Birthday for Andrea!

This is a shaker/pop up card for my sister, Andrea's birthday.  Just getting into the shaker style cards and they are fun to make.  There are so many ways to use shaker cards. I love making them.

This is the pop up part of the card.  On the tutorial, she called it a panel pop up card.  She mentioned that you husband who is an engineer helped her with the mechanics of this card which I thought was interesting. Just click here for the tutorial.  She does a great job explaining it.

Lastly, I wanted to share the card that my sister, Chris made for my birthday last week.  It is so cute and I love the mermaid, especially her hair!  It is a shaker card too!  So cool!!

Love it!

60th Baseball Card

Here is the card to go with the previous post for my brother's 60th birthday.  He has been a player of baseball and has just loved the game since he was a Little League player.  He is crazy for the game and as a New York Yankees fan, I made baseball the theme.  This is a sizzix die  and the ball is handmade.

I added a flap so there was more room to add sentiments and "old age" quotes.   The stickers were from Michael's which is always fun to use!

This is the back of the card and I love the sentiment on this side.  My husband came up with it. It is hard to see but it says, "If your life was a baseball game, you would be in extra innings!"  Love it! Again hoping he is surprised and hoping for good weather!  Happy 60th Birthday Hal!  We really do love you!!

See you later!

We didn't want to say good-bye to Landyn, so we just say see you later.  Landyn has worked for the other doctor in the same space that I work with Dr. Donnelly.  Because the space is small, we are all very close so both physically and personally.  Landyn is a young mother and we love seeing her daughter's milestones and see her grow.  Landyn graduated from college and is onto full time work as a Medical Assistant.  We are so happy for her.

I love these building block cards and love making them.  Minions are fun!  I have a board on pinterest that is just Minions because they are just so cute plus I thought Landyn's daughter would get a kick out of them.  Punch art is always so fun to do too!  Good luck to you Landyn!!  We love you!!
