Unique Birthday Cards

My parents birthdays are one day apart, September 12th and 13th.
This year I made each of them a displayable memory book as a birthday card.
I got the idea from a kit I saw online, but wanted to make mine from
scratch. I found simple instructions here. I was thrilled with
the outcome and so where my parents.
As always my embellishments are thrifty. I make many from
polymer clay and molds I have created. I also use ephemera I have found online.

HEATHER'S MINI ALBUM

Another mini album made with envelopes. Tutorial on YouTube here. The blue flower embellishment was made with Makin's Clay Floral Mold with polymer clay. The blue butterfly and green heart were made using molds I made with Amazing Mold Putty and charms I had on hand. I used translucent clay, then paint and varnish.

Heather is like a second daughter. She reminds me much of myself at her age. She is so expressive and creative. She does beautiful "Spoken Word" which you can see here (WARNING: PG13 for language). She's also an excellent photographer. She and my daughter start this fall at Ringling College of Art and Design.

Rolodex Scrapbook

I loved doing this project. I got the idea from a scrapbooking magazine. Cricut files for cutting Rolodex cards can be found here.

A birdie I made for my Cricut machine. Download the svg or scut file here.

MINI ALBUM

Mini album made with envelopes. I loved this project. I found the idea here on YouTube. It was so easy and the result is cute as can be.

Sir Bo Bear

My sweet little Bear. He's the King of my heart. He gives wonderful

puppy kisses. I could just eat him up. He's soooo cute!

David

David is my youngest. He's my baby that I now have to look up to see. He's a teddy bear. Gives the best hugs. David has a tender heart and though very quiet, knows how to say the right thing to encourage others when they are down. I love him more than words can say.

BLOSSOMING BEAUTY

My darling daughter Annabelle. What a beauty and in every way. She's now eighteen and all grown up. I think she may have been born that way. If there is such a thing as an old soul, I'm sure she is one. I love her dearly.

DIGITAL SCRAPBOOKING PAGE OF YOURS TRULY

This is a self portrait I took in college for a photography class. Many of the elements I created from images off the internet. I often go to wallpaper and fabric sites and make copies that I enhance or alter in Photoshop for background papers. The brooch element was created by takeing a pic I found of a brooch and enhaning it in Photoshop. The cup and bicycle are images I found at ephemera sites.
Great wallpaper site is here.
