Happy Birthday Chili - (my future son-in-law)

My future son-in-law is a farmer with a full time job. He is a great guy and has been a part of the family for about 9 years now.
To honour his farming roots, I used paper that has the John Deere greens and yellows. I use hemp string with a "plier tool" embellishment. The stamp was one that I had stamped off at a card party but is perfect for a farmer/handyman.
Inside of the card on the left, I used some farming paper that I had found in the same colours.

Happy 28th Chili (aka Scott)!

Another Precious Baby in our Family!

Our cousins, Erin and Rob, just had their first baby, a beautiful girl, Eva Grace.  To honour her entrance into our family, I made this card with a little princess and her court using traditional baby pink colours but using chocolate brown accents. We can't wait to meet you in person, Eva!

Happy Birthday Julie!

This is my daughter's birthday card. She loves cats and dogs so of course I picked a cat for the front of her card.  I used the Whipper Snipper Cupcake Kitty.  I coloured him in with pencil crayons and smoothed him out with gamsol.  I used candy cane pink glitter to fill in the icing on the cupcake. I also edged the cupcake liner in a dark blue glitter. I used some glaze to whiten his pearly teeth and accentuate the pink nose.  I used the Happy Birthday embossing folder on the baby blue Bazzill cardstock. The bottom of the card is birthday design paper with a blue Happy Birthday Ribbon. I used some Happy Birthday stickers beside the cat for my sentiment. The card was topped off with cornflower blue square brads in the corner of the cards.  Today is her birthday and I just finished her card last night.  She lives about 25 minutes from me but I carried on the tradition and took her out a Birthday donut to celebrate her birthday along with her card. She was thrilled that I remembered the tradition.  Have a good day Julie!
