It's Paper Playtime!!

Happy Monday :)  I was honored to be ask to be a guest designer over at Paper Playtime this week - thanks Janis!  The challenge this week was to create a birthday card with a sentiment.  My son turns 10 next week, so I decided to make a card for him.  Here is what I came up with:

I decided to make Andrew a spinner card.  I have made two of them before HERE and HERE, and they were both girly cards.  Andrew wanted one too,  so I came up with this.  I followed a tutorial on Glora's blog.  I created the base of the card using shapes from George.  The stars are from CAC (I think...) and the moon is a bunch of circles from George.  I sponged around the edges to give the moon a bit of dimension.  His cutie little face is from Peachy Keen's  Wide Eyed Kids.

I cut the little astronautboy from B is for Boy, and his hair is from Everyday Paper Dolls.  Andrew loves the whole idea of space and space travel.  His face is from Peachy Keen's Boy Mates.  Isn't he cute?  The paper I used is from Stampin Up, Recollections and random paper from my scrap box.  The twine is from Doodle Bug Designs.

This final face is also from Boy Mates.  I used Whimsical Designs Whimsical Fun and Everyday Sentiments for the sentiments on the card.  Andrew and I used to say "I love you to the moon and back" every night before he went to bed, he will still do it sometimes when he is feeling lovey :)  I love how this turned out, and I hope that Andrew will too!

So, hop on over to Paper Playtime, and be sure to play along with us :)  I am sure the DT will inspire you with all of their amazing projects!
