xoxo - Polaroid frame

Sneaking in this monthly challenge image in the nick of time! I was inspired by Ashley's Polaroid frame magnet creation.

Now I just need a small photo to tuck behind it :)

Special delivery... Happy Birthday

Hello friend! Thank you for visiting my blog today. I pinned this card eons ago and I have finally CASE-ed it :) It's such an elegant and beautiful design.

I used the big bloom from Verve's "Surely Goodness" and Concord and 9th's "Perfectly Penned". I love how the sentiments intended for the envelope work so well on this card! Easy-peasy and finished with some rhinestones.

Birthday "hi"!

Crafty friends are the best! Christina (of Christina Hor Designs) (she organizes the Cards for Little Hearts card drive!) recently gifted me the MFT balloon shaker die and it was very handy for this pint-sized card, for a pint-sized person :)

I also followed Christina's sponged sky background tutorial!

The card measures 3 1/2 x 6 3/8. The koala is from MFT Cuddly Koalas, the "BIRTHDAY" is from Lawn Fawn's So Much To Say, and I generated the rest of the sentiment on the computer. "1st!" are some leftover stickers from Michaels.

I started with the sketch from Your Next Stamp's challenge #86, but it got a bit lost along the way, haha. The colours are still there though!
