Car's Birthday Card

I think it is about time I finally posted something. I am so far behind that one of these days I am going to have about 10 posts just to catch up.

Wesley turned 3 in March and it is now May...yep, a little behind. Wesley is a Cars maniac. So much that he has a certain McQueen he carries around everywhere with him. He tubs with it, eats with it, watches TV with it...even sleeps with it. So I thought it would be appropriate to make him a McQueen card.

I cut McQueen at 7" using the Disney Cars cartridge. The bigger the better, lots of little layers. I ended up cutting one day and putting together another day. I also cut the Paper doll at 4" from EDPD. The car that the boy is holding, the image on the shirt and the images on the shoes were all photos I downloaded from the internet.

See I told you he holds that car everywhere! I also make the boys giant signs so when they wake up in the morning they see it. All done on the computer. The picture of him in front of the sign did not turn out so well.

He loved the card and it is sitting on his dresser until I can get it into his Birthday Scrapbook. Seeing how I am 3 years behind on his book, it will be there for awhile :)

Lego Birthday Card

First I need to start out with an apology. I just searched all my Favorite Blogs for where I got this idea. You know when you think, "Oh I will remember that!"? Well I never "remember that". Anywho, when I remember where I got it from I will let you know...and give the wonderful creator credit.

I made this card on my DS using Plantin Schoolbook for the shape and Printing 101 for the HAPPY puzzle pieces. The little boy is cut from EDPD at 4" and the face is PKS. The Legos are pop dotted using a standard hole punch. I could not figure out the shirt to give Bradley and finally remembered what Bradley's favorite shirt is. Every Friday he "absolutely has to wear" his school spirit shirt. His birthday fell on Friday. He loved this card. The shirt came out so perfect.

Christmas Thank You Cards

I made a pack of three of these cards for a door prize for my MOPS group and I made another 3 pack for myself because I love the way they turned out. So did the boys so we ended up giving the cards to the boys teachers with their holiday gifts. They loved them.

I was inspired for this card from Gigi. I thought this was the cutest thing ever. I made the cookie sheet on the DS using George, the gingerbread were made from Paper Doll Dress Up and the spatula was from Everyday Paper Dolls. Of course the faces are Peachy Keen stamps. The hearts, I used Glossy Accents. The sentiment is computer generated. When you cut the gingerbread people it will cut the mouth, eyes and lines. I just flipped the gingerbread over and stamped my PKS image.

Coaches Thank You Cards

Football season is over...woohoo! We wanted to make thank you cards for our football coaches and Riley designed these. How cute is this...40 year old guys looking like 10. Our coaches all wore the same shirts, but their hats were different. They all wore Longhorns lanyards and that was my favorite part to make. I could not figure out how to weld the football on the DS and get it lined up perfectly, so we just had it that you flip over the card and Riley wrote on the back. The coaches loved these.

I am glad Riley has taking a liking to my obsession :)

The dolls are EDPD, the football card is Sports Mania and the lettering is Plantin Schoolbook that I welded on the DS.

Packers Birthday Card

A good friend of Riley's plays for the Packers. Riley loved the Longhorns card that I made for him for his birthday and asked if we could make one for his friend. Because the 10 card was on my DS, this was so easy. Riley did such a great job on this. The only thing I did was the detail on the pants and helmet, Riley did everything else. He has watched me use my Peachy Keen stamps so many times that he knew exactly what to do. I did not take a picture of it, but we made a pocket on the inside for a gift card. The doll and accessories were cut from EDPD at 4", the helmet is cut from Sports Mania at 1 1/2" and the 33 is cut from Plantin Schoolbook at 1/2". We used the xyron the make everything stick.

Super Hero Gift Bag

Bradley had another birthday party and I was getting tired of spending so much money on the bags. I bought this at Hobby Lobby and went to town. The little boy was having a Batman party. Now, I know there is a Batman Cart, but I was not going to buy it for one bag. So, we looked up the colors online and had fun with it. I used PDDU for the boy and outfit. I used Everyday Paper Dolls for the balloons and the font is cut using the DS and Printing 101. Instead of spending money on a card, Bradley signed the back of the bag.

Longhorns Football Birthday Card

My baby boy is turning 10 this weekend...I can't believe it.

This card was made with my DS and welded the 10 with Mickey Font. The boy, football jersey, footballs and goal post were cut from Everyday Paper Dolls and the helmet with cut from Sports Mania. The longhorn symbol on the helmet and shoulder pads was free hand...had to cut that one too many times :) I did 10 footballs, because he is 10 :) As always I used Peachy Keen Stamp.

What do you think...looks just like him?

Made this one for my Brother and Sister-In-Law, they welcomed a little boy just 2 weeks ago. I can't send them this card though because sweet little Wesley got a hold of this and destroyed it. Glad I took a picture when I did. The sweet little face is Peachy Keen Stamps. The carts I used are Everyday Paper Dolls and Plantin SchoolBook.

Well, here it is, my first post.
We have a lot of Lego Fanatics in our lives. I made this card for a friend that turned 5. I used Everyday Paper Dolls cartridge and the adorable little face is Peachy Keen Stamps. I really loved the way this card turned out.
