OCC Birthday Challenge...


Luckily the challenge at http://ourcreativecorner6.blogspot.com/ is to make a birthday card and gives me the ideal opportunity to add this card to my blog. It's the card I made to give James from me and Shelley.


The frog and pocket stamp I've used are from a fantastic set by Stampin up. I bought them on ebay a little while ago and have been looking forward to an excuse to use the pocket stamp to make a money holding pocket on a card.
Materials used:
  • pocket and frog stamp by Stampin up
  • computer generated 'Hoppy Birthday' background paper
  • green and white card
  • green and white background paper by DCWV (I think!)
  • denim paper
Sorry the photo is a little dark and slanted!!!

Pockets...



All week I have wanted to do the challenge on http://www.mytimetocraftchallenge.blogspot.com/ which involved making a card with a pocket. I know that somewhere in my stash I have a denim pocket that would have been ideal for this challenge but could I find it ? No, but guess what I bet tomorrow it will suddenly appear from nowhere. Does anyone else have that problem with craft stash?

Anyway at the last minute I had a change of plan and now I am so glad I did because I have had this lovely 'Happy Day Recipe ' stamp for a long time and I think it was just hanging around waiting for Baking Tilda to come along to go with it.

The papers I have used are from Making Memories and are double sided which worked well for the tag and diagonal front pocket. Tilda was painted by my daughter, Shelley, using those gorgeous pearlescent water colour paints they sell very cheaply at 'The Works'. She hadn't really meant for me to use it but as she had left it out - it sort of ended up on my card!!! That will teach her.

Inside the card is a cake stand embellishment that was part of a collection of stickers that my other daughter, Laura, brought me as a present last time she came home from Uni. Again as soon as I saw it I thought of Tilda and her baking tray.

Both daughters are in the good books this week - makes a change!

Thank you so much to great friends who have become followers of my blog. Love having you around.
