Storybook Birthday Card

Welcome back to another week of cards inspired by AHSC sketches!

My niece had her second birthday on the weekend, and my ten year old son wanted to help me make a card for her. Of course, the Storybook collection was perfect and combined with the sketch, this card came together so easily!

We used some Blue Belle glitter paper for the background, and added a sticker and die cut from the Storybook collection. The sketch had some cloud-looking parts too, and so I used some cloud thin cuts and my son sponged around them and adhered them with foam tape. He even coloured in the horn and the mane and tail of the unicorn with my Watercolour Pencils. 

Didn't he do well? Its so nice to hang out at my craft desk with him.

Thanks for stopping by today to check out my interpretation of the sketch, and we do hope youll join us for your own ideas at Atlantic Hearts Sketch Challenge!

Australasian Storybook Blog Hop

Hello and welcome aboard our Storybook Australasian Close to My Heart Blog Hop. 

If you have arrived here from Scrappy Chicks then you are in the right place. 

If you landed here by accident, no problem, please join in by following the link at the end of this post. 

Today I would like to share with you a creation which features Close To My Heart’s February Featured collection, Storybook. 

I was recently in a Fairy Tale show featuring Prince Charming, the 3 Little Pigs, The Big Bad Wolf and all other sorts of fairytale creatures, so of course I had to make a layout to showcase the photos!

Let's have a look at the left hand page a bit more closely. 

I used the elements from the Storybook Scrapbooking Workshop Kit, mixing the stars from Project 3 with the layout design of Project 2 to create my own page. The title and papers were just perfect to show me acting on stage!

How amazing is this castle? The black accents are from the Storybook Die Cuts and are just stunning in person. You can also see some of the smaller die cuts on my layout. The drama queen sticker from the Storybook Paper Packet and Sticker Sheet was also perfect!

The right hand side will prove a background for more photos of the performance- I am so annoyed that I can't show them to you yet but I am waiting on the professional ones. 

The Prince Charming sticker and die cut crown will be perfect next to the photo of our very own Prince Charming, one of the stars of the show. 

The drama masks on the left hand side as well as this title that I stamped in the star, are from the Star of the Show Stamp Set, which obviously I needed in my stamp collection. 

Here's a little sneak peek of the show, written up by the newspaper!

This exclusive Storybook collection is only available for the next two months- if you love it then grab it quickly as things are selling out so fast this quarter!
