Happy Birthday

Happy birthday to my darling son Mark. He turned 12 years old today. He's just had 3 weeks off on School holiday and had to go back on his birthday. Not only that but he had to go an hour early to play his viola in ensemble. Poor little guy.

I just took him down a birthday cake to share with his class mates.  They all were very pleased. His Teacher said they would sing especially loudly to him later on today.

Here is the card I made for him. He really loved it.

Aged to Perfection

I can envisage quite a number of my friends being delighted to receive this card I made today for 365 Cards. The theme was cinema.  These screen goddesses certainly look fantastic. I like the black and gold. It's very elegant.

Kaisercraft Sketch #1 - Vroom

I've always loved this photo my Mark when he was 1 year old. Cute as a button he was. He just loved to ride around the path in the back yard on this little trike, peddling with his feet just like Fred Flintstone.

I've used a mix of Kaisercraft's ranges to make this layout for their April 2012 Sketch #1 challenge.  Here's what I used:

Papers from the outside in:
Devonshire/ Clarabelle pp
Pack Your Bags/Road sign pp
Shaken Not Stirred/Roger pp
Rewind/Playlist pp
Kbots pp

I've also used On The Move Die Cuts and rubons, a Rewind embroidered badge and foam adhesive to pop a few of the elements up.

Here is the sketch:



I had to flip it as I had a landscape photo, not a portrait one.

Thanks for looking.

My Mind's Eye card - sweet

April 2012's challenge from My Mind's Eye is to use hexagons with their products. I've used my hexagon punches to create flowers, along with stickers from MME Quite Contrary range. I've also shown the inside of the card. I don't think it should be forgotten.
