Yesterday was my sister's birthday. Not only do we look alike & act alike, but our birthdays are 4 days apart. Could be a reason we act alike...we put the BULL in Taurus. We've always celebrated together and we'll be doing so this weekend. Can't wait!
Anyway... I needed to make a card for her. And since she's a bit of a fasionista like myself... I decided to use a Basically Bare Dress Form. The "skirt" is 2 layered cupcake liners. I had a card published in Cards Magazine a couple years ago using the same technique. You can see that one here... using the same kind of cupcake liners too, I might add...
I used paper from the Nikki Sivils' Audrey collection for my card & random bling for my "belt" + "necklace."
And celebrate in style? We always do!
And speaking of Basically Bare, we have a product swap coming up at the end of the month with them + Nikki Sivils. I made something fun for that yesterday.
In other news around here...
Bryn had her art show on Tuesday, her DARE graduation ceremony last night with the entire 5th grade class and a talent show this morning where she sang "A Thousand Years" with her bestie. My best friend in 5th grade & I used to sing ALL.THE.TIME. which drove the 2 boys we had assigned seats with in the cafeteria totally nuts. LOL Tomorrow I have to go back to school in the morning because she's receiving some kind of award at the all-school awards assembly and then again in the afternoon for the last day of school party.
Summer is here & I have to say, I'm not totally ready for it.
Time to figure out how we're going to stay busy. Pronto...
Whoo Hoo for a party! And whoo hoo for Bryn--holy cow that girl does it all! She is amazing :) But you already knew that . . .
She is out of school already?? We go until June 15th. Guess I have a few more weeks to make those summer plans. LOL
