Birthday Diva!

My youngest niece turned 6 last week (yes, I gave her the card on time, just a little late with the post J).  Last year I gave her this guitar for her birthday.  She absolutely loved it.  In fact a few weeks ago she told me that she had been rockin’ it hard.  I got so tickled.  Being that we call her the drama queen of the family and that she had been “rockin’ it” I came up with this idea for her birthday card: 

Recipe

Sweet 16 birthday card for niece

One of my nieces is turning 16 this month...WOW, I can't believe it!  Well she is just a great young lady, so just a standard sentiment wouldn't do.  I wrote her a poem to go on the inside of the card.  I sure hope she likes it!

I used Hello Kitty Font for her name on the front of the card.  The embossing folder is Spring Flowers.  This was a very simple card.

Birthday Present for 5 Year Old Niece

So my outgoing, energetic five year old niece tells me about a month ago that she wants a “pink guitar with real strings” for her birthday. Well, after searching around I found a guitar that was the right size and the right price (I mean she is five!). Unfortunately it wasn’t pink. As I was standing there contemplating whether I wanted to spend the time spray painting it and worrying it may damage the instrument, a light bulb came on! PINK VINYL!!! BUTTERFLIES, FLOWERS, GLITTER!!! CRIIIIIIIIIIIIIICUT!!!!!! That was it! I knew exactly what to do to girly it up. Here is what I came up with…I thought it would be cool to put her first and middle name on it too…isn’t her name the perfect rock star name? Emma Raye, rocker chick. Isn’t it the coolest?! She sure thought so. Scored some points for Uncle Alan and Aunt Brandi! Here are before and after pics…

I finished my album!

I had a great time scrapbooking this weekend and although I am sad that it is over I beaming because I finished my album. Now I get to start on my next one! I completed 14 pages which covered Oct 2008 and two events…a 40^th birthday for the bank I work for and the wedding of a long time friend. I took pictures and upload them for you all to see. I hope you enjoy!
