happy 50th birthday

Goodmorning everyone.

Just a quick post this morning to show off the birthday card that i made for a friend who is turning 50 today. I designed it myself and used the silhouette to cut it.
The background paper is Paris&Co from My Minds Eye. I wanted to keep it simple so the '50' would come out better and I'm pretty pleased with it.

Have a nice day

Hi everyone,
What a great week it's been. On tuesday I got my long awaited Silhouette Cameo as well as the new magnolia stamps I ordered. So after playing around and practicing with my cameo, I came up with the following card.

The stamps are from the Magnolia summer memories collection and I had this old paperpad still laying around. The palmtree and the border were cut with the silhouette. It was one of my first tries and I'm pretty pleased with the outcome. Unfortunately I forgot to make a note of the markers I used.

I'd like to enter this card in the following challenge:
cute card thursday (one for the boys).

Have a nice weekend
