The Second 3rd Birthday

I wish I could take all the credit for this card but I have to admit I can't.
A crafty friend gave me some cute LOTV images ....aren't I lucky :-)
She rarely does cards for children and thought I would be able to make use of this one .....too right, as I have two great nephews with birthdays this month.

The blue BP is one of Crafty Ann's Woodgrain Effect Pastels. I drew a little boat, multiplied it and printed them on top.
Another thing I am pleased with is the frame. I only have the square Nellie frame but made this rectangle by cutting it out over folded paper.
The arrow was made, with a bit of fiddling, from one of the shapes in 'Word' and the 'Happy Birthday' badge in Serif DrawPlus.


I must apologise again for not getting around to visiting and commenting on your blogs my lovely friends.
I keep hoping I'll  get a bit more time to myself  soon :-/

Third Birthday

All of you who  know of Pepper Pig will (hopefully) recognise George, Pepper's brother, lol.
I am told that the young fella who will receive this is a big fan of George.
I have used three different digital DP's and the star and the BIG 3 are attached with foam pads. George is printed on to photo paper and fixed with silicone to give some shape.

Charisma Cardz challenge #25 is 'For the boys'  -  I hope this is suitable

Thank you for stopping by today

3rd Birthday

I have made this card for the following challenges:

Sketch & Stash #33 - Sketch
Meljens Designs #4 - For the little ones
Lexi's Creations #12 - Recipe - 3 papers, 2 embellishments, 1 image
Penny's Paper-Crafty - Anything goes




I got this image from Jak Heath a while ago and this is the first time I have used it.
I digitally layered papers to the right size to save time and of course it saved paper and ink as well. I made the stripey strip to match using colours from the BP's.
The image is matted on to a silver mirri circle and cut around with fancy scissors.
I added a small blue button to the centre of the larger red one. The only other embellishment is the 3 stars.

Thank you for stopping by and for all the encouraging comments left recently - each and every one really appreciated.
