Here's is the card that I created that incorporates both challenges:

For my card, I decided to cut out that cute little rocket from the Boys Will Be Boys Cricut Cartridge.
My rocket was cut out at 3.25" and popped up using an action wobble to give it that little bit of added fun for the recipient, I also added some black diamond stickles to the rocket to give it some sparkle, but not too much since it is for a boy :)
I added some Red Royal Jewels from The Scrapbooking Queen to the opposite corners and also added some glossy accents to the yellow stars on the patterned paper. 
The sentiment is from the "Simply Said"stamp set by Cardz TV Stamps.

I have a hard time with boy cards but I think this one is perfect for a little boy :)

Here's my project for this challenge:

My baby boy is turning 19 this month! Time flies!

Masculine cards are NOT my strongest lol!

I have the hardest time making them for some reason.

Maybe it is the lack of cutesy critters and ribbons and bows? haha!

For my card I decided to make a "Z" fold card. 

My numbers came from the Boy Will Be Boys cricut cartridge and were cut out at 2" each.  

Here is a view from the top so you can see the fold:

Snail Mail Card---A Krafty Girls Challenge

Happy Tuesday!

Today starts another fun challenge over at the Krafty Girls Blog!

This week is Mission Impossible: Create a paper craft that someone helped you create by embossing, designing, cutting, or doing anything that helps you finish your project.

I had a lot of fun with this project. I had my daughter help me with it. She picked the cricut cartridge that I had to use for my main image for my starting point. Then I designed the card. After I was done designing and adhering everything down, she came in and put on all the finishing touches. She added the googly eyes, glossy accents and all the doodling.

We had a great time! What a fun way to spend time with your family or friends, and work on a challenge at the same time! I hope you will head over to Krafty Girls and play along with us! I would love to see what you create and I'm sure you will have just as much fun as my daughter and I did!

I hope you have a great crafty day!

Cricut Cartridge: Birthday Bash (Card cut at 5.25"), Boys Will Be Boys (Snail cut at 2.5")
