Happy Birthday Eli!!

Today my oldest turns 15.  It doesn't seem possible.  I am really getting this old?  Yes, I think I may be. 

When I look at him, sometimes I still see the mischievous, white haired toddler he was.  The one that dressed like Joe from Blues Clues and would act out Nightmare Before Xmas when he watched it everyday.  They sure grow up too fast.  Eli is an amazing kid!  He is super smart, creative, witty and has my warped sense of humor.  He reminds me often that even though I may think something isn't gonna work, he will find a way.  I am so proud of the man he is becoming.  He stands up for what he feels is right.  He doesn't buy into what others may say until he looks up the facts for himself.  He is one of the few people that can shock or surprise me.  I love you Eli, always, no matter what.  And no matter how old you get, you are still my baby boy.

On to his card.  I used the guitar card file from the Silhouette store for the card.  I used the Silhouette sketch pen in silver for the inside sentiment on the black cardstock.  I did the outline in the SSDE and cut it out with my Cameo.  I added red and white homemade enamel dots.  The Happy Birthday sentiment is from Lawn Fawn So Much to Say stamp set.  I stamped it in Memento Tuxedo Black and embossed it.

Now to go dry my eyes and ice his cake.

Father's Day Card For My Daddy

I not only have an awesome stepdad, but my Daddy is pretty dang awesome too!  I have seen a few biggest fan cards lately and loved them.  I thought this would be great for my Dad.  I used Wink of Stella on the fan blades and glossy accents on the controls.  The blue dot in the middle is homemade.

Thanks for looking!

Father's Day, Part Deux

I have an amazing step dad.  He really is awesome!  I know he loves me to put up with me!  I used a file from the Silhouette store to make the card.  I think the sentiment really sums up not only him, but Jason as well.  I really love that they are the men that they are. 

Thanks for looking!

Father's Day

I have a few Father's Day cards to share so  I will do them one a day.  The first one is a for Jason, my fiance.  He is an amazing Dad to my kids.  He may not have been there from the start, but he is the one that is here and that has been the best influence on them.  Don't know what we would do without him.  We all love him so much!  Since we are all geeks in our family...I had to go with Yoda.

I used a Yoda svg from a SVGCuttingFiles past blog hop.  I love this company!  Not only do they have amazing files in their store, but awesome blog hops too.  I did print and cut and layering to make Yoda and added glossy accents on his nose.

Happy Anniversary!

Mum and Tony recently celebrated their wedding anniversary.  I made a card for Mum to give to Tony.  I colored the boat with my Prisma Colored pencils and blended with gamsol. 

Mum's Day

I am late posting for Mother's Day, but the card was on time.  I love my Mum!  My Mum is my best friend now that I am an adult.  As a teen, I gave her hell and I regret it.  I can't imagine where I would be without her.  Thank you Mummy, I love you!

I used an image from Tiddly Inks, Aww Thanks.  I love Tiddly Inks, they have so many great images.  I colored it with my Prisma Color pencils and cut it out with my Cameo. 

Thanks for looking!

Video Game Controller Card

My oldest son's friend Cody had a birthday last month.  Eli wanted to make a card based off of a youtube show they like.  Cody is also into the mustaches and loves the color hot pink.  I used a Silhouette file for the controller. The mustache is popped up with foam squares.

Thanks for looking!
