Evan's Birthday Card


Uuuggghhhh!!! It's snowing here again! And the boys have yet another snow day home from school. This uses up their last built-in snow day for the year...after this, they start tacking them on to the end of the year. :( I got my creativity flowing this morning while the snow was coming down. I have been so busy making invites and thank you's that I almost forgot about the most important card...Evan's birthday card. His birthday is tomorrow and he'll probably get the day off from school too seeing as the snow is REALLY coming down. I decided to stick with the Colts theme but didn't want his card to look like the invites or thank you's. So, this is what I came up with. I used 3 Birds on Parade for the little football playing birdie, Create a Critter for the horseshoes for his little helmet and jersey (I cut an extra wing a bit bigger and cut off the end to give his jersey a sleeve), and Celebrations for balloons and the number 7's. I inked all the edges, added some string to the balloons and tied them to the little birdie's tail! I looked online and found this awesome picture of a Colts rug that looks like the actual football field. I printed it off and used it for my background. I stamped a simple "Happy Birthday" on the inside. So, do you think he'll like it?? TFL
