Laila is 9!

 Gee, it's hard to believe my great granddaughter turns 9 today.

 Here is a picture from her blog debut in 2014.

That shirt and those earrings still fit this old grandma!

 

 

 Every year since then I have made Laila a card using a set of quilted numbers digital stamps from Beccy's Place.   Here is her card for this year using the digi for number 9.  

 I printed and fussy cut the precolored lion digi image.  I also printed just the lion's head and fussy cut that.  The head is attached to the card with an Action Wobbler from Art Impressions.  It's cute when it jiggles.

I made the center step card, following online directions from Splitcoast Stampers.  I didn't realize I'd end up with a 5 1/2" square card.  I brought some square envelopes with me to FL but they measured 5 1/2 x 5 1/2, so the card didn't fit.  I ended up making an envelope, addressing it and sealing it without putting the card inside.  Luckily I was able to open it without damage and inserted the card. 

 

Laila is getting so grown up.  Just look at her now.

 

Tuesday Morning Sketches Challenge #643

 

Welcome to my blog, where I have
a new card to share with you each week for

Tuesday Morning Sketches 

 

Here is this week's sketch:

 

The design team is taking turns choosing their favorite sketch from 2021.  This sketch is Tammy's's favorite.

 

My great granddaughters all have winter birthdays.  Luna's was in December, Lahna's was in January, and Laila, who will be 8 this year, has a February birthday.

This card is for her.

 

 

 Every year since Laila was born, I have made her a special card using quilted digi numbers from Beccy's Place.  I'm glad I purchased the whole set, because I think they are retired now. I colored this one with markers.  The sentiment was computer generated.

 

Happy 8th Birthday, Laila!!!! 

I hope you'll have time to play along at

And Another December Birthday Card

 This birthday wasn't in my birthday book.  It's actually a new one.  Happy 1st Birthday to my great-granddaughter, Luna.

A center step card was the perfect way to show off this number 1 digi from Bugaboo Stamps.

 Here's a photo from Thanksgiving.   Luna is getting a dump truck ride, thanks to big sister, Laila.
