Fishin' for a Birthday Wish

HAPPY BIRTHDAY DADDY! Today is my dad's Birthday, actually my parents kept all of our birthday's pretty close to each other. Over this last weekend we had our yearly Leo BBQ! This is the card I made for my dad.

Don't you just love the fishing pole brads. I picked these up from Eyelet Outlet. I thought they went perfect with the card LO. The stamp is a digi from Di's Digi Downloads.
My dad also said "don't get me any gifts, I'll make you take them back." In gruff voice. So I made him a strawberry, rhubarb pie. I'd like see him take that back teehee :) He loved it he said it had been years since he's had a home made rhubarb pie. He was thrilled. Which totally made my day.
Here is the picture of my dad's pie from his girls. My daughter helped. Thanks for stopping by have great day. If you see anything you like here- Please visit our online store LadyBird Designs

Fun Elephant SC287

This elephant is by Dustin Pike He is just so fun and cute. And another one that I colored while up in Crystal hot springs.
The paper is SU east coast prep, old olive, basic gray. He is colored with my copics, and I added a cute button just for fun to match the turquoise paper on the side.
Here is a close up of the elephant. He will be great to give for a birthday card, especially in this hot summer.

Sand Castle SC280

This little boy turned out so cute- at least I think so anyway.
Image is from High Hope little sand architect. I used some marina mist, and crumb cake for the cardstock, and some other paper from my stash. He is without a phrase at this point, I wanted to leave him open so it would be a versatile card.
I had this little starfish laying around, and thought it matched pretty well. Well, hope you are having and continue to have a great day.

Birthday Hummingbird SC284

Let me start by saying this is not one of my best cards. Although I am blogging to keep my record or crafty things. I don't like how the hummingbird turned out- so I was uninspired to finish the card. Anyway it turned out ok, and it will put a smile on someones face!
The paper is from SU, the phrase is from SU well scripted the hummingbird is a digi but I can't remember where I got it from. I did follow SC284 sort of :) I used SU my pretties kit, and eyelet punch.
I really do like the cracked glass effect. I will try this card again only with a prettier hummingbird. I think it needs more turquoise. TFL and I hope you have a great day!

Patriotic Eagle

Hi everyone!!! Happy 4th of July
I get coloring pictures through a daycare website I belong to. My daughter asked me to color this one with her. I agreed but of course with few modification. I had to scan the picture back in then print it out smaller than and 8 1/2 x 11. The red is the new SU cherry cobbler isn't it b.e.a.utiful. Naturally instead of crayons I used my copics!
The stars are?---You guessed shrinky dink!!!!! I used my SU large star punch to cut them out-then applied heat with my heat tool to shrink them!!!!

I used SU dazzling diamonds on the fireworks and stars on the flag. After I got done coloring him, I had to make a card- so he is going to be for DB (darling boyfriend) to wish him happy 4th--we have 6 kids combined, and this weekend is a treat because we get to spend some time alone! I am quit excited.
Here is the picture my little girl colored. He is just an adorable eagle. Have a great 4th everyone---God Bless

Elegant Peacocks

Not only does Shanice's girlfriend get a bachelorette party but she also gets a bridal shower. Totally spoiled right. So this is the invitation that we came up for this one. Shanice wanted to do a date night theme for the party. This is what I came up with.
Now they are designed-she just has to put them together.
Shanice went to the store and looked for the perfect background paper. She brought some over for me to look at. We didn't like any. So I created this one. On plain white cardstock, using my SU very vintage wheel with soft suede. Then I stamped this perfect little peacock from SU very thankful in the brides colors. You see the brides thing is peacocks. So this became the background.
Envelopes, stamped in tempting turquoise. Please check back on this one too-I am also making a bridal shower cake for this party!!!!
