Happy Tuesday

Morning ladies.  I'm a day late posting my card.  I was going to try to post a card a day over the March Break.  I left it too late last night.  DH beat me to the computer after the kids where put to bed.  He had a gaming night.  So I have two cards for today. 
Both have matching envelopes.  What a time I've had making envelopes.  When I did the easter one I discovered that there was an error in the measurements on the instructions I was following.  The flaps are too short too seal.  The birthday card is the only one I don't have to alter. 
This card covers two challenges:
365 Cards-Day 14-Super Sketchy Sunday
Crafty Card Makers-Challenge 16-A Feminine Celebration

Here is the sketch.

Happy Birthday.  This card may come in handy next month.  Both of my kids have a birthday. 
This one is for two challenges as well.
Cute Card Thursday-Challenge 103-Celebration
Cuttlebug Challenges-Be Inspired #74-Envelopes
You were to make a matching envelope to go with your card.  The inside of my envelope also has the same paper as the card. 

My son has a friend over today.  The boys are enjoying the nice weather outside today.  We've had great weather lately.

Happy crafting ;o)

Card Set

Evening everyone.  Today was my first day of my holidays.  March Break has officially started. 
Wednesday I was at school to see Sam in the semi finals of Battle of the Books.  First three classes did a musical presention.  Sams class did a song on the xylophones and drums.  It was quit good.  In her battle though they lost 6-4.  They gave it their best try.  They are more experienced for next year.  Grant is looking forward to being in it next year. 
I made a card like this a couple weeks ago and liked it so much I decided to make a gift set.  I made the box with a peek hole to see the cards.  Four card with matching envelopes.  I had a problem with the envelopes.  I didn't have my measurements right and the flap was too short to overlap, and you wouldn't be able to seal it.  Noticed when I cut the first one out, forgot for the second, then changed the measurement on one  sketch.  But when I was following the sketch on how to cut it out of the 12x12 sheet I'd forgotten to change that measurement.  So now I have three envelopes wrong, and decided I only have one left so no use replacements and cut out the fourth.  Then I just added a small strip so the flap had something to seal to.  Not bad for a first attempt. 

Happy crafting ;o)
