A Birthday Present

Hi friends!

Wow, who would have thunk!

I'm always trying to put up pretty pictures

and think of fun posts...and

the last minute post I did last week about the 

little card I whipped up

was so popular!

Perhaps you like my little crafts?

Well good - 'cause I'm sharing another one today :)

My good friend Katie had a birthday recently

and my creative juices got flowing!

Once again, I grabbed all the things I had in my office 

that screamed "Katie" to me.  I printed up a little cover too.

She loves her some gold, mint & blush so I stuck with that theme.

(Katie and I are not lovers, however we are constantly 

on the lookout for ways to be together, so we joke that we should be sister wives

and then we could just be together all the time!)

 

Once I had all my pieces I started layering until I got this:

 

I added some paper to the inside and hand wrote a little message

 

Some coordinating paper for the envelope liner & we were cooking with gas

 

all that was left was some detail

 

and my card was complete!

Katie is a photographer, so I also embellished and framed a little print

 

and made a label for a scented candle

 

Not sure if it was a tease, or just a fun little extra

(for me it was just that it matched the scheme!)

but I stuck it all in a Tiffany's bag and was chomping at the bit to give everything to her!

So what do you think?

Do you like the gold/mint/blush combo?

Ever DIY a present?

Happy Birthday to my dear Katie!

Now it's back to the drawing board - 

I've got a few more birthday's coming up!!
