This weekend is the birthday of both my MIL and my SIL. They share a birthday tomorrow. My MIL will be 100 years old!! I can only imagine all that she's seen in her lifetime..from horse and buggy to the internet! Amazing.
Hubby and his sister are planning a special party for her but we didn't want to forget that it's also his sister's birthday. She's a little more than a decade older than he is so we thought the best thing might be a gift card to a favorite restaurant. I created a little non-Christmasy gift card holder for her. These are so simple...just a half sheet of cardstock scored at 2 1/2" and 6 inches. Fold, attach the ends of the bottom fold with some Scor-Tape or other strong tape and decorate away.
Since he's hand carrying the holder, I went with a bumpy fun felt flower. The smudgy color on the yellow is actually on the designer paper itself.. I do wish I had put the two words closer together but tired eyes prevailed and I didn't catch it in time. I overstamped in grey ink to create the shadow.
To create the little doily under the flower, I cut a 4 inch paper doily into fourths, then glued 2 pieces together so that the ends came together. I crinkled them up a bit and used some Chai ink to soften the white.
Don't forget that tomorrow is the drawing for the Blog Candy! There's a link on the right sidebar to the post you need to comment on for a chance to win. I've also included some May Arts ribbon so be sure to get in on the fun.
Thanks for stopping by...it's time to bake the cookies!!!
