Happy Birthday Babe!

Happy Birthday to my darling husband!  My kids and I are so richly blessed and lucky to have him in our lives!  Here is the easel card that I made for his birthday!

I used the square sketch from this week's Mojo Monday 201 Challenge to make the top part of my easel card.

This is a side view of the card standing up! 

This is what the card looks like when it's closed.  Patterned papers are from October Afternoon's Schoolhouse collection, heart tag is from Making Memories.  

Here is the sketch from Mojo Monday:

My kids wanted to make their own cards this year and they were so proud of their work that they insisted I post them to my blog....so here they are:

Soccer card made by my son who loves to play soccer and it happens to be one of my husband's favorite sport.

Fun card made by my daughter...this truly reflects her fun and happy personality!

Dino card made by my son...he was in a "let's play around with mommy's tools" mood, so he made a second card.
