Birthday Card

I made this birthday card for my 7 year old grandson. The bag was cut from the Cricut to fit the Kisses on the Go and then glued to the outside of the envelope. I used outdated Close To My Heart Paper and I am not sure if the stamp set is available or not.

 

The card idea came from the sketch and samples in the Jan/Feb 2011 Paper Crafts magazine. I cut the pennants out with the Cricut. Colored the balloons in with markers.

Color Challenge

Well, its been awhile. It seems when we get back from our 2 week vacation in October theres alot going on untill after all the holidays. One grandson always has a birthday a week after were home and since I usually make the cake it takes extra time. Then, this year we hosted my family Thanksgiving so, had to get ready for that, including making a small attempt to clean up Scrapbook and Sewing Room. Of course, I have more to do there but, at least we can walk around the tables. LOL!
  I had linings to sew and catch up with. Food to fix and really, I don't know where the last two months have gone. We had the 4 oldest grandsons the week between Christmas and New Years. Took them to Science Central and a Komet Hockey game. They were thrilled to say the least. We had our kids over New Years for our family Christmas. We have 2 more to go and were done.
   So, here I am and finally have some artwork to post. I am waiting on some new product from our brand new Idea Book to make Valentine things to post soon. I have joined a Blog Hop to share with you all kinds of ideas to make for Valentines. I hope you will come back and visit here and several other Consultant's artwork.
  I also decided to try this Challenge using 3 colors:

I chose to use B&T paper from a couple different Paper Packs. Sky from the Magnifique and the Pear from Olivia. I used a tiny ribbon embellishment from the Pear Mini Medley set. The rest is stamp pad colors Sky, Pear and Sorbet. The stamp set I used is D1470 Dreams Come True that is availabe right now in the sneak peek brochure Inspirations and you can get it at a discount when you buy the Wings Workshop on the Go this month. E-mail me for more information if you are interested.  I inked the word Dream with the Sky color first because its the lighter color and then rolled the bottom of the word in the Pear. Love the way it looks! Pretty simple card. The pattern comes from our book Wishes on page 115 and is card #8 in the Christmas Card Workshop.
