Happy Birthday Matey!
Hi! Today I am sharing a project that I created for ScrapbookPal.com using my Cricut Imagine and the Buccaneer Cricut Imagine Cartridge! My son was going to a birthday party and requested that I make a 'cool boy card'! I thought what could be more cool than a Skeleton Pirate and a Treasure Chest!? I put a couple layers of chipboard in the Treasure Chest (to add strength) and then placed a couple rolls of money and $5.00 worth of quarters! It was a hit at the party! :)
