A Milestone Birthday!

My Baby Girl celebrated her 19th Birthday in December! Christmas is extra special for me as she came just shortly after Christmas, she is a Boxing Day Baby! What an exciting day it was for me way back when... time flies by so quickly sometimes.
I wanted to do a special card... like I usually do for her special days. Her 19th Birthday was no exception... She has a new favorite color, yellow! I used the new favorite and the old favorite and created this beautiful Milestone Birthday Card!

I really enjoyed making this card! The background is just a simple watercolor background that I did with just 2 colors. Just squish the lid down and get a little color on there and use it along with a water color brush or Aqua Painters to create a beautiful background.
As for the rest, I just cut out the pieces I wanted and needed and played around till I found a position I liked! Added something if needed and voila!

The "Happy Birthday" I cut out individually so I could split up the words. It wasn't difficult to just round off the letters to separate them, then I did it again with just CS to add a shadow.

I know the new Dear Doily parts aren't really dominant on the card, but they are there! It wasn't something I was doing for a group card so it really didn't need to be, I just really like using circle things lately on my cards.
I am happy with it and she was happy with it so that is all that matters! Next year is the big 2 0!!!

Fancy Fold Card

I'm not sure what to call this card as the one I found wasn't in English! I was surfing on Pinterest one day and found an amazing card!! Of coarse I re-pinned it for later cause I had to give it a try myself. The only problem is, its in another language and the measurements are in cm instead of inches. I really wanted to try the card so I printed out her template and tried to convert cm to inches. I made a card with my dimensions and I am fairly pleased with it. I tried to go fairly simple on the front as the inside is a little bulky. I used a Mojo Monday sketch for the inspiration on for front of the card. Sketch 319 For the inside I pretty much used her layout but just used different paper. I am in the Holiday spirit so really wanted it to be a Christmas card. I haven't used the specialty paper in the Winter Frost Specialty DSP yet so thought it would work perfectly. She had a template designed, but of coa...

Christmas Cheer Gift Card Holder

Last year I carried on my Mom's tradition of doing the 12 days of Christmas with my daughter. She had done it every year buy one since my daughter was about 2, I can't remember exactly when she started it... but I can't remember yesterday so... 😂 I decided instead of giving my 16 year old a bunch of stupid things she would likely never use and I would likely toss in the garbage before long, I would give her gift cards instead. It was a great idea, it was a hit! Her birthday is Boxing Day so we usually go shopping in the city seeing as it's still a pretty busy day for most families. She was able to spend around $200-$250 in gift card money so it was all good! I think doing it that way is a much better way of doing it, what do you think? I thought I would get a head start on Gift Cards for this year as it is a great way to give a gift and still have the recipient have a choice in what to buy. I have a fe...
