it's Imke's turn to choose the challenge and she's saying, "Shake It!" which means she wants to see those shaker cards this week. I love me a shaker card!
This is what I did....
As you can see, I went with something a little different in the way of a shaker....I made the 8 the shaker part! My inside cutting job is a bit ragged....I wanted my Silhouette to do it but it won't read the registration marks on patterned paper so I had to do it by hand. It cut that digi candle out though. It's from Melonheadz Illustrating.
Made this for my oldest's birthday. And, shortly after, my phone spontaneously made me this...
I didn't even ask it to. A little while after I took a bunch of photos of the birthday boy and his brother and sister (who still, even at the ages they are, make me have to get slightly cross with them in order to get a decent picture) I got a notification from my phone telling me my pictures were ready. I was all like, "Huh?" and this was what it had for me. Pretty cool, eh? I told my phone it could make me these anytime.
Why not give our challenge a go this week and head on over to Little Red Wagon and link up? And, while you're there, be sure to check out the fantastic projects the other Girlfriends have created.

As You Like It: favourite colouring medium - I love my Prismacolor pencils. So easy to control how much colour you put down....and, when compared with Copics, you can't beat the price!
I love this Jan! So extremely cute, unique and perfect for the big 18! Your kids look like a bunch of fun, I'm sure things stay "shaking" around your house and such a cool picture. I think the imperfect ones are sometimes the best.
ReplyDeleteThis is a great card and very different! I will have to borrow this idea! Thanks so much for sharing with us at 613 Avenue Create!

ReplyDeleteAdore the card, Jan! As shaker cards cards are not my forte, seeing a nicely made one is a pleasure (and how clever of you to use the 8 for your shaker base). And then I have to say LOVE, LOVE, LOVE the photo of the kids! That phone of yours is so smart. What a nice looking family you have!!! Happy Birthday, Joel!!!
