Jennifer's Birthday Bash Blog Hop

Welcome to Funky Cards and Jennifer's Birthday Bash Blog Hop:)


If you arrived here from Tracy's blog you are in the right place.  If you happened here by chance today, you may want to head back to the beginning to Jenn's blog so you don't miss any of the wonderful birthday projects that were created just for you!  

By now you can see that this blog hop is all about TURTLES.  We were asked to consider using a turtle on our project.  I wanted to do something a little different.  My turtle is actually made of wood.  I bought the turtle, which can be removed and kept for fun:)  Since I designed a belated birthday card I thought it would be fun to give the recipient a little something while saying I'm sorry about being late with my birthday wishes.

The generated sentiment says, "Sorry I was so slow getting this in the mail. 
Happy Belated Birthday."

Recipe:
Create a Critter Cricut Cartridge- Mailbox and Grass
Martha Stewart Scalloped Dots Border Punch
Cuttlebug Swiss Dots Embossing Folder
Computer Generated Sentiment
Sizzix Embossing Folder
Googly Eyes
Gel Pen
Ribbon

    How cute! I had forgotten all about my pet turtle. I had one when I was about 8 yrs old.

My sister had a pet turtle that she was responsible for...and somehow it almost ran away!! ha ha ha...she let it out and then forgot about it (she was only in grade one in her defence) and then we couldn't find her (the turtles name was shelley) for a couple of hours...good thing she didn't dry out too much!

    I actually did have a turtle, though I didn't buy him or anything. One day I noticed my dog playing with what I thought was a big rock. He was really going at it and I decided to take it away. Upon closer look I noticed it was a turtle. I don't know where it came from but it was completely muddy and looked dead. I noticed it move so I took it inside to clean it up. I kept it for a few days and then took it to a nearby pond to live the rest of his turtle life.
