My Paper Creations

Birthday kitty

Did everyone have a good Christmas?  Ours was very nice.  We always go to my husband's grandparents on Christmas Eve.  Then, we were home for Christmas.  I love just staying home.  We opened stockings first.  Then, while the kids are playing with the goodies from their stockings, my husband and I make breakfast.  Then, we open presents (we had to take a break from presents this year because the little one was ready for a nap), have snacks, and later, make dinner.  A nice, relaxing day spent with the family. 

Today, I thought I would share this card with this adorable kitty image from Wild Rose Studio, a company from the UK.  I found their images this summer and they are so adorable!  I didn't get a chance to color up any of the cute Christmas images before Christmas so I'll have to create cards with them next year. 

I paired my image with some patterned papers from Cosmo Cricket's Material Girl line and colored her with copic markers.  (Sorry, I don't have the marker colors for this card as I colored the image this summer.  I know the browns are E31, E33, E35, E37 as they are the browns I usually use.)  I die cut the flower from patterned paper using the PTI Beautiful Blooms dies.  Then, I curled the edges up and tied my button in the center.


Here's a close up of the little kitty image.  Lacey carries many of the Wild Rose Studio images in her store, Stamp and Create.  I don't see the kitty, but she has lots of the other cute images.

Have a wonderful week!

some cards from my kids

Today, my kids participated in a kids challenge over on SCS.  The challenge was to create a card with 9 elements.  They had so much fun!  Here are the cards they created:

My 4 yr old daughter created this card. She loves pink! :) She picked everything for her card and looked at some of my cards to decided how she wanted to put everything together. I helped her with the stamping, tying ribbon, and cutting pieces. Her 9 elements are:
light pink patterned paper
dark pink patterned paper
image from Wild Rose Studio
pink flowers
pink rhinestones
pink ribbon
pink buttons
sentiment
pink glitter on the flower on the kitty's head

My 7 year old son made this card. He picked everything for his card. I helped him with the stamping and cutting pieces. He came up with the idea to layer the buttons and put them on the ribbon. I think I'm going to have to use that idea some time! His 9 elements are:
card base
green patterned paper
burgundy patterned paper
image from Wild Rose Studio
glittery snow
ribbon
buttons
white embellishments on buttons
sentiment

Thanks so much for any comments you leave for their cards!  I know they are going to love reading them!  Have a great night!
