I made the perfect birthday card for my dad! Perfect because he loves to sit in his recliner and watch TV and even more perfect because my siblings and I bought him a new TV for his birthday. Perfect, I tell you!
Here's the inside. The sentiment cracks me up and I think the remote controller is so cute!
And now for something even cuter. If you want you can skip this part, but if you want pure sweetness, then, read on. While I was making my card, one of my 5 year olds wanted to make a card, too. So I helped her a bit, but she did all the stamping and coloring and picked out the papers (mostly because I used those papers, too.) Here is her card:
Then, I had to go out for a while and left Daddy in charge of things. So, since one twin had made a card, the other wanted to make a card, too. Completely unsupervised and unassisted, she made this card: All hand cut by the way, they don't know how to use the paper trimmer, thank God!
And I guess she decided it was such a success that she made a second one. And look 3 different sheets of patterned paper (that I bought myself for Christmas by the way) mutilated, I mean, cut into. But it is really cute, and she actually picked papers that went well together. And you can't tell, but there are about 4 layers of flowers all popped up on pop dots.
Aren't these cards just the cutest things??!! Remember, they are only 5 years old.
