Magic Thank-You Card

This is my first attempt at a magic card:
I tried to keep the card simple.  I added eyelets all around the border and put an extra paper behind it that I glittered so you could see some color in the middle.  My little sister helped me to color the image.
This is the card when you pull on the tab:
I love the image of the little outfit with the airplane on it because my Mother-in-Law enjoys collecting baby clothes with a plane theme and this is meant for her.  Now if we only had a kid to wear some of the clothes :-)

I'm going to enter this into the following challenges:

Sorry for not mentioning before, I used the Plantin Schoolbook for the oval and for the rectangle and little tab on top to pull out the slider.  The Cricut made it easy to center the image.

Robot Wow Birthday Card

This robot looked like he was shouting out "Wow" to me, so  I made a card to go with him.
The letters are from the Robotz Cartridge too.  And this is the inside:
"You're" is Cursive 101 and the Happy Birthday I took from the Ultimate Creativity cartridge.
I thought I would enter this guy into some challenges so:
Cute Card Thursday One For The Boys Challenge
Craft Your Days' Away Just for Children Challenge
Digi Doodle Shop's Anything Goes Challenge
Paper Playtime's Anything Goes Challenge
and Papertake Weekly's Anything Goes Challenge





New Title

Hi! I'm so excited that I actually won top 3 at My Craft Spot :-) I put the little caption thing on the sidebar.
I just wanted to mention about dressing up my blog, I added a new background that I made out of blue paper - I inked it and chalked it to get the texture look then cut out the cloud shapes and added different kinds of puff paints to make the clouds look more realistic.  I also found a cloud font online and used that to cut out the title then inked it pink.  I used a google image to cut out the plane with Make The Cut.  For the look of the propeller moving, I cut two circle shapes from an old plastic shell the cricut cartridges come in.  Then I inked the edges black and overlapped them where the prop would be. Here's a picture of what just the plane looks like against the cloud background:
I hope you like the new look, I'm excited about how it turned out!
