Birthday Card for Michael And Some Party Pictures

Hi everyone. I’m here with another card, one I made for my little brother Michael who turned 1 year on the 29th of January.

I sometimes struggle to make masculine cards, since I can’t find much boy embellishments and I don’t work easily with buttons.

But I liked this card a lot!!

I have used an old stamp I have forgotten about.

And used it for this card.

I stuck a 1,2,3 on pop-ups in the middle of the card.

I wrote “Gelukkige 1ste Verjaardag Michael!” in Afrikaans, which means Happy 1st Birthday Michael.

I would also like to take part in the following challenges:

Aly's Sunday Challenge  - For the guys

Let's Ink It Up - Anything Goes

Alphabet Challenge  - "M" is for men

He had a Pirate party and here are some pictures:

On the morning of his birthday, opening his presents.

He got balls, a big one a three little ones.

Look at his little face!

He also got two hard cover books.

We made little treasure boxes, and put sweets inside including chocolate money!

We decorated the boxes with gold sprayed noodles.

And here is the cake..................

We made a Pirate boat!

From the back.

From the side 

And CJ’s (my eldest brother) anchor!

The party table

All the Pirates! 

(Michael didn’t want to wear his pirate dress-up stuff!)

Check out CJ and Josua’s faces!

They drew the mustache with a black pen.

Even Andrew and David had their pirate faces on!

Daniel only whore his bandana.

And some of the girls where dressed as princesses!

Blowing the candle!

I hope you liked the pictures and my card!

Have a blessed day

New Friendship Card - For Stampin for the Weekend

Hello everyone! I hope you all had a good week!

Today I would like to show you a card I made for Stampin for the Weekend.

The theme for this fortnight’s challenge is:

New and Blue!!

It can be a new baby, new home, new stash, anything new, BUT NO wedding please!

I decided to make a new friendship card.

“I’m Sorry... Let’s Start Over” let’s start the friendship over, make it new!

I actually made this card with scrap paper, and I think it came out nicely!

I used a Sugar Nellie stamp and colored her with the following Promarkers:

Spice, Cora and Apricot - for her hair

Blush - for her skin  

Cyan and Sky blue - for her dress

Rose Pink - for the bow and patch on her dress and her shoes

Carmine - for the bow in her hair, patch and lace on her dress and the flowers.

Apple - for the leaves

Cool Grey 1 - for all around the stamp

I used some of the beautiful flowers and pins, that I got for Christmas.

I put a pretty pink bow on the right half way down the card.

I wrote “I’m Sorry... Let’s Start Over” in a pretty little shape.

And then decorated it with little pearls.

I also added some pearls in the bottom left corner of the card.
