Today I have two projects that I completed over the weekend for two of my besties' birthdays. The first is a birthday card for my sister who loves mermaids, especially Ariel, from Disney's The Little Mermaid. So, when I received my first Your Next Stamp set, Little Darling Mermaid, just in time for my sister's birthday, of course I had to use it! This was one of those cards where I didn't have a plan or even a layout in my head, but it just all came together so perfectly in the end. I started with the stamped image and colored it, and then from there one idea led to another until - "Voila!" - it was complete! I was so excited to put that baby in the mail.
The second project is a shadow box for my best friend. I wanted to do something fun and uplifting to make her smile. I knew I wanted to feature kites and clouds, so I started with those, and then after browsing pictures on Pinterest I got my inspiration. Pinterest is so great for getting ideas flowing when I get stuck and just need a nudge to get going again. I love how it turned out! So much so that I may have to make another for myself! I can just picture it sitting on my desk at work. :)
Have a great day!
