Recent Birthday Creations

I have several November/December birthdays in my family and I do try to make specialized cards when I have the time.  This fall was one of those times.  I am sharing three cards in this post, starting with one I created for my mama who turned 83 a week ago.

 

I created this one with a mix of products from Spellbinders.  I must have something for hands and bracelets because I own at least three die sets from different companies.  Mama loved this one.  

I created this next card for my new son-in-law.  He hasn't received it yet but I do think he'll like it.  He is in his first year of law school in Columbia, SC where their mascot is... get this... The Gamecocks.  Yeah, I still giggle when I say that.  Their colors are red and black so I did my best with the only "cock in my stash."  (yeah, giggling at that too.)

The rooster is from Erin Lee Creates, the sentiment from MFT stamps, the embossing folder is from Spellbinders and the cute little chicken tracks are from Ellen Hutson.

And lastly this final one is for my grandson Fin who turns 11 in a couple of weeks.  That is so hard for me to believe.  He isn't into sharks quite as much these days but I always try to make a play on his name when designing his cards.  

The fish are from Hero Arts.  They all come in a single background die but I did add one extra one in an empty corner.  The sentiment is from Crafting Desert Divas, the background die from  and I had to add a googly eye to each fish.  Given that he's asked for cash this year I think he'll love the surprise inside this one.  *wink*

Thanks so much for humoring me.  I hope you found something inspiring in this post.
