Pink Dinosaurs and Birthdays
September is a month of birthdays in my family. My granddaughters, my DMIL, two of my four sons and a DDIL all have their big day.
When my granddaughters were here their dad decided to take a seat in my craft room and try making them each a card. They turned out really cute and I’m so bummed that I forgot to take pictures of them. *hint hint, Gary* While the girls were browsing through my stamp collection they came across SU!’s Prehistoric Pals and wanted their dad to make them dinosaur cards! lol Well the weather turned around, the rain stopped and it was time to head back out to the lake. So those cards never materialized… until now. Their birthday was the perfect occasion for pink dinosaurs. And I absolutely LOVE Basic Grey’s new “Eva” designer paper. I’ve used five different designs from the collection on these cards. The butterfly is a Martha Stewart punch. I added a little Stickles to them for some sparkle.
Happy Birthday, girls!!!
