Happy Birthday Moo!!

My sweet baby girl is turning 9 today.  Boy, does time fly!  She is an amazing little girl.  Strong will and strong mind.  She was nearly 6 weeks early because she was impatient.  She still wants every thing immediately and she knows exactly what it is and how it should be done.  She is in charge everywhere she goes.  I fully expect her to take over the world someday.  Happy Birthday to my darling Maggie Moo, I love you!

 Maggie wanted a Valentine's theme for her birthday.  We got our pug, Beulah in September and she is just a bundle of love and kisses.  So we went with Pugs and Kisses.

 I used a file from SVG Cutting Files and played with it a bit to make the little pug hold the hearts.

 I made a shaker card for her too.  I used the same pug file and some balloons and a party hat from the silhouette store.  This little guy when on her party invitations too.

Happy Birthday Daddy!

Today is my Dad's birthday.  I just found out that he is a Breaking Bad fan.  I also just found out he has Acute Myeloid Leukemia.  When he called to tell my brother about it, he told him he needed to get a Winnebago so he could start cooking.  Dad has a dark sense of humor.  When our chihuahua named Taco was hit by a truck when we were little, Dad broke the news to us by saying, "Kids, sorry, but we are gonna have to change your dog's name to Tortilla."

Anyway.  I knew he was gonna need a Breaking Bad card.  Since I am not in a very creative mood at the moment, I have to say I copied a card from Snappy Scraps.   The files is called Science Guy from SVG Cutting Files.

We subscribe to Loot Crate and had gotten the coolest Breaking Bad aprons recently, so I thought that would be perfect too.  My brother recommended that we put some blue rock candy in the bag with it, so we did that too.  Dad loved it!

 

 

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.

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!

Happy Birthday Mummy!

My Mummy's birthday is May 22.  Once again, the card was on time, the post is a bit later.  Since we had gotten chickies around the beginning of April and have totally fallen in love with them I thought this was the perfect birthday card.  Honestly, Mum and I are afraid of farm animals.  We really wanted to have fresh eggs though.  They are so much better than store bought ones.  So we ended up getting 4 hens and 6 baby chicks.  We figured if we raised the babies from the start, we might not be as afraid of them.  If someone had told us 6 months ago that we would enjoy having chickens we would have thought they were nuts.  We really do enjoy them though.  They are funny to watch them play, the kids hold them and play with them.  They have very distinct personalities.    Who knew. 

The chickie on the card is from KaDoodle Bug Designs, Birthday Chicks.  They have so many fun and cute designs.  I love them!!  i used my clear Wink of Stella pen to give it some sparkle.  I put it on an action wobble to give it a bit of action.  I think the wobbles are so cute.  One day I hope to get a picture of the action, but so far, I haven't.  I am going to enter this card in the Wobble Wednesday Anything Goes challenge.

Minecraft Banner

All my kids love Minecraft!!!  Dylan's birthday was in February and he wanted a Minecraft banner this year.  I used the Minecraft svg's from Krafty Nook. My brother's kids also love Minecraft.  His birthday is in May and he wanted a cake that the kids would enjoy.  I used rice crispy treats for the sand, cookie icing for the water and buttercream for the grass.  I couldn't find any of my grass tips (of course!) so I had to improvise.  The chocolate icing is made with Duncan Hines classic chocolate and peanut butter oreos and double chocolate oreos.  It was a big hit!  The cake may not be the prettiest, but it tasted so good.  I kept grabbing a piece of the extra cake left over after it was assembled and adding buttercream to it every time I walked through the kitchen.  I was thinking, why don't I make this icing and cake more often?  Then I remembered that I have 2 pairs of jeans that fit and all the rest are too small.  :D

Happy Birthday, Love!!

   Today is my fiance's birthday.  He is my best friend, the love of my life, he puts up with all my nuttiness, he loves and encourages me, and he is an amazing Daddy to our kids.  I love him more and more every day.  I don't know what I would do without him.

   Since he loves Game of Thrones and D&D, I thought a dragon card would be perfect.  I used the Rhaegal file from the GOT Blog Hop by SVG Cutting Files and Jaded Blossom to make a dragon shaped card.

Bella's 2nd Birthday

Happy 2nd Birthday Bella!  Even though she is having a Cat themed party, I had to make her a monkey birthday card!  I put the little monkey on an action wobble, cause wobbles are fun. 

Monster High Card

Maggie is going to a friend's birthday party this weekend.  It is a Monster High party, so of course we made a Monster High card and tag. 

Now to go wrap her gift up.

A Card For Kaydee

My daughter Maggie is going to a sleepover birthday party for her friend Kaydee Friday.  Kaydee loves ponies!  So, of course I made a pony card for her big day.  I used Horse on the Farm by Stinkin Cute Paper Piecings, Party Hat by Silhouette, and Colorful Birthday Phrases by American Crafts.  I popped up the horse on foam squares.  Hope she likes her card and I am sure she will love her present!

More Pirate Monkeys

Here are a few pics from Bella's Pirate Monkey 1st Birthday party.  I made 2 banners, one of rosettes and a HB skull and crossbones, cupcake wrappers and toppers, personalized pirate coins, treasure chests, menu cards, stickers and tattoos.  Plus made the birthday girl's onesie (heat transfer vinyl) and tutu.  So much fun to put together!

Pirate Monkey Birthday

Last September, my BFF Stacy's baby girl turned 1.  We couldn't think of anything cuter than pirate monkeys for her big day, since we love pirates and call her Monkey.  I have to say I spent months working on this party.  We started with templates for both sets of the Monkeys of the Caribbean and went from there.  These are the message in a bottle invitations.  I really love these little monkeys and the little monkey they were made for!

Happy Birthday USA and Stacy!

 Today is not only Independence Day, but also my best friend's birthday.  She is of course again turning 29.  Maggie Moo and I made her a card, she is a firefighter who is also obsessed with zombies.  Though, cats and bacon would have been great card choices too.  May save those ideas for Christmas.  I found the firetruck card in the Silhouette store as well as the different pattern papers.  We put the firetruck emblem on an Action Wobble.  Our 2nd project for today is the flag circle basket from the Silhouette store.  I think we may have to add some candy or cookies to it.  Have a safe and happy 4th of July!

Maggie's Monster High Birthday

Maggie turned 7 in early February.  She was and still is into all things Monster High!  I love that show too, since it teaches kids that just because someone is different on the outside, doesn't mean they are bad and that you can still be great friends.  Here is the card and banner I made for her special day.  Again, not the best lighting or picture taking skills, but I enjoyed making them and she loved them!

 card base, cake, and card banner all from the Silhouette store.

Happy Birthday Eli!

Today my oldest son turns 14!  He is a great kid, I love being his mom!  I made him a ninja card and since one of his gifts is cash, I made him an Attack on Titan wallet card.

The star shape and wallet money holder can be found in the Silhouette store.  The Ninja and the sentiment are from Ninja Kicks and the 14 is the GB Shinto font.  I googled images for the Attack on Titan show to use on the wallet. 

Lots of fun to make!

Thanks for checking out what I made.
