Happy Birthday Hamster

Hello all!  

I'm taking a break from the A Cut Above class (even though I did use my Silhouette) to create a birthday card for a my friend's daughter who is turning 3 this weekend.  

My husband thinks we are ridiculous...  

that my friend & I are essentially making cards for each other.  

Well, he might be right but I'm hoping Rachel will like it!  

Oh my gosh, every time I stamp with this little Paper Smooches Hamster, I get giddy.  

Honestly, I don't know if a cuter stamp even exists!  He is SO stinkin' cute!  

I used my Silhouette to cut the polaroid window and then masked the background to stamp the dots (Paper Smooches Primary) and the clouds (Hero Arts).  I also added the Hero Arts Enelope pattern to the grass just to fill in the blank spaces.  

I love the way the masking in the polaroid turned out!  

I'm actually finding myself really enjoying masking. 

:)  

The hamster is from Paper Smooches Party Posse and the pennants are from Paper Smooches Hang Ups.  

I went to the Paper Smooches Sparks inspiration photos and found this Sparks challenge that I somehow never played in.... WHAT? How did I miss one?!?!

Thanks for stopping by and have a great day!
