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.

Mr. Bo Bear

I decided to do another digital scrapbooking page
for Mr. Bo Bear. He's all grown up now and
cute as a button. He's my baby.

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.

GIRLY TRINKET BOX

This little trinket box I made for my daughter's girlfriend, Heather. My daughter did a gorgeous mural of Paris in Heather's bedroom using similar colors.

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.

BEN

Ben is my oldest. He is often told, "I don't know why I'm telling you this, I've never told anyone." It is because he really listens and any advise he gives is full of wisdom. He is such a delightful conversationalist. He brings depth and views to a subject that others fail to see. I love him as a Mom and as a friend.
