Happy Birthday

WOW, can you believe it is already Sept 1st?

I know it isn't fall yet, but it soon will be.

I just hate the thought of summer leaving so soon....

but Sept 1st also brings us to a new challenge theme

at the Dies R Us challenge blog.

We want to see all your RED~WHITE~BLUE creations.

I used the cutest die  Cheapo Dies Pirate Octopus.

I die cut him from white card stock then ran him through my Big Shot.

I really like the texture it gave him.

The hat and patch were die cut from a navy blue card stock and red card stock.

I placed a scrap of red behind his mouth and gave him a google eye.

The background scalloped squares were die cut using

Tutti Designs Scalloped Stitched Nesting Squares.

Happy Birthday was die cut using 

Tutti Designs Word Set Happy 

and

Tutti Designs Word Set Birthday

The word Matey is computer generated and die cut with a small oval from

Tutti Designs Scalloped Stitched Nesting Ovals.

I dotted the i on birthday with Nuvo Crystal Drops Gloss Midnight Blue

and then added random dots.

Here is a list and links for all products used.
