Pirate Birthday Card for Mom

Hi there!

If you remember from the Mother's Day Blog Hop, I repurposed a Pilot Log Book for my mother and accidentally called it a Pirate Log Book.  Everyone that watched the video got a kick out of it and so did my mom when I told her on the phone, so I thought I would do a pirate themed birthday card for her.  Her birthday is actually the day before mine so this card is a little belated, but better late than never, right?  :)

So, I made a quick video (less than 13 minutes) for you to watch to see how it all came together.  I used a Close To My Heart stamp set (Just A Number - D1514) and some Recollections paper from Michaels.  Give it a watch if you have less than 15 minutes to spare.

Ever since I purchased my video camera, I have gone away from my roots and stopped posting pictures.  I do apologize about this and will actively work on showcasing you what the card looks like as well as the video.  Unfortunately, I didn't get a picture of this card, but I will take a couple pictures of the cards I post soon.  Promise.  Pinky swear.  Cross my heart and stick a needle in my eye, or whatever the saying is.  Just bare with me as I get back to my roots.  In fact I may be doing only photos coming up.  More info on that to come.

Here's the link to the video:  Pirate Birthday Card.  I really like how it turned out.  If I could have three wishes, the first would be for blogger to find my videos on YouTube right away instead of having to post a link instead.  As for the other two wishes, those will come.  Patience is a virtue.  I'm a little punchy tonite as I'm lacking sleep.  I'll be better in the morning.  Promise.

If you are interested in ordering Close To My Heart products, please visit iandreger.ctmh.com/retail to order stamps, acrylix blocks, embellishments, paper, organizational tools, ink pads, markers, etc.  As a reminder - the CTMH markers are being discontinued, so if you are interested in purchasing them, now is your chance.  Let me know if you have any questions - I am happy to help!

As for what's in store for you in the future...  I have a birthday card for my niece who's turning 5 on June 10, an anniversary card for my mom and dad on June 16, and a Father's Day card for my dad.  I should really look through the family calendar, and see who else has something fun coming up.  Big ups to my sister Claire for giving us a family calendar every Christmas.  Without it, I would honestly forget when everyone's birthday/anniversary is.  Anyway, enough of me rambling.  Stay tuned for more!  :)

Craft on,
Ian
