Last minute birthday present and card

Why is it that I always seem to run out of little boy and girl cards, just when it's time to go to a party. I have heaps of 'thanks' and 'thinking of you' cards ... time to stock up I think - so many kids birthday party invites.

Well, we were off to a little 6 year old boy's birthday and left the shopping too late. We had a kite in the birthday box, but not quite enough, so I had to make something.  This is what I came up with ...


I covered some matboard with paper on one side and bazzill on the other side. (originally I was going to use Bazill for the covers, but it just wasn't strong enough to be a book cover. I used my cuttlebug 'clockwork' embossing folder, and inked all the edges with distress ink. I love the Tim Holtz cogs die too :)  I finished it off with Bo Bunny paper scraps, ribbons and rings, as well as mini alphas and BG chip letters.  Hope he liked it!

And here's a dinosaur card too.  These chip dinosaurs were out of my kids sticker stash!!  A little bit of twine, ribbon and a charm later, it's a quick and easy card.  


Thanks for popping in.  Hope you have a great rest of the week!
