M’s 5th Bday Card

Posted on | January 14, 2009 | 31 Comments |

Her birthday isn’t until February but I’m trying to be more organized this year!

My first 2S4Y sketch for this year!! No stamps, just layers of papers and embellishments. I used Cosmo Cricket, October Afternoon, and Prima pattern papers. The pink fruit, it’s from my Scarlet Lime kit, the birdie and five I cut using my KnK die-cut machine, the butterfly is Martha Stewart and the blue see through flowers are Heidi Swapps. Ribbon, hmmm… I found that. I think it came from a package and the lace behind it was from a fabric store at the KC Plaza.

This card is for my little M. It’s for her 5th birthday. I think she’ll LOVE it. I am very lucky to have a little girl who loves everything I make for her. She’s so cute too, all grown up when she says, “Mommy, that is soooo cute! Wow, I love it!!” I really like this card. I think all my favorite cards have been ones that I make for this little brat.

Ok, I’m starting to have goals for this year. I have the project 365, where I’ll be taking pics everyday (they’re in my Flickr gallery if you’re interested), then I also want to do two challenges a week. I usually do Kristina’s challenges so adding another one shouldn’t be too hard. I also want to have two things published this year. It was fun seeing a few of my work published and the freebies are awesome. I actually have one published in January so I only have one more to go, ha! Cheating? Well, I want little goals so that anything more is extra! That way I won’t be too disappointed if I can’t reach most or all of them.

Laters!

Oh, this is just super cool! I love your butterfly — we must have been on the same butterfly wavelength!

And, happy birthday to little M! :)

I forgot to ask where you’re getting published? I wanna see! :)

I’m thinking of starting to submit to magazines again, I used to do it a bunch, was sooooo fun + exciting seeing a submission in print! :)
