Birthday card for Cindy

Hi again,   this I found on pinterest, the original design is from Connie over at constantly stamping.  I really like the way this turned out and will be making it again, Hers had a pretty ribbon on it and looked lovely.

 

I love everything about this card, the layers, the floral paper going all the way to the 

edge, and the liquid pearls did not smug for me this time!!!

good morning again,  this one is going to my girlfriend from Church, I saw this background on pinterest, and gave it a try.  I was not happy with it until I inked around the edges and did not have such a creamy while card base,

Clara is turning 3

When I was talking to my sister and asking what Ava likes, she reminded me that Clara's bd is coming up soon also. So I made hers right away and can send them at the same time. I have not made a paper doll for some time and thought it was time to get the cartridge out.

Card for Ava

Hello to all,   another good day to stay inside and make a card, sad thing about it, the sun is shining so bright and it looks so inviting to be out side. I was out there for just a little and the wind says go back in.
I was told that Ava likes ponies, CAC has a cute one and I used the fence from pooh and friends.

Jacob is turning 1

good morning to all,  Wow, where did the time go!  I was going to put this cute little bear on a wobble but decide for a 1 year old it would be apart in no time.

 I originally made the fence, rope and skull for the front of the card, but it was too much so I decorated the inside also.

Kyle's 10th Birthday

Hello to all, Kyle was our little surprise when he was born, see, the ultra sound my daughter had was a 95% chance of him being a girl, goes to show you that they have a little room for a mistake, lets just say I had to return a lot of pink. At Christmas time, which is no fun at all!
Any way out little man loves Bat man and I do not have anything bat man so I went to my paper doll dress up cartridge super boy  on page 56 and used black for bat colors, used my DS to weld the mask and hair together to get to look of BM and used the diamond shape from George for the pointy ears. I am sure he will love it!

Eli is turning 3

good morning to all,   Oh My!, it is hard to believe that our grandson Eli will be 3. seems like yesterday...oh how it seems time goes faster now days.
He loves big equipment and could watch them for hours if his mommy would let him!
this card is a large 4 1/2 x 7 1/4 so that I could get a decent sized bull dozzer on it. (3 1/2") I added the inside of the wheels into the bucket so it is carrying something.

David and Brittany's wedding card

good morning to all, I saw this sketch this morning and thought of another wedding  card and since my nephew is getting married in Aug. I would make it now.....I tried to add the ribbon on top but it was just a bit too much with the bow tie in the heart, so I am going with this!
