Vegas Baby!

Our 26th wedding anniversary was on December 27th.  Most years we go to Las Vegas for our anniversary, but this year there was just too much going on that we will have to wait till sometime in January, we love to go to Vegas.  So since we were not going on our anniversary I made my hubby this card.  It came out so cute, I love it and hope you think the same.

Wow, looking at it I used a lot of cartridges to create this card, well 5 that is a lot for me on one card.  The background starry night paper is from an outdoor stack I bought for making guy cards, but it fit perfectly here.  The "Vegas" is from the Tie the Knot cartridge and using Cricut Craft Room I welded the word "baby: from A Child's Year cartridge and sparkly glitter paper.  The Las Vegas sign is from the cartridge Destinations, I cut it in several layers using a shinny holographic like paper for the skyline, and pop dotted the sign.  The rode I cut using the My Community cartridge, it was a freebie I got way back when I got my first Expression, but there are so many useful images on it.
Then I chose the 57 Chevy from the Nifty Fifties cartridge because my hubby had one this exact color when he was younger....................oh so many many years ago ha-ha!  I even added a small heart sticker to the back fender.  This whole card fell together so well for me, you know sometimes you picture something in your head and it just does not work on paper, well this one did.  Yeah!
Here is how I finished the inside.  Although the outside of the card is a bit fun and I go with a mussy inside as my hubby does ever so much for me and probably 90% of the housework because I can't due to a spinal cord issue.  He is so wonderful and never complains, not even when I buy more stuff I "have" to have, LOL.
Well thanks so much for stopping by, would love to hear what you think of my card.
And a very very Happy New Year to all!

Way to Go Card..........

..............Beep Beep.  I think this card came out so cute.  I made it following a sketch on the Cricut message board, where we had to follow a sketch and use some old supplies that we had.  I think I have had the little car brads over a couple of years.

The roads are cut from the My Community cartridge and then I added a piece of yellow paper behind the black.  The Way To Go was cutting using the George cartridge which was my first cartridge when I got my first Cricut.  The blue background is a Cuttlebug folder from the Boys will be Boys package which I sanded so the white shows through.   The yellow paper was printed using my Imagine.
I am so glad that you really can't tell which is the front and which is the back of the cars, LOL that way I didn't have to worry about putting them in the right direction.

Thanks for taking the time to leave me a comment. I love to read them, besides that way I knew you were here to take a peak.
