Benaiah's Birthday Card

Our Great Grandson, Benaiah is the sweetest kid I have ever seen and today he turns 3. He always has a smile and is such a happy guy.   And he LOVES Dinosaurs.  So, I had to make him a Dinosaur card.  Now this wasn't an easy task since I didn't have any stamps or dies of Dinosaurs.   So, I turned to my new Silhouette.  Now, I haven't used it a lot so I also had to learn how to do some things on it.  Now, I am crazy for telling you this, but I spent from 7 AM to 3 PM on this birthday card.  Unbelievable, but true.  Everyone loved the card at the party, but of course Benaiah was more interested in the toy Dinosaur than he was the card and clothes we gave him

 

 

 

I used Karen's Pop & Cut Labels Base to start the card.  When it opens the Dinosaur moves and on the inside it says Roar.  Both of these, #3 and Benaiah's name I cut with the Silhouette.  I added some "grass" under his feet and inside his mouth.

And the winner is~~~~~

I am sorry I am a day late with posting last weeks winner.  I have been serving each day this week at our church with our Day Church Camp.  Our great-granddaughter Mazelee came to stay with us for this week to attend the camp.  It has been a great experience for her and I have loved helping in the kitchen preparing food for the staff.    Mazelee is among 110 campers  and 60 staff attending this week.  Everyone is having a fantastic time singing, playing on water slides, rock climbing walls and learning about Jesus.  Such an important impact on young lives. 

 

Mazelee came up to say hi to me in the kitchen.  I didn't realize she was standing in front of the pan of food when I took this picture.   You can see the room full of kids behind her.  Great times!!!

And the winner is~~~

Challenge Card #17

We attended a beautiful wedding last night of our best friends son which was held at the Culver Military Chapel. Of course I needed to make a wedding card.  I wanted something elegant and I think a black and white always card fills that requirement.

 

This  Marianne embossing folder was a great background for this card.  On top of that I popped up the Anja Oval die using both the solid and the cut out for this card.  I scalloped the bottom of the Embossing folder with Spellbinders Curved Borders 2 and added Spellbinders solid and scalloped hearts which were also popped up.  The Love was cut from Cheery Lynn Love die and pasted onto the top of the heart.  Black was used for the back base card.  this is a 6x5 3/4 card.
