This weeks sketch from AHSC is so CLASSIC!  Love the simplicity that gives you a ton of ideas.  I decided to followed the sketch closely this week and deployed the Cricut to make this quick easy card. 
Products I used for this card are:

Two big Birthdays this last week!  My little man turned 7 and his Grampy turned 65. We have been busy partying it up!
With birthdays on my mind and one of Malcolm's buddies also having a birthday party over the weekend I made this super cute card for his friend.
I love the sketches from AHSC and how they get me started, as you know some weeks I follow the design very closely and other weeks my card takes a bit of a left turn. I love how this card turned out.  It is just so fun and perfect for a 7 year old boy. Product I used for this card are: - Confetti Wishes Paper Packet - Love Ya Silly (B1470) Stamp Set - Doodled Designs (A1170) Stamp Set - Aqua Dots - Flamingo Dots - Red Enamel Hearts - Bitty Sparkle - Gypsy and Sunset Ink
