150 HAPPY BIRTHDAY CARDS COMPLETED!

Here are the last of the 150 Happy Birthday Cards with a sport theme! I had set this as a goal for the Foster Kids in my county. It took a while and I am satisfied that I completed this task. I have to decide what cards I want to work on next. We have an ongoing request for Birthday, Graduation, Adoption, Valentine and Christmas Cards. After all of the sporty cards, I think I would like to make something girly. But, FIRST, I must clean my studio. Thanks for stopping by! Have a great day! More to come!

RECYCLED NEWSPAPER AD CARD

I was going to run errands this morning but it was raining with thunder and lightning so I shut down the computer and went into the studio to PLAY! I had a leftover advertisement from Sunday's Tampa Tribune featuring Disney. It looked like designer paper to me so I used my square paper punch and punched out several squares and thought, "What Now?"

I used four squares for a tea bag fold medallion. Then I made a "Z Fold" card base (Z Fold Directions here!) and used Labels Five Nesties for layering under the medallion. I cut more of the advertisement and used it as DP BG layers for the inside and for the back. Ha! It needed more, so I punched out corners, added a favorite sentiment from SparkleNSprinkle, a brad and a bow made from blue string. It's cute enough! Thanks for stopping by!

This is a view of the back of the card.

And THIS is the leftover scrap from the full sheet newspaper advertisement.

Recycling Rosie, that's ME!

SPORTY BIRTHDAY CARDS

This weekend I completed twenty of these Happy Birthday Cards with a SPORTY theme for the Foster Kids in my county. They will be added to the "Giving Tree" and hopefully kind folks will choose a card, add a personal note and buy a gift or donate money towards a gift for that child. So far, so GOOD! I have thirty more birthday cards to finish for this project. Thanks for stopping by. Hope you have a terrific week!
