Birthday Hamster

     Well good Friday morning peeps!  We've gone from a couple of days of spring temps with howling winds to early 30's this morning.  What a crazy winter.  I sure could use some fur like this little guy to keep me warm.  LOL  

     It's the first Bellarific Friday of March which means the DT is showcasing the new "Stamp of the Month".  For March it's Mo Manning's adorable Birthday Hamster.  You can get him anytime this month for 20% off.

     Last weeks challenge was to use washi tape or ribbon on your project.  I have to admit I got so caught up in making the card that I forgot the theme.  That little ribbon bow on the button saved me.

     This is my first attempt at making a shaker card and boy was it challenging.  Making the shaker was easy, but I made it hard.  First off I only put one layer of foam tape which just wasn't letting the sequins shake well at all so I had to try to peel the image back off and add more tape.  That stuff is sticky and it was peeling off paper.  Finally got it off and added more tape.  Put it back on only to remember that I was suppose to use some white gel pen for the sprinkles on the cupcake so I had to try to peel it off again.  Grrrr!!!!  Leave it to me to make a very simple process hard.  Hopefully next time I'll be more organized.  LOL
