Happy 17th Birthday Card

It has been very hectic the last two weeks.  I have been missing my Cricut and all my scrapping tools.  I have several projects in progress on my scrap table and hopefully I will be able to finish them soon and share them with you. In the meantime, I wanted to share the birthday card I made for my 17 year old nephew.

This card was made entirely from my scrap box.  I made the gate fold and used one of my Fiskar border punches along the edges.  I don't think I will use a border punch on both sides next time (just one side), because the edges kept catching on each other when I tried to close the card.  I cut the 17 at 2 inches from the Sweet Treats Cricut Cartridge. 

I used a few more scraps to finish off the inside of the card.  I really love the way this card turned out and I really love being able to make something cool from my scraps.
