Happy Birthday Paige!



 What is there to say about this cute little, okay not so little card that I made for my niece for her birthday?  Not much besides, isn't it cute?!  I picked this little princess up at Lettering Delights, and got a whole collection of Princesses which I can now play with, I must say that Snow White was by far my favorite.  So I went with that for a birthday card front.  She had an apple in which she was holding but I changed that to a number 2 instead since it is a her 2nd birthday.  I got the font of course from dafont.com fitting for a Disney themed birthday card.  Now to make another one for the other niece, can't have one get something without the other.  Who to make, who to make?

It will be late but it was made with lots and lots of lub (love)  Happy Birthday Paige!

A Vintage Birthday

So I made this card as a commission for someone and I think it turned out wonderfully. I wasn't sure what direction to take with the card being as there were so many options given to me, but for some reason this bike called to me for this card. Between the drama of Big Guy passing and attempting to lead a normal life, I managed to put this card together. I thought it wasn't up to my normal standards but when I showed Mom she said I would have nothing to worry about since it rocked.

All of the paper used on this card came from my stash so I'm getting really good at finding paper for the cards that I wish to make. You just never know how much cool paper you have until you stop yourself from buying a whole stack based on just a couple of pages that you like.

I think I could spend days upon days sorting through all the paper I have and putting it into groups that would better help me make cards with. I pull out a paper and have an idea for it but then pull out another piece and the idea goes in a whole different direction. *sighs* the life of a card maker.

Hopefully the buyer and the receiver of the card will like it as much as I do.

Happy Birthday Chairman!

So it was the Chairman's birthday this week, and I couldn't just pass up the time to make a card for her. I thought it turned out quite nicely, with the silhouette of a girl's head decorate with floss and bling. I had seen in enough of my magazines the use of ink on the corners and such on the paper to make it pop. I never quite believed that it would make a card look so much better, but it truly does! I stamped the edges of the paper with dictionary type style words on it, in a complementing blue color. I printed the Happy Birthday with my printer since my Silly was having issues with cutting the font at the size that I really wanted to use. It wouldn't have looked right if I would have cut the words out instead of printing, now looking back at the card.

This was the first of a series of cards that I'm challenged myself to use the paper that I have here and not buy any more and if I do it just be one sheet instead of a whole stack. I think it turned out lovely.

Boss' Birthday Greeting

So I thought I wasn't living up to my true potential, so instead of "Tweeting A Birthday Greeting" I made the boss lady another card. Being from the state of Michigan, I'm sure she can enjoy the humor of the Probverb. That Dutch, always a special group they are.

So here's to you boss lady, getting your 10 year dose of PA Duth life, which is almost like their real world up there. So no tweeting here, sorry.

Fairest of Them All Birthday Card

So my ex-boss who has decided that the group she worked with all ended with a Y, so she changed her name to best reflect that she may be no longer with us but she is very much thinking of us "little people" Thanks Shashay! ;)

In honor of that I had created this little bit of fun for her, I always go with the one that one item that strikes me as something that the person would like or is like. So here's my take.....Mirror, mirror on the wall, who's the fairest of them all? The reply is Shashay!

Butterflies Birthday Card

Well the card has been given and the hugs have been given. Happy Birthday Lidy-Loo! I made this card for a co-worker and I must say pretty amazing card it is. It's even better in person, I promise! Used my skill of putting the L back together, and made the butterflies with a bit of guess and check and from there it was a clear run-away project. Now to start on another birthday card.....wonder who I could do next?

A Rockin' Birthday Card

Here is the latest creation. It was Anthony's birthday on the 9th of this month and with my craft room redesign, I wasn't able to get him a card on time. So here is what I made for him. He received a pair of headphones so I went with that theme.
