TTIC 22 – Bella’s Birthday

Posted on by

Our challenge this week was chosen by the lovely and exceptionally talented Rebecca.

We are to focus on birthday’s this week. For full details visit the Twilight Tuesday blog over yonder.

Well it just so happens that we have a pretty big birthday coming up soon in our house. Little Miss Evey is going to be 5 in April so I thought I would use this opportunity to practice for Evey’s birthday invitation. This isn’t the final design because I’m not quite happy with it yet but I do love the digital elements I found as they are PERFECT for Evey who is all girl. (I also think it’s very Alice… you know if Alice were designing for a 5 year old.)

Overall I like it. I’m not used to working with such huge image sizes so some of the shadow depths are to deep for me but I do like the over all feel. I just wish it was a little tighter design wise.

Now go check out the other fab design team members projects…

birthday and election wishes

It takes a long time to grow young. – Pablo Picasso

Today is Chris’s birthday. I’m not sure what he’s more excited about…his birthday or the election. It might be a tie. Right now he’s very graciously getting the kids ready for daycare while I’m standing in line to vote at way to early, still dark AM.

The kids and I have big plans for Chris today. Evey and I quietly snuck off earlier in the week to purchase a brand new shiny electric guitar and amp. Chris never asks for anything and this year he mentioned this…twice. Once to actually ask, the second time to make sure I didn’t forget and mess it up.  Geez, I can take a hint. Thanks to Chris’s best friend Brad and the ever entertaining Mr. Chris Cactus for taking the time to email me loads of information about guitar brands and styles and amps. It was invaluable.

Tonight we are headed off to my in-laws house (who ROCKS by the way) to watch the election coverage, make fun of the CNN analysts, eat homeade baked potato soup and listen to Chris pick out his first few bars on the guitar. (No, that’s not the cake up there but man I wish I was cool enough to make that…I’d be the best nerdiest wife ever. If you don’t know what that is up there, I’m not telling you because it’s just going to make me look like a huge geek just by association.)

And everyone…

Please vote today. (As if you could forget.)
