Grandkiddies invaded us over the weekend,after I'd just managed to 'tidy' by craft room, only to have it back to its normal untidiness in a matter of seconds! 'I want to play with the monster Charley game' sez Oliver, 'Nanny where are the monsters?' 'Nanny I want to make a card! What's this do. What are these? Can I use this? ' sez Niamh turning the handle on the big shot...and then 'I like this little one Nanny!' she sez pointing to the little mini Gemini. 'I want to make a card with this.' and again from Oliver, 'Where's the monsters Nannie?'
In the end Oliver went off with the Chase Me Charley Board, seen in WOYWW a little while back, after I'd found him the new monsters and the new dice. Then Niamh soon chose her papers after sorting through about a dozen boxes.
Niamh picked a midnight scene of a deer family from 'The Little Book of Foxy and Friends' by Hunkydory. Matted that on some purple mat mirror card and then onto a 5x7 white card. Then added a Happy Birthday sentiment.
The inside came from PaperCraft Essentials #198 'Fairy Wishes Foiled Collection' papers, (there's also a fairy freebie download, you may have to sign in first) and added a black silhouette diecut from the same paper pack. After she found the diecut she wanted (made easy as I sorted a lot out a few weeks ago) she used the BigShot to cut it out and fixed it to the inside page. She covered her message as she didn't want anyone to see it!
Sorry my picture of the finished card didn't come out so good, but Niamh was very pleased with it!
And this is the aftermath! The, 'What are these Nanny?' were the packet of wobblers. And shown here are the half price dies from The Works, and the box of 'Monsters and dice' that Oliver wanted. Niamh even knew the name of the 'Snow Buddies' paper pad and took a few home to finish...along with envelopes, little cards and glue.... "Can I have that one Nanny....it's got more glue in it!" Of course you can...
I'm tired out, but it was great fun! Thanks for stopping by!
Well done, Niamh! Super cute card!
ReplyDeleteSounds like your grandkids are dear to your heart. Love your grand daughter's card. It is so cute. I can well imagine everything being in a mess afterwards. I have 3 nieces who used to do it to me when they were little. Have a good weekend. Tomorrow is Thanksgiving Day for us. Edwina Brown
ReplyDeleteShe is a little artist. I wish my grandkids, who are all grown up, and the great grandkids would invade my house. LOL
