Birthday class

I’m doing a birthday class for a friend, Jen.  This will be so fun! img_9978_1

Each project was so fun to make.  img_9992_1

That one was CASE’d almost exactly from Beate.  Check hers out here.  I liked it too much to change anything. :)

This next one is a gift card holder.

Target gift card not included in the class. ;)

I used Jill’s measurements for that one.

And every so often you just need a simple, masculine 3×3 card to attach to a gift.

This last one came together so fast.  My husband was working in the office next to me, and I turned around to show my finished box to him.  His response?  “Whoa, did you just make that?  That fast?” img_9994_1

Yes, it really is that fast.  Love the Big Shot.

I don’t usually do these challenges with a particular person in mind, but I thought I’d try it this time.  I like how it turned out, with the exception of the letters.  They looked cute all crooked-y until I assembled the card. :)

I do love these little letters, just not crooked.stamp_princess_birthdayStraight would look better, no? :)   Now I know for next time. ;)   Tee hee.

But I do love this paper, and how handy that it fit with the colors for the challenge this week! :)
