1st Birthdays

Good Morning!

This weekend, we celebrated my youngest granddaughters 1st birthday. Her name is Alice Rose and she is a little angel and a bit of a pistol. She is a little girl who knows what she wants and doesn't like being thwarted in that pursuit. Alice is not a fan of being corrected. She is full of smiles and mischief, kisses and tantrums. And she's not adverse to beating on you with a snorkel if you try to take it away from her (that's another story). Here she is after sampling some birthday cake....

As you can see, she "got into" her cake. Since this was such a special birthday, I thought it called for a very special card. In the new 2017-2018 annual catalog, on page 108 is the cutest stamp set and coordinating thinlits, called "A Little Wild". A perfect description of Alice Rose. The thinlits are called Little Loves and it cuts out the little animals to make really cute tags. I made a spinner card from this. Here is the card:

I cut out the little elephant using designer series paper and then used the gray water color pencil and a blender pen to give the little guy some depth. For paper I used Sweet Sugar Plum and Rich Razzleberry. The sparkle paper is the Sweet Sugarplum glimmer sheets that we got free from the 2017 Sale-A-Bration catalog. Here is a short video showing you the spinner part.

I hope you enjoyed seeing Alice's card! Check out this stamp set and thinlits - you can buy as a bundle and save 10% as well!

Until later,
Have a Blessed day!
