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...

June's Door Prize

I am really excited for this months Card Club because it will be the first time doing it at my house. I cleaned up an end of my basement and we are going to do it there. It will be so much easier doing it at home, I tend to forget things and even thought it was only next door. It was a royal pain in the you know what to go get what I forgot.  I hope it isn't to crowed down there but I guess we will see! ANYWAYS I don't have the cards yet but I have the Door Prize all done! Wallet Style Smash Book I had found a video on Youtube on how this amazing project was done!  I like to have printable instructions so I used the measurements she had for the main wallet and I added the measurements I used for the tags in the wallet and used my pictures. I will add my instructions and hopefully you can print them for yourselves.
