Epic Mickey Card



It was my Husbands Birthday at the weekend and I made this card for him. He works for Disney Interactive in video games and is currently working on 'Epic Mickey'. This explains the sentiment I put on the card. I didn't have one that said that obviously so I had to get a little creative. As you can see I used traditional Mickey colors. The kids made their own cards again too. This time using a Mo Manning image from Digital Pencil Too.

Brother's Birthday


It was my Brother-in Law's birthday earlier this week and I made him a special card to celebrate him turning 40. He has special needs so lives with my husbands parents. We have been saving like crazy and are treating him to a Walt Disney World holiday at Christmas so I made an I O U to let him know and for him to have something to look forward too.


Cardstock is Real Red, Yo yo Yellow, Black and Basic Gray. I made the pocket by cutting my cardstock into an 'L' shape and then trimming it till it was the size I wanted. I used a ticket edge punch for the IOU and thickers for the 40. He loved it and is looking forward to meeting Mickey Mouse in person.


The kids seem to be enjoying making cards with me at the moment so I thought I would share with you their creations for their favorite Uncle. They used the free Digi from Whiff of Joy.

More Kids Cards


While the kids were making Fathers Day cards for their Dad they also made them for their Grandfathers too. Above They used a Karen's Doodles image for Hubby's Dad. We have 2 cats ourselves who seem to love our sofa more that their scratch post. Also he loves and has cats. Below they used a Whiff of Joy image for my Dad. My father used to be a mailman so you can see where the theme for these came in. I just love how my son made his own mailbox from a piece of my scrap DP.

Happy Father's Day


I'm just sneaking on here while hubby is watching football (soccer) to show you the card I made for fathers day and also the cards the kids made for him. My image is from squigglefly and the mouse is WOJ and the cat is Karens Doodles.


I also thought you might like to see what the kids made for their dad this year. I took them to a place called Marmalade Skies and let them decorate their own piece of art for him. They turned out pretty good and made totally with love.

School Pages


Well here we are at the end of another school year with a long 10 week summer vacation stretching out in front of us. What better time to finish up the kids school year scrap pages. This year sees my youngest on her way to 3rd grade and my eldest graduate from Elementary school and head off to Middle school this fall. Doesn't seem that long ago I was fretting over him starting Kindergarten. Time sure does fly...
