Birthday cards using cuddlebug folders

The Cuddlebug challenge is to make a birthday card for a child... using of course a cuddlebug folder... so that was really difficult for me... !!!! NOT... I think I use a lot of cuddlebug folders in cards.. anyway... it was a lot of fun... of course I got really carried away with just the right the image etc... but came up with a couple that had been sent to me by friends...
So thanks...

This little boys card was so easy to create for me... I painted the image with Twinkling H20's and then using my spellbinders, cut the image out... adn then used more oval dies to cut the other three layers of oval scalloped spellbinders... using of course different color cardstock...

Then used one of the Asian embossing folders for the background... I really wanted to use a blue border.. but everything seemed so very bold and over powering... so I used a Martha Punch set to create the blue border.. .and the grand Lace template by spellbinder for the border... a little gingham ribbon.. and four button brads... adn I was done.. I love it...
Of course the little girls card was so very easy to create... frilly and lacey is the look I wanted...
This image is not really the best, but I think she is cute with all these fun balloons... I wanted to keep it pink and white.. .so I used 5 shades of pink Twinkling H20's... in the coloring of the image.. I mounted on some dotted swiss... adn then used the flower adn circle folder for the background.. some more Grand lace using the spellbinders... and some pearls.. and a BOW... of course a frilly bow... in pale pink organza... Love it... I could have really gone crazy with more pearls... but felt that this was enough.. what do you think???

Thanks for taking a look.. .and also for stopping by to visit... Love, Light and Peace... Bonnie
