HB2U, Vicky!

He is one of our best friend and the father of the Sweet little Ladybug. Today is his Birthday and I decided to make him a special birthday greeting card. As he loves to sail it was easy for me to pick up a design. This is a classical navy design using the typical colors - red, white and dark blue.

Happy Birthday, dear friend! We wish you all the best!

 

Love,

Happy Birthday, my love!

Again is 28th of May and it's my husband's Birthday! Again the focal point is the car! I have been inspired by Daria Myagkikh and her acetate cards. The car and the balloons are colored by Copics.

Here is the card and he really enjoyed it!

 

Love,

Happy Birthday, Ani!

I met her here, in Bogota. She is from my native town, but married to Colombian. She is Ani and became my closest friend here.

Happy Birthday, Ani! We both wish you love and happiness! 

 

Love,

 

Greeting card for a huge beer fan!

I have been asked by my husband's college to make a birthday card for her father. He is German and as almost every German, he is a huge beer fan. I decided to go for a magic card and found really good tutorials in youtube.com
This is the card and the recipient really liked it.

 

Love,

 

Greeting card for a name day!

6th of May is the day of St George, which is possibly the most celebrated name day in my country. A common ritual is to prepare and eat a whole lamb, which is related to the fact that St George is the patron saint of the shepherds.
We have Bulgarian friend here in Bogota named George. I prepared a pure masculine card for him.

Love,

Farewell party!

One of the disadvantages to be expat is that at some point it's time to say goodbye. Of course, not as dramatic as it was sung by Andrea Bocelli in his song. Now it's time for Josef's farewell party. Like every party, there was a lot of food, drinks, good mood and... crafty gifts.
I decided to go for a card, a magic memories box and a nice package of the present. Here they are:

 

 

As I do not have any stamps of owls, monsters, mignons or similar, I decided to use stickers for the card. Also I combined two ideas found on internet for the magic box.

Love,
