Yesterday was Skylar’s first birthday. She’s walking, has four teeth, and is still just a delightful, happy little girl. The two photos of her aren’t the best as the light left a lot to be desired, and I’m so reluctant to use a flash. (I ought to get over that!) She was more interested in the bow than the package or what was in it. Pretty typical for a one year old.
Here’s the card I made for her:
Cardstock: Simply Chartreuse and Select White (PTI); patterned paper: A Muse; glitter paper: American Craft; dies: By the Number, Double Ended Banner, & Tag Sale #3 (PTI); Stamp: Big Birthday Wishes (PTI); ribbon from stash.
And a peek at the inside:
Stamp: Heart2Heart 2 (PTI); patterned paper: A Muse and American Craft (glitter); small scallop die (PTI)
At the other end of the spectrum, a dear friend of ours turned 81 last week. Here’s the card I made for him.
Card: Paper Source; Stamps: 2012 Birthday Tags, Fabulous Frames, & Background: Herringbone (all PTI); button: Pure Poppy (PTI)
These are both so wonderfully stylish! The chevrons work really well with the red diagonal stripes. I am going to take lessons from you on elegant cardmaking. 🙂
Oh my goodness a whole year , I remember so well when she was born! She is so lovely Karen as are your cards. Can I join your class?
That year seems to have gone so quickly,Karen. I so agree with Alexa about how stylishly elegant the cards are.
So big! I’m with you on being flash-phobic, but I’m realizing that occasionally it’s necessary.
