Birthday Card For Brother In Law





Well, I actually made two cards for him. But one is an 'adult' version and I just don't think it would be appropriate to post on a blog. LOL! All I can say is that its amazing how versatile George or Plantin can be. :) Who'd have thought it could make a portion of the male anatomy? I sure didn't! But hubby's side comment got me thinking and so I just had to after that! But there was NO WAY on gods green earth I was signing my name on it. Jaryd and I signed the more appropriate and kid friendly card above.

I'll be back to edit this post and let you know what cartridge I used for the biplane. For whatever reason it escapes me at the moment. I do know that I used rockstar dcwv paper. The one with the lion on it. I just used the portion with the blue and swirls. I'll use the lion on something else. Biplane cut at 2.5" with a small hand cut banner towing behind. Sentimental happy birthday stamp. Oh, I also used a small piece of twine for the rope that pulls the banner. Liquid applique for the clouds. I just love that stuff. I sure hope I find it in my stocking this year. (Michelle, this is a very thinly veiled hint!) LOL! In fact, I would really love to find it in a giant tube or something. Its great on a lot of stuff to add dimension. And I thought made the perfect clouds.

Feeling very bummed that I didn't do many halloween crafts this year. Could have been because of the baby shower, but I really think its just because I got so busy. Hopefully I can sit down and get some thanksgiving cards out and then christmas. Its that time already! Sheesh... Okay, I am not going to gripe. I just love this time of year.

And, in case I am not back beforehand, HAPPY HALLOWEEN everyone.
