Amelie's birthday card

Amelie turned two on Sunday and we had a party for her on Saturday. For some reason I decided to make her cake myself - a pile of "building blocks" with the letters of her name on:

I also did her a digital card, which just happens to tie in with this week's Papertake challenge of using downloaded items on a card - in this case, the papers are from Scrap Girls' "Birthday Party" collection and the main image is one of the Numberjacks (one of Amelie's favourite TV shows) downloaded from the CBeebies website and coloured in on Photoshop.

And last, but by no means least, here's a pic of the birthday girl herself at her party. When I've got time I'll put some more party pics up on Facebook for those of you who are interested!

Thanks for looking,

A card at last!!

This is the first card I've made for a couple of months now - I'm ashamed to say I've bought cards for most birthdays and other occasions so far this year :( I've just been too busy, and have got out of the habit. I've tidied up my card making area now, and now work has quietened down a bit I'm hoping to start making cards again.

This card is for one of Amelie's little friends, Jacob. He was the first born to the group of five of us who met at antenatal classes and still keep in touch. It's his party this afternoon - a hall full of toddlers sounds like the recipe for a headache, so wish me luck!

The cat die-cut is Moggi from Lili of the Valley. The paper is from a stack I've had in the drawer for ages but haven't used! I've sparkled the card up a bit with some glitter glue on the number 2 (which is cut with my Sizzlits "Round-A-Bout" alphabet set), the candles and the centres of the circles on the patterned paper.

Thanks for looking!
