Happy 5th Birthday Alex

Welcome! I forgot to share this card that I made for my great-nephew's 5th  birthday last week.  I always try to personalize childrens' cards and I thought using a picture of Alex would surprise him. I simply scanned a picture of him and placed his head on a digi image "Balloon Trevor" from C.C. Designs. I colored with Copics.I used a card base of white, red layers, and a layer of a digi plaid paper from Summer Driggs. Added some stripe ribbon and a 3D cut out balloon with string attached with pop up dots. The plaid layer was embossed with Cuttlebug Wicker Weave for texture. Love how cute his image turned out. I used Photoshop for editing the photo and combining the photo and image and also for the sentiment and printing the inside of his card.

Challenges to enter:
Sweet 'n' Sassy: Interior Decorating Challenge-do inside of card. Used digi image and digi paper.
Papertake Weekly: Anything Goes

I enjoy all your comments. Thank you. Theresa

Swinging with a Pinwheel

What fun to swing on a sunny day and it is even "funner" with a pinwheel!
I made a smaller version of a pinwheel that I made last week and used on this card for a challenge at All That Scraps that Patti G told me about. I used "Nora on a Swing" from C.C. Designs for my focus. Stamped her with Memento Rich Cocoa and colored with Copics and Sakura Clear Star on the wings. Sponged the sky with Memento Summer Sky. Framed the image in green satin ribbon and placed on Yellow card base. Added the pinwheel (unknown DP) with button center and twisted twine for the stick. Handwrote the sentiment and cut with Nesties Label 4. Finished with a ribbon flower.

Challenges:
All That Scraps Wednesday Challenge:  Add pinwheel to a project.
Really Reasonable Ribbon: Use handwritten sentiment and ribbon.
Stamp and Create: Theme is Summer
Hope you like Nora.

Thanks for stopping by! Theresa
