Dr Digi: Warning Old Git

Hello Crafty Friends!  Today is my Dr Digi post.  I created a birthday card for my dad.  His bday was yesterday and he is already back from his yearly golf trip.  Every year around his birthday, him and a group of buddies go down South to play golf for a week.  My brother has been going the last several years, but he says he mainly babysit the old man.  lol.

I used Hole In One Hal for my dad's card and the Grumpy Sentiments Sheet.  I couldn't find any golf paper, so I settled on grass and some stripes.  My dad is a die hard Cubs fan and has a Cub golfing bag.

I decided to do the 3D look, but didn't add as many layers as you can.  Tried to keep it simple.  I only colored the outer edges on the underneath image.  Some crafters color the underneath layer completely grey.  It's really up to you on what you like.  Some times the underneath layer can make a good practice image.

Here's the base image with the cut out layers.

A little side angle to see the 3D.

Here's the inside.

Love to Craft! Challenge Blog #8 - Monkey Bday

Hello crafty friends!  It's a new month already and that means a new challenge at Love to Craft! Challenge Blog.  You have a whole month to be crafty and share with everyone.  It can be anything crafty :o)

Here's a birthday card that I made for my special family.  (I have all boys, she has all girls...her girls are my "daughters" and vice versa.)  This card is for my "grandson" and they call him Monkeybutt, so nothing could be better than a monkey for his first birthday card.  I used a lot of die-cuts for this project.

When I first laid out his name, somehow it fit better in that small space.  As I started gluing it down, yup, I ran out of room.  It works though.
