50th Birthday - part 1

I made this card last year for a work colleague and its in a number of parts!

This is the front cover and I've used Distressed Diamonds papers from Dr Digi for the large number (my own template).  The die cuts are Clearly Besotted and Sizzix

And the first page I printed the sentiment onto a sheet of Bloomin' 70's papers and added Cake and Candles, coloured with Promarkers.

Next week there is more!

Dad's 70th - first two

My Dad turned 70 earlier this year and I made him an epic card to celebrate!  The cover was made using Distressed Diamonds papers from Dr Digi - I used my own large number template plus die cut letters from my Sizzix Round-a-bout alphabet.

The first page I made a disclaimer - wording was printed using the computer plus the warning triangles and I added UFO also from Dr Digi, coloured with Promarkers.

More to come next week!

Wired For Sound

Sometimes its not a good idea to take up a new hobby!  Wired For Sound from Dr Digi is a perfect example!  Coloured with Promarkers and added to the over-sided numbers with foam pads.  The papers are also from Dr Digi - Distressed Diamonds.

X Box die cut gold stars and some gold glitter glue and the card is complete!

Distressed Diamonds

Sometimes its good just to use the fabulous papers from Dr Digi to make something other than a card - here I've used Distressed Diamonds to make a pillow box and matching tag.  Easy peasy!  Fuchsia pink ribbon from my stash and I've used a Sizzix die for the tag.

I'm always surprised how easy the box is to make and the fact that it all aligns and works!  I'd like to enter the following challenges:
