Happy Birthday Card

Hi Everyone! Back again this week with a new project for P&P Creations.

I just want to start out by saying that it has been a BEAUTIFUL Sunday here in the Spring/Tomball area!
Of course today is Super Bowl Sunday and most of you are probably at a party right now. We are staying home this year and not even hosting a party like we usually do.
The day started off with home made Belgium waffles and Starbucks Verona coffee. Then we took our doggies for a walk which they really enjoyed.
The dogs have been playing around outside most of today especially while my husband was outside grilling some bratwursts. I took some really cute pics for Project Life and to use on Facebook.

Well for this week's project, I wanted to make another card as there are several family members birthdays coming up in the month of February and March.
I am not going to specify on this post who the card is meant for just in case they do check out this blogpost :)

I will say its a masculine card. I really enjoyed making this card as it challenged me to come up with something that was not too feminine.

My card is a standard A2 size (4 1/4 x 5 1/2) and the card base was made with Papertrey Ink cardstock in Enchanted Evening and Kraft. The patterned paper I used is from Crate Paper's Storyteller 6x6 paper pad. I really love these patterns. I should of bought them in 12x12 size but instead bought the small paper pad.

Here is a picture of my card:






I did some stitching around the card and over the top of the banner shape. I really like how the papers look together. The kraft colored tag on the front is from Basic Grey Clippings collection - from their Snippets pad.

The card is not completely finished - I am planning on using October Afternoon's mini market alphabet stickers to spell out the name on top of the kraft tag and stamp the birthday date as well.
I did this just in case the recipient decided to check out my blog :)

Well in other P&P news - my husband bought me a video camera yesterday as an early Valentine's present. Yay!! Now I can film more videos! :)
I already did one with my new camera. I decided to showcase some of the stuff I bought at Stampin' Up which came in this last week.

I am hoping to do more videos now that I actually have a camera so check out my You Tube page. I will also have a link to my videos from my blog.

I have some ideas for videos but do not want to share too much right now, will keep it a surprise :)

So checkout my newest haul video below:






Total video is 15 minutes - I really need to keep it less. Promise to do better for next time :)
Most of it is my rambling and thoughts on my purchase.


Well I hope you all enjoyed my project as well as my newest video.

Stay tuned next week for another project here at P&P Creations!

I hope you all have a great week!
