Nicolette's Birthday Bash | Day 1~Remember the Magic

HAPPY BIRTHDAY Nicolette!!! Welcome to Nicolette's Birthday Bash Blog Hop! 

This is a two-day Disney themed blog hop celebrating my blog-friend Nicolette's birthday! If you arrived here by chance, you can start at the top with Nicolette's Blog Beyond Scrappin'. If you came from Cheryl's Blog, you are in the right spot!

For today's post I give you a card...wishing Nicolette a Happy Birthday and reminding her to "Remember the Magic" [you can insert your own "magic" on the inside! For example "...when you were younger!" "....when birthdays were princess parties!"] Whatever silliness you can come up with!
To create this card I found an AMAZING digital artist that made this set and is offering it for F R E E!! This is perfect for scrapbooking [she has some quick layouts too], card making, hybrid and digital paper crafting! I printed the two background papers out separately and trimmed them out and inked them. The center piece I built in my Microsoft Publisher, adjusting the size of each element, stacking and centering it and printing it as one square piece. To create extra shine on the mouse silhouette, I added crystal lacquer! This was a super fun and easy card! Be sure to give the designer some love too! Thank you for stopping by! I hope you enjoyed my card!

As this is a two-day hop, please come back tomorrow and I will have a 2nd fun project to share with you! Now on to your next stop on the hop--head on over to Jamie's Blog.
