Makeover Monday Birthday Card featuring Teri Anderson

I know it’s not Monday, but yesterday was such a rushed day that I never had time to post. I figured you all probably wouldn’t mind too much if it was posted a day late

Today’s card is one I made over from Teri Anderson’s blog.  You’ve heard me mention Teri before.  She’s one of the Paper Crafts magazine Go-To-Gals, and I just love her style.  I find her layouts in particular very unique – she has a way of putting together cards that I just wouldn’t think of.  You can see her original card HERE.  As you can see, although I kept to the general layout, I couldn’t help changing it up a little :-)

The paper I used was left over scraps from the Happy B-Day Simply Scrappin’ Kit, I used my thicker window sheets to die cut my brackets.   I also created a faux metal silver ring which I placed around the number 8.  To create the ring I first punched a partial circle out of silver CS using the 1 1/4″ circle punch and then I punched around it with the 1 3/8″ circle punch.  I also added in the arrow to draw attention to the age I wanted to celebrate.

Just a quick reminder in case you missed the one I posted last week.  With the onset of summer and a much more unpredictable schedule, our posting may be a bit unpredictable too. Although we always try our best to stick to our regular blogging schedule, you may see missed days, or missed themes.

Have a great day!
