For Jo's birthday I wanted to make a card that is original, cute and above all else, funny. I hope this puts a smile on her face! I used the Create a Critter cartridge and let my imagination do the rest. To get a better view of this card click on the picture to enlarge.

Happy Birthday from all of us Jo!

The original and unique thing about this card was that I wanted texture for the little path the turtle is walking by but I didn't have anything to give the effect of gravel. So what did I use? Bird cage liner. That's right, after all it is paper! lol! I did distress the edges with a little brown ink to give it a more realistic look.  I hope you like my little critters birthday card. I had a lot of fun making it!

 

How about some candy? Now I know we are all told not to take candy from strangers so that being said if you become a follower here we won't be strangers and you could win this awesome candy!

 

 

Just in time for Halloween you can win four stamps and Stickles Black and Orange for just leaving a comment and following! A winner will be chosen on Monday, Sept. 12th.  (If you already follow me, thank you so much, you're awesome!) ;)

 

I hope you enjoyed the hop! Please don't forget to hop on back to Jo, wish her a happy birthday, and link up your blog/email on Mr. Linky. Thanks for stopping in and have a great week!

p.s. This is the first hop I've participated in so I want to also say thank you to Jo for allowing me to be in the fun! Also, I hope I didn't mess up but if I did I always blame my husband so it's his fault! (ha ha, he knows I love him)! ;)
