Happy Birthday done two ways

Happy Friday everyone!

Today I'm sharing two birthday cards.

One is for a friend who has a birthday today and is having a party

we'll be attending.

The second is for my Father-in-law who has a birthday in March.

I apologize for the photos. I have trouble photographing metallic papers.

A fun coincidence...my friend's Christmas decor wound up matching

the card I made her.

George's card is almost the same but done in a darker, more masculine palette. 

I used balloons from 5455 – Birthday Buggy Set from Art Impressions.

It's fun that you can create such different looks with the same sets

just by switching out the colors.

Seas the Day from Art Impressions

 Hello Ai fans!

Today I'm sharing a summer themed card with you that I made using the 5455 – Birthday Buggy Set and the 5509 – Beach Accessories.

The Ai Rides series is so much fun because you can mix and match all of the sets to create just the theme you want.  

My card was made with the Art Impressions Summer Fun challenge in mind.

I also used 5399 – Gull-Friends Set for the verse, shell, starfish and of course the adorable seagull. 

I mean, what beach scene is complete without a seagull?

My mom's first car was a powder blue 65 VW Bug so I modeled my car after hers.
