Birthday Boy

My grandson will be 9 years old next week. This card seems a little young for a nine-year old, however, I was totally inspired by this cute little toy.  The background is the wrapping paper which accidentally matches the colors in the toy. I bought a pack of sixlets and used only the yellow (to mimic the little yellow foam balls in the toy) and filled a treat cup...and the other day he asked me why I always put candy in their cards...duh!

 

Anyhow, this fits for the Simon Says Stamp Wednesday Challenge 'Anything Goes'.

 

 

Beautiful Birthday Butterfly

 

 

For my niece...as I was naming this post, it brought back a memory of when my niece was two years old and for her birthday she wanted a 'bootiful, bootiful, blue dress'.  She's going to be 31 years old next week and had I thought of it earlier, I would have put some blue in this card for her and reminded her of the 'bootiful, bootiful, blue dress'.

This week at Simon Says Stamp the Monday Challenge is to use Embossing Folders, I really like this 3-D folder from Tim Holtz and Sizzix.
