2 birthday cards for sisters

good morning to all, it has not started snowing yet in Wausau, but I expect it soon, the wind has picked up a bit. a good day to make cards and post them. first one is a extra large 5 1/2 x 8 1/2  and the 2nd is 5 1/2 square.

Miss Briella is turning 6

Hello, I have no idea what kids are into these days, so I ask my sister what her granddaughter would like on her card, she did not have to think long and said any thing with dance on it.
she was cut at 5 1/4 inches  and I love the background paper, it looks like she is on stage.

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.

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!

extra large card for Aubrey

good morning to all, boy.... is it cold out this morning -2 when I woke up and we might get up to 6 for a high.
I had fun making this card for Aubrey, she will be 6 on Wed. even though we will be seeing them next Sunday, I want her to get it on her birthday,   it being a extra large card   19 1/2 x 6 and with all the layers,
it is a heavy card and will need more postage, but she is worth it!

              cannot have fun in the snow without her big brother

               and what is snow without snow people!

 I also have extra snow flakes so when she opens it up they will come floating out....

Lydia turns 2

good morning,  this is for my nieces daughter, who will be turning 2 on Sat. 
not sure if you can see, but I made the background by welding together from art philosophy, I was going for a cage look for the lion...

Kiem baby card

Good morning to all, It is snowing in central WI this morning,  had to warn my daughter of the "it is slippery out and people are not used to snow on the ground, so slow down"  I think it went in one ear and out the other....
this is for a friends new baby and I always send something for the other so they do not feel left out,

                you counted right!   and baby makes 6

I spy Sketches # 32

good morning to all, I have not made an ISS in some time and saw this one and thought snow flakes,
I used peach keen snow flakes for the background and heat embossed them, cut the window pane, upper left hand corner snowflake,snow day and bird with winter woodland on my cricut,
these will be going to my daughter who is a school councilor and my niece who is a teacher, come winter they look for those unexpected little breaks in the year.

 
I should have put a lighter back ground in the upper left hand corner, so you could tell it was a cricut cut snowflake with a gem ,,,,oh well!

Die Cuttin' Divas, Christmas in July # 74

Hi all, over at Die cuttin Divas    I found this challenge

We have a new Die Cuttin' Diva challenge this week and we sure hope you will share your card, layout, or altered project. All the projects from last's week sketch were quite impressive and we are hoping for a large turn out for this challenge.

The Challenge...Christmas in July

It is that time of year to get a head start on those holiday projects, so you do not have to worry about not having enough in December.

Last night I was looking at YouTube and found this type of card under window cards, think I can find it again, nope!!! about the only thing that looks anything like hers is the window effect with the snowflakes on it.  Hers you could see through, but I did not like it on mine so I covered if up and used my snowflake cuttle bug folder and pasted it in, I also had no luck with welding these layers from Elegant edges, so I made them separately and glued them together hers had a darling little boy and mine has this WW deer.  if I find it,,, I will give her credit, but for now I cannot find it anywhere.

okay, I was determined to fine her      cricutologist32820

Wow!!!   the BIG 2.... seems only like yesterday,,,, I am excited to show you this card today, I had so much fun, from the smiley sun to the little red crab and the dino is on a wobble.

 I wanted the dino a bit more to the left, but once those wobbles stick there is no turning back!
