As usual the birthday snuck up on me. It was after dinner on the eve of the princess's birthday when it suddenly occurred to me that I didn't have a card for her. And as always, everybody in the house was underfoot when I needed time to myself to make something. (If I fall down the stairs and break my ankle, somehow nobody's around to help, but that's another story...)
I waited until the princess went to bed (which was waaaaay too late---for both of us) and started the agonizing process of "creating". I'm sure it comes easy to some people. I resent this.
I finally decided to go with what she loves...books and her Ipod. Well, her favorite thing is talking but I'd rather focus on the constructive aspects of her life. And the Ipod.
The book was cut from the Cricut Locker Talk cartridge and the MP3 player is from the Cricut Paisley cartridge. I used a Nesting Lace Ovals die from Lifestyle Crafts to cut the scalloped green background, which I pop-dotted for dimension. And then God smiled down on me and I found a stamp with the perfect sentiment to tie it all together. 3 a.m. and I was done and off to bed.
We aren't actually having her birthday celebration until the weekend, so my husband suggested I make a second card to give her then. What's wrong with men?
