Dump Truck Birthday Card

Last weekend, Wesley was invited to a "Trash" Birthday Party.  This is one that we have never been too. The invitation had wording like: "Let's Talk Trash" and "Come to our dump (with the address)".  I would never have thought of doing a party like this, but all our little boys are obsessed with seeing the Trash Trucks.  The Recycle Truck came to the party and all the kids were able to get in the driver seat and pull the horn...it was better than a fire truck for these kids :)
In honor of the Birthday Boys Trash Party, I made him this card.  I used Boys Will Be Boys Cricut cart and cut the dump truck out at 3 1/2".  The # 4's were also on BWBB and they were cut out at various sizes ranging from 1 1/2" to 1".  The Happy Birthday on the truck is from Life's A Beach.  It had a flamingo attached, but I just hacked that off.
Inside the card, I made a GC holder that matched the card.  I also pop dotted the truck for depth and wrote the little boys name under the window on the truck.  I loved how this turned out.

Skateboard Money Jar


Riley is trying to earn money to buy new wheels for his skateboard.  Now being 11 and trying to earn $50 is a long, tough job.  I made this jar for him to make it a little more fun.  The jar is an pickle jar (I am a HOARDER of jars for this reason, "What if I need it?"...Dave can't stand my craft hoarding addiction.  I really need to go on that show).  I cut SKATE from Boys Will Be Boys Cricut cart at 3 1/2".  I Mod Podged it to the jar and I like when I did the whole jar it gave it almost a foggy etched look.  This took me less than 10 minutes to make  :)
