A Little Bit of Creating: Two Birthday Cards

Hello to all and I hope that you are well.

We returned from The Nest on Tuesday, and I have finally caught up on my laundry chores, grocery shopping, and about everything I had neglected before we left.

We completed most of the interior trim work around the windows up there, and it is looking so much better. I will post more about that some time in the future. In a word, I am TIRED!

This month we celebrate both my daughter's and granddaughter's birthdays, so I created a couple of cards. I haven't had much creative time for more than that, I'm afraid!

This is the one for my daughter.

If it is vaguely familiar, that is because I created one

just like it for my Etsy shop.

It sold, and I really enjoyed making it,

so I made another...

Who can resist these beautiful little girls?...

Here is the inside, which was from some old scrapbook words

that I have had...

My granddaughter just made her high school varsity

cheerleading team,

so I couldn't resist making the card below.

I found this old photo on Etsy or eBay (I forget which),

and absolutely loved it.

The digital chalkboard papers are from an Etsy shop

called Kitty Papers.

I thought the 50s photograph needed some

pink!...

I cut out the cheerleaders

and gave them some dimension with pop-dots.

I also glittered the letters on their sweaters,

which doesn't show up well on these photos.

Remember when cheerleaders looked like this?

I think that these were even a little before my

days in high school,

(though probably not much!!).

I didn't want to make the card too heavy,

as it will go through the mail...

The inside I did with my computer...

Lately I have been using more digital scrapbook papers than paper packs.

In a future post I will share a couple of my favorite shops on Etsy,

and what I do with the papers when I print them.

Have a wonderful weekend friends!
