Rykers baptism gift, set of 4

his mom wanted something for his wall to match his bedding, so I went to create a  critter and found everything needed to match. I found these frames at Michaels on sale.

Jacob's barn

Hello, this one is for Jacob. My little farm boy in California who is turning 6 this month.

invatations

Yesterday I was talking to my Daughter and some how we started on Jacobs birthday coming in January, anyway they are in California and I'm in Wisconsin, she said if she would have been thinking she would have asked me to make Jacob's invitations (because that is what I do) so I asked her when she would mail them out and I told her I have plenty of time. Just need to know what he likes! this is what I came up with.
Had to give him a snow theme since they don't see much snow where they are.
Made 18 of these little guys, I left the inside blank so they can write what they need inside.
Now off the California we go...

what to get someonefor their 60th wedding anniversary???

Cards of course if you are a card maker. Although I have to say I did not plan on giving them anything until my sister asked what I was giving Aunt Shirley and Uncle Jim...my jaw dropped and said nothing. But cards are small, nice and useful.
I did put a little more thought into these and finished off the inside of each card.

more create a critter

posting the rest of the create a critter that I have finished. I decided since I have all of these fancy papers, that I would use them for the backgrounds instead of adding so many layers

create a critter

Hi all, these are from create a critter, not sure when I will be sending these to the grandkids, they just received the first group of cards yesterday and love them. I have made a few changes in how I make these cards, like added a few more details to each and will continue

good morning to all,  i was looking thru some of my blog cards from times gone by and found this back ground for a new card, so I made 2

Jacob is turnning 3

this one will be the last one today...Jacob LOVES trains  it turned out to be an extra large card  9 1/2 x 6
and cost about $3.00 to send out, but little guy is worth it...I did not like the plane wheels on the train so I used the wheels from the baby carriage in simply charmed and sized them with my design studio
