April bdays

I peiced together the background and stitched before drawing in and coloring the sandpiper. It was for my brothre-in-law who celebrated on the 16th.

I drew this off and then cut it out. A little bit tricky but well worth the effort. I then mounted it for contrast before adding to the card. This one was for my daughter-in-law who celebrated her bday yesterday!

For one of my neices who turned 19 on the 9th. Another hand drawn and lettered card with layers and ribbon.

Another neice who celebrated 35 this year. A simple and quick card. The choosing of coordinating papers took the longest.

My grandson's bday card. He turned 8 on the 1st!

The outside looked too plain so I added the lettering around the edges saying....eat cake, blow out the candles, etc

The inside before the strip is pulled showing the burning candles

and after it is pulled showing them blown out
