A Bicycle Birthday

Today my daughter, Tei'a, turned four.  How did the time go by so fast? {sigh} I got her a bike for her birthday since she's way too big for her tricycle now. I know, I know I should have gotten it a lot sooner. But I figured it could wait for her birthday since I didn't think to give it to her last Christmas. ;oP 
I made her this adorable birthday card with the bike image from Everyday Button Bits. The color combo came from the Doodlebug patterned paper: Simply Chartreuse, Hibiscus Burst, Lemon Tart. Definitely not my usual color choices! But I needed girly and sweet and this is it. ;o)
Thanks for stopping by and having a look! I've gotta go now and watch my baby grow up. {sigh}

Supplies used - All PTI unless otherwise noted
Stamps: Everyday Button Bits, Birthday Basics
Ink: Dark Chocolate, Hibiscus Burst
Paper: CS - Simply Chartreuse, Hibiscus Burst, Stampers Select; PP - Doodlebug
Other Stuff: Hibiscus Burst Vintage Buttons, Dark Chocolate Bakers Twine, Lemon Tart Satin Ribbon, Copics T1, Ticket Corner Punch

  3. Happy birthday Tei'a! Four is such a great age - they're more independent and yet still a "baby". Such a sweet, sweet age.

    You've changed your blog! And your picture! I don't think I would have recognized you had I not known where I was. Great picture! Also, you might want to check the color for "post comment" because it appears to be white on a white background and not until I moved my mouse over it did I see it. Just thought you'd like to know. But I definitely love the blog make-over! :)

    Oh, and one last thing. ;) The card is very cute and girl-y - so perfect for a 4 year old receiving a bike.

  14. Such a sweet card, Nadine. And 4 is the perfect age to get a bike. I'm sure your daughter was beyond excited! It's probably been a month since I visited you last (sorry...), so I quickly scrolled through what I've been missing. Loved the card with the red rose and the blue star -- the colors, the composition, everything. The masculine card you did for the PTI Blog Hop was great, too. Hope you're having an enjoyable summer!
