Driggs called Happy Halloween-2.

The spiders are from the cricut cartridge doodlecharms.

Sentiment done on the pc, the larger spider is attached to the back of sentiment with black wire so he is able to wriggle about and i have used sukura stardust pens to add a little sparkle and i added some black velvet ribbon.

Now i have to make another one as i need one each for my two youngest grandchildren this one is for my grandaughter and you will never guess her name............. so i am gonna have to tell you its.............Spiderlouise unusual or what lol.
