I've been dying to show you this MDS card and coordinating scrapbook page for a couple months now, but it's been so hard to find a time to post it when there has been so many promotions and announcements (and projects surrounding the promotions and announcements) lately. But I can't wait anymore. On my last scrapbooking retreat (at the beginning of March) I worked on my youngest son's album a bit and completed a handsome, "piratey" 2-page spread…
Notice how I "connected" the 2 pages with the ribbon?
I used many embellishments in clusters as accents and then added in Luke's birthday invitation.
Here is the invitation I made with MDS. It's a trifold card.
Here are the jpegs from his invitation…
(I LOVE that expression! Doesn't he look like a fierce pirate?)
I love to decorate cakes, too. I always think I'm saving money by doing it myself, but I end up spending more because I get carried away in the fun of it all. My son is a fan of Pirates of the Caribbean. (I'm a fan of Johnny Depp.)
Luke is now 6-1/2, but aren't we all just a little behind in our scrapbooking? š
