the birthday queen should have made an appearance on Tuesday to wish Michele a wonderful day - so she's makin an
appearance today - better late than never. And whilst we're doing that I'm gonna show you the little project I was working on - a little book for Michele.The ribbon is gettin in the way of some of the words but it says:
Are you ready? Cue music; Hit the lights; add a little birthday candle action; Now lets all sing.....
If blogger wasn't a pain when you post a lot of pics - well i might format this a little differently but actually you can see how it reads. The words to the song are on your left and the little illustrations are to your right. I don't know if other families sing the "how old are you now" part but we always did - and still do to this day - so i threw that in as well. (yes - i ran out of time and i had to give in and print some of the last verse - the how old are you now part - if i didnt this little book would still be sitting here and it was late as it was with the MLK holiday). I used a lot of Purple Onion Designs stamps, natch :-) and my own little drawings that i drew on bristol board, inked then colored in with prismas and odorless mineral spirits (mcpt technique). Oh yeah - i used my binditall to put the whole thing together - i just love my binditall!
I better run - have a good one! And Michele - happy birthday again missy!
....edited to add - i totally forgot to edit these photos so they're gonna come out large when you click - sorry about that!
