Well, as per my usual, I can't seem to get it together... oh well, I try. Somehow every one of my family has gotten sick except me. I'm fully suspecting to get it over Thanksgiving, but I am still fighting it anyway. Love Airborne. A lot has happened lately...my daughter finished up her freshman volleyball season and did fantastic! Her Sports Awards were last night and I have to toot her horn because she was one of the "Scholar athletes" with a 3.5 GPA or better! I'm SO proud of her! She had an incredible season and improved immensely in volleyball. They even showed her twice in the wrap up video at the awards last night! Here are her pictures!
We also finished up Baseball with my son...another great season! We have jump rope club going on for my youngest three and the list could go on. It's been busy busy, but I know someday this will end and I'll be sad that I don't have it anymore. So I am trying to enjoy every minute of it!
In there we also had another birthday! My daughter celebrated her 12th birthday and wanted a pair of black converse shoes with pink stitching badly. Unfortunately, we had already purchased her presents, but I wanted to make a card to reflect this, so here is her card. Of course, I got the idea from Pinterest and just changed it up a bit to make it fit. Why re-invent the wheel, right?
The front was made by embossing stitching lines and coloring them with alcohol markers since I did not have the right color embossing powder. (You would think with 3 girls I would have pink right?) Then I got my old Making Memories tool kit out (haven't seen that in a while) to place the eyelets for the laces and at the bottom. I cut a 1 1/4" circle and a 1" star with my trusty Art Philosophy Cartridge and drew a line with my ruler at the bottom. Threaded the "laces" and adhered it to the front of the card.
I used our awesome Artist cartridge for the gift card insert inside and stamped with Words of Comfort (C1524) and 4 my Friend (D1510).
I also had to show off my 7 year old's card she made for her big sister! I thought she did a GREAT job! I love her doodling!
