Upcoming birthdays - Laura's sketch 15

Over at 2Sketches4You http://2sketches4you.blogspot.com/2008/12/lauras-sketch-15.html there was a lovely sketch that I had to use for a few upcoming birthdays in December and January. All three cards use the same sketch, the two male birthday cards use the same papers, but each is very unique. What do you think?

Alisha's Birthday

My eldest niece was 14 on her birthday. An SCS card sketch using CTMH paper and stamps. Cuttlebugged the main panel. Just loved this colour combination!

Noah's Birthday

My Nephew, Noah, was 8 on his birthday. This was his card. Card sketch from SCS ... where else?

The Blue panel was cuttlebugged.

Hayley's Birthday

My niece, Hayley, was 4 on her birthday. I thought the cupcakes were perfect. The card sketch is from SCS.

My Sister's Birthday

My sister and all three of her children have their birthdays in October.


Marsha's card is a "Joy Fold" card from a Split Coast Stampers tutorial. I love the paper combinations I used on this one.

My Parent's Anniversary

My folks were married on October 4 1969. Thirty-nine years later and they are still the cutest thing. For their 40th anniversary next year, something special will have to be planned.

This card was a pretty quick make from a card kit from CTMH. I Cuttlebugged the card base with my textiles folder to give it a little something extra.

The Busiest Month of the year - so far

October is a busy month for celebrations in my extended family - birthdays and anniversaries galore, not to mention Thanksgiving and Hallowe'en. Needless to say, my craft room is a mess and I don't know if I can ever dig it out.

Anyway, here goes: The first occasion was Lucas' birthday - he turned two in early October. His is a spring card - from a SplitCoastStampers Tutorial - love that website. I love the CTMH stamp set I used. Perfect for little boys.
