happy 1st birthday

This is by far one of my most loved cards to create – a card to celebrate my granddaughter’s first birthday! My daughter wanted elephants and florals for her party. I created the invitations with that theme. I shared that last week. I decided those adorable elephants would be perfect for her birthday card as well.

The pink panel was created by smooshing colors on a piece of watercolor paper. I also watercolored the little elephant and balloon.

It has been such a joy to watch my granddaughter grow over the past twelve months. From those first sweet snuggles holding a new born to the smiles and babbles to waving HI to grandma over a Facetime call. Melt my heart. I look forward to each new moment with this little sweetheart. Miss Amelia Mae, you fill my heart with joy.

Hello crafty friends! Are you ready for another challenge from the Paper Craft Crew? Let’s try a little Tic Tac Toe shall we –

Pick a row – horizontal, vertical, or diagonal – and incorporate those three things into your creation. I chose the center horizontal row: Birthday Celebration, Use a Die or Punch and Feminine. It was perfect since I was making invitations for my Granddaughter’s FIRST Birthday celebration!

My daughter requested elephant and florals. This adorable little elephant from My Favorite Things was perfect. I colored her and the balloon with Copic Sketch markers.

The floral patterned paper is from Carta Bella. So sweet! I think it hits the mark for the tic tac toe challenge. I loved creating these for my sweet little granddaughter. I used this Adorable Elephants set from MFT for her birthday card as well. Check back on her birthday -Valentine’s day for that one. Best Valentine I ever received!

For now, be sure to check out more great creations for this challenge over on the Paper Craft Crew blog. Join the fun and play along!
