Leon’s third birthday card

My cousin Leon turned three a few days ago and he wanted a white dress for a princess costume. He was very certain with the looks of the dress, no puffy cupcake-styled dress! It was supposed to be simple with some pearls and a necklace. So I made him a card, found a dress (wish I’ve had time to sew one for him instead) and pimped it a bit. I think he liked the dress but he did look somewhat disappointed when he opened the present. We asked him to put it on with the tiara and all and he did, he’s such a sweet boy! Now I have the perfect picture for his graduation day, he he. Just another 15 years to go!

Here’s the card and the dress:

I decided to make an easel card for the Alota Rubber Stamps’ challenge #81 and since the card is for a young boy I decided to enter Going Buggy’s April challenge which was  to make a card for a child, any age, too!
The card was easy to start with, I had to have Lightning McQueen on it since it’s his favorite from Cars! The letters are just a lot with all the colors but it turned out OK and I got an opportunity to use them!

 

 

A card for a friend’s nephew

A friend from work has a nephew who turned two a week ago or so and I promised to make him a card to give away with the gift. I decided to enter the Mojo Monday challenge # 238 which was to make a card using this sketch on the right side. I love sketch challenges since my main issue is to figure out the layout for my cards.

Anyway, here is my card for Elmer:

More HAMA beads

One of my previous colleagues asked me to make him the apple logo from hama beads (I showed him the ones I made a while ago) and in the middle of the crafting another friend of mine asked me to make him Megaman for his son. So I finished them both and here’s the result!

The apple was a bit tricky to make, not completely satisfied but I got tired and went to bed.. I’m always exhausted on Friday nights.
