Birthday Card

I am trying to challenge myself this month, as I am just starting out using a Blog, I am going to try and post one new project a day for the month of July.  I scrap lifted this idea from Donna Digby, it is quick, simple, and a great way to use up all your little scraps.  For this simple Birthday Card I used some leftovers from the CTMH Free to Be Me paper pack, CTMH White Daisy cardstock, CTMH Lagoon Ink, and CTMH Celebration stamp set (still available on the Cricut list).
