Happy Birthday to… a Little Someone

I’m still plugging along on these birthday cards.  I can’t believe I need so many this month.  (It’s fun though.)  🙂

Happy Birthday

Here I’ve used My Balloon, one of the very sweet Pure Innocence girls from My Favorite Things.  I colored the image with markers, the ground with pencils, and paper-pieced the balloon.

I had originally thought to place three buttons to the left of the image but decided I liked the flowers better.  I simply cut them from the patterned paper, inserted a brad in each center and adhered them over the buttons with glue dots.

To create the sentiment, I used “happy” from MFT’s My Basket of Eggs set and “birthday” from My Balloon.

I do need to become a little more creative with my finished insides.  I think they’re all looking the same.  (I’ll try to work on that.)

Tomorrow is my daughter’s birthday and I need to make 36 cookies n’ cream cupcakes for her to take to school (or for me to take to the school) so I better get busy crushing those cookies.  🙂  Thanks so much for stopping by!  Have a great day!
