Hi Everyone,

Today is my birthday-- I am taking the day off designing anything. My family came out to celebrate with us.
If you are looking for the Old school Cartridge Blog Hop, it is on Fridays post. It should be a lot of fun. The hop is for the 5-6 so just hop away. Enjoy. There are a lot of great designers there.

In keeping with the blog hop I made this card from beyond birthdays an older cartridge.

Welcome to DL.ART and the Old School Cartridges Blog Hop!
If you've come from visiting Holly- at ( http://recycled-genius.blogspot.com ), you're in the right place! If you've just happened across my blog and would like to play along with our fun hop, you can go to http://www.inkingitupcrazy.blogspot.com and start at the beginning. We would love to share a few projects and ideas with you using the older cricut cartridges.  So get ready for some super fun projects and some fun giveaways along the way!  After you have finished the hop, be sure to head on back to INKING IT UP CRAZY (http://www.inkingitupcrazy.blogspot.com) and create and link up a project of your own using one of your older cartridges.  (The older the better;)
Make sure to check out each member's blog. There will be some fun prizes along the way, AND there will be some AWESOME ideas!

This is an A7 card

I used a Fiskars texture plate for the embossing.
I used DCWV  glitter stack for the stars
for the silver on the ribbon and the Happy Birthday I used recollections precious metals from Michael's. For the blue I used DCWV basic card stock stack. I rounded the corners with the corner rounder chomper.
It was a very easy card to make. Leave all comments for the blog candy on  this post-
Look on  tomorrow's post though, because I have used this cartridge again, to make another card.


BLOG CANDY: YES  look above  25 yards of each color- that is 100 YARDS I love this stuff I have been using this for the last few cards and I'm going to get more, but I liked it so much I thought I would share it with all of you, so one lucky winner will be randomly drawn on Aug 9th-- You can leave comments on this post until the 8th @ 12:00 AM PST
