Happy Birthday Karree

Hello Everyone,

March is a Birthday month in our household with quite a few in the extended family marked on the calendar as well as some friends, but today is a special one.  It's my daughter Karree's 15th birthday today and she wanted a themed card to go with the cake she made for herself.  Let me prewarn you that this post is photo heavy.  I'll start with the card I've made.

She wanted a Minion card.  There are quite a lot on the internet one you start looking, but of course I wanted mine to be different.


I created a round card, to go with the cake my daughter wanted to make herself.   The idea though was a CASE of one seen on Pinterest by Gill Prescott.  Hers was a square card.

Essentially its just circles - Circle collection framelits and circle punches in various sizes.  I've joined 2 circles together to create a card that will open, hinged on the inside.  Some buttons were added to the blue overalls and a little Marina Misk ink was sponged just on the blue card.
 


She loved the card.  Next I'll show you her Cake Creation to go with it.



And the Birthday girl cleaning up the aftermath....thank goodness she did the benches.  I still have the floor to do though.

Cleanup in progress ... lol    she says she wasn't ready for a photo.  No kidding, my pantry doors wide open.   The final photo below is of the Birthday Girl herself, this morning just before we left for school.  She curled her hair specially.  Sorry it's not a better photo though.  We should have shut the back door first. 


Thanks for dropping by on Karree's Birthday.  I hope to get a much nicer photo of her tonight that I can post on FB.  See you tomorrow.

Hello Everyone, Welcome to our Wednesday card sketch challenge at the Paper Craft Crew.  Here's our sketch this week    I'm using some designer papers called Merry Moments combined with Festival of Trees stamp and greeting from Teeny Tiny Sentiments.  The cardstock used is Whisper White and Smoky Slate with inks of Old Olive and Real Red.  The greeting comes from the Teeny Tiny Sentiments stamp set and has been punched out with the Washi Tape punch. Here's a closer look.  I love how the Designer papers add so much colour this this card.  The Festival of trees stamp has been combined with the Tree punch for this card. Thanks so much for joining me this week to view my card.  For more inspiration please visit the Paper Craft Crew challenge and see what our other Designers have created this week. Have a great day.

Music Teacher Farewell // Paper Players #173 Shaped Card Challenge

Hello Everyone, It's a sad week for my daughter and her friends who have really enjoyed what the music program offered them at the High School this year.  Their very talented teacher will be moving on to a new school and they're having a little party for their last day of the Vocal ensemble practice which was an extra activity that he undertook with the students, as well as teaching them to play all sorts of instruments in lesson times. His speciality though, Guitar!  I have decided to enter this card into the Paper Players Shaped Card Challenge this week.  While not specifically made for the challenge, I think it's a pretty cool shape and fits the criteria.  I also think more people deserve to see this card. When asked to make a card for the group to give him, with that in mind I found some inspiration on Pinterest and came up with this card. The hardest part for me was getting the shaping right, and I had to call on my Artistic daughter to draw the edge as I d

JAI176 - Just Add Blokes & CCMC 2nd Entry

Hi Everyone, I thought this weeks Just Add Ink challenge - "Just Add Blokes" was a great opportunity to get in and make a Male card .  For those of you outside Australia, "Blokes" is another name for Men. Today I'm using Mosaic Madness bundle set teamed with a greeting from Loving Thoughts stamp set.  I don't understand why, but the simplest cards seem to take me the longest.  I agonise over them, and yet I can make something much more involved quicker, when I have a clear vision in mind. I've taken the colours for this card from the colour challenge this week for Create with Connie and Mary so this card is doing double duty for both challenges. Here we are The cardstock is Berrmuda Bay, Basic Black, Whisper White and Smoky Slate per the colour challenge.  Here is a closer look at the Mosaics.  The Bermunda bay one is raised on dimentionals. This picture below gives you a closer look at the greeting. Thanks so much for stop
