It's a Birthday Card

One evening I was blog surfing and my first stop is usually There She Goes and then onto owner Jessica's blog. Well this night I pulled up her blog and saw this absolutely amazing card. I wanted this card, but it was a card for her father-in-law. I knew someday I wanted to CASE the card (check it out here) and that day finally came!! Now of course my card is nowhere near as impressive as hers, but I followed her pattern and layout. I wish that I could get the rich, deep colors that she captured. I have been practicing, but I'm still not there. I did not layer the card to the extent that she did, I didn't have time. I didn't emboss, because I am not sure exactly what was embossed. Plus I did not do the sewing - I just purchased a sewing machine, but won't be taking a class until mid July.

This card was made for a one year old. I hadn't seen this little guy since he was born. So basically the card was more for his mother than him - he could care less! I do know that she is a beginner scrapbooker and the card will have a place in his baby book and it won't go to the trash. I think my card came out darling. I like it!

Well I hope you all have a wonderful holiday weekend. Thanks for stopping by.
