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!!

Glittery Birthdays

My husband and I are headed to the West Coast in a few days to visit my son, Eric in San Francisco so I wanted to post a couple of cards that I have been working on for some birthdays that are coming up this summer.  Still making Elizabeth Craft's sticker/glitter cards which are so beautiful!  Graphic 45 was used for the paper on both of these cards.  Secret Garden was used above and Botanical Tea collection below.  You can't go wrong with either collection!  To color the glitter rose stickers from Elizabeth Craft, I used copic markers.  Purple roses and Pink roses are sooo pretty!!

I had to add the little bumble bee!  So cute!  The side was a border die from Sizzix.   Just have to add the sentiments to both cards and all set to send!  California here we come!!  I left my heart in San Francisco!  and to quote my sister who just got married (see previous post), I am so "Stinkin Excited"!
