Shortly before Christmas, DS2 surprised his girlfriend by proposing to her. Fortunately, she said yes :) They live in Australia, and as most of our communications are done by text and FaceTime, it seemed appropriate that I used a mobile phone diecut to convey our congratulations.
I had watched Jennifer McGuire's video on a window shaker card, which gave me the idea for turning the phone screen into a shaker. I sealed a double heart charm into the shaker pocket, which I'd made with my trusty DIY tool, then set it into the card front, adding the phone diecut to the card front. Here are a couple more views:
The 'celebrate' diecut (Winnie & Walter - The Big The Bold and Party Cutaways) is glued at either side onto the white card.
Pop on over to the Seize The Birthday blog to see how the rest of the Design Team have interpreted the sketch, and join in with us. If you don't want to use the sketch, you can play along with any birthday creation.
I'm adding this card to Winnie & Walter's Rerun No 8 (technically for Scenery: The Party Hangover but I've used Shay's project as my inspiration.
This is SOOOOOOOOOOOO COOL! Love how you think girl!
