Happy Birthday Makayla!

Tonight we celebrated my oldest granddaughter's seventh birthday!!  WhooHoo!!  I made this birthday card for her....I showed a picture of it to my husband tonight after all the festivities were over and he said.....Wow.. that actually looks like Makayla!!  I have to agree except...her beautiful blonde hair is not quite that tame!  She has naturally curly hair that is just ALL OVER THE PLACE!!!  But she does have those darling freckles and loves anything pink, frilly, and girly!!  She is a very creative, thoughtful, loving girl at the early age of seven.  Her favorite thing at the moment is to play "store' so her mom & dad gave her a cash register, fake money & coins, comes complete with a credit card that when swiped says "your credit has been approved...OH MY!!!  DANGER AHEAD!!  Anyway..here's the card...and here is Makayla!!  I used a "Kidz Balloon" Bugaboo Image, colored her with Prisma Pencils, used cardstock stash. Flower ribbon is felt..distributed by Michaels Stores Inc (had around forever & never used)!  The white pearls are new ..from Doodlebug Design Inc. Don't remember the sentiment stamp, but was framed by the 1 1/2 Paper Studio punch in white, the 1 3/4 Stampin Up punch in pink, and the 2 inch Paper Studio Punch in "chocolate.
What do you think??

Happy Birthday Mary!!!

I made this card a little while ago for a blog challenge....but never got around to linking it to the challenge...SHAME ON ME!  Anyway...I thought it was a really cute stamp, and made the card for my sister Mary's birthday (March 30th) so I am posting it on here just for fun!!  The stamp is "patricia birthdaycake ch107" from stampingbella.com and the sentiment is from the Happiest Birthday Wishes set from Stampin Up!!  I colored it using colored pencils and gamsol (Mineral Spirits)

Happy Birthday Joey!!

My brother Joey's birthday is March 24th.  He was the 5th child, after four girls! YIKES!!!  We dressed him up in girls clothes and put makeup on him and generally treated him like a doll baby!  (Poor thing!)  Despite all that, he ended up being a mechanical, camping, hunting ,fishing, 4-wheeling kind of guy that went his own way in life.  He's only 45 minutes away, but we don't see or talk to him a lot (probably his punishment to us for torturing him so much when he was such a young tyke).  ANYWAY..this boyish image made me think of him today.....and so long ago!!  I kept the card kind of plain and boyish colors except I did add a bow.

I am entering this card in the Polka Doodles- Let's Hear it For the Boys Challenge.
The stamp name is "Eli & Frogger" fromWhipper Snapper Designs"Inc.  (CY923)
The ribbon is from Michaels Stores Inc
The sentiment I made up & printed myself!!
I colored the card with colored pencils & gamsol!!

Birthday Card

My Coworker Karen's 50th birthday is on April 13th!  Yep...she was born on Friday the 13th...and she swears that exempts her from any superstitions!!  She lives alone with her calico cat Kenney, and loves to talk about how they know each others habits, feelings, thoughts, quirkiness!!  So I thought she would get a kick out of this 50th birthday card for her!  I am entering it in the Fantabulous Cricut Challenge Me Monday # 102, and the Mojo Monday Sketch Challenge 232.  Hope you like it!!

Birthday Card

A birthday card I made for my sister Mary.  I used a really cute stamp from StampingBella called "Patricia Birthdaycake", but I didn't like the wings, so I didn't ink that part up!  I colored this with colored pencils and mineral spirits.
