Creativecuttlebuggers layout challenge

Here are the two cards I created for the weekly layout challenge on our new group.

More gift card holders

It has been an exciting weekend. Two of us have started our own cuttlebug yahoo group. We tried to be pretty organized, creating it and loading all sorts of info into files, links and photo albums before we announced it on another yahoo group.
Well long story short we have over 125 members - it has been a rather busy two days to say the least. But so much fun.
Have issued a challenge (card layout) and a monthly mingle. So that's a start.
Here is link in case you are interested:

Requirement for membership - a love for cuttlebug "stuff"
Have tweaked some of the gift card holders - added bits to make them "better"!

Card for birthday (gift card holder)

Have made another trying to use some cuttlebug items

Another gift card holder

Okay so I am on a roll - love the simplicity of this card - so cute, so easy and yet so practical! Thanks Sandy for the patterned paper - love it!

Embellishments to cards

Decided the gift card holders needed something more.

It's been a card making day

Had someone ask about a gift card holder and found one on Dawn's Blog:
her blog is in list on right - the video is dated May 2008 - the card is so cute and easy to make - of course I had to give it a go.
Also I subscribe to another blog called Clean and Simple:
again her blog link is in list on right - this lady makes the neatest cards so of course I had to try to make one like hers.
Here are my creations.

Birthday cards

Have some friends with birthdays coming up so have been making cards for them.
