A Deck Of Cards

It's funny how I could just scrapbook for hours til the next morning and my husband can do the same with Poker. He just loves hanging out with the guys and telling jokes all night long. I knew I had to create a mini for him that had to reflect with his Poker. I knew creating his own deck of cards would be just perfect. I incorporated the Poker phrases and the Poker Hands. I loved that one of the hands were "Four of a Kind". Couldn't be more perfect. Just had to add the girls pictures and Princess too to create the lil' mini book. It's funny because I always wanted to learn how to play and could never seem to remember the hands. Funny how making him a mini album made me learn some of them. :) I hope he enjoys the mini as much as I had fun creating it. HAPPY BIRTHDAY Honey! I love you!

Cake Party Favors

I'm really enjoying my new XL Sizzix Pie Box die. You can create really fun party favors. Party favors are another one of my favorites next to mini albums and journaling. We're celebrating my nephew's birthday this weekend by the pool and thought the Webster's Pages Seaside Retreat collection was perfect. I didn't just want to make favors with this die, so I had to make a cake center piece too. I will be filling the favors with chocolate. "You can't have a cake without chocolate filling". heehee You can create almost anything theme with this die. I had such a blast creating these.

My Birdcage Card

Here's my birdcage for my May Birdcage Swap. I love how the rusty look turned out. I wanted my birdcage to look as though its been outdoors for all long time and just got rusted from the rain. I'm really excited to see how everyone's birdcage.
