Tony's Tiny Joke Book

 Hello Ai fans!

I had a request for a birthday card for a 9 year old boy.

One of the things I was told he likes was "9 year old boy humor."

I very much like lame dad jokes and instantly thought of making him his own little
journal full of jokes he can tell people.

I'll start by showing you the box I made to give it in and the cover and first two pages.
The box was created using 5805 – Mini Journal Box Dies and 5940 – Journal Cover Paper Pack – Plaid.
The sentiment is from 5866 – Mini Birthday Sentiment Set.

The journal and frame dies are from 5718 – Mini Journal Template.
I only did a "half journal" because I'm limited in time. This means I only cut the journal template twice so it looks like a regular book and not a fold out journal. I still plan to hopefully fit 10 jokes into it.

Here are the first two pages, the inside of the cover and the front of page one.
I used the corner die to hold the flaps closed. The little octopus is from retired 5397-Submarine Cubbies Set and the sweet duck is from 5180 – Barnyard Animal Cubbies.

The journal and pages are made from 6058 – Baby Boy Paper Pack.

Stay tuned at a later date for more jokes from Tony's Tiny Joke Book!

LOL!!!

Happy 7th Birthday Tony!

Almost every year my friend requests a birthday card

for her nephew. This year he is really into space, Godzilla and soccer.

I don't have anything space or Godzilla themed but I thought this retired

dino from Art Impressions would be close enough.

4950 – Dino Mouthful Set

 I used the 5562 – Journal Letter Die Set to add his name for a personal touch.

It's your birthday,

Have a ball, Tony!

Happy 5th Birthday Tony!

Hello and Happy Monday!

Today I'm sharing a card a friend ordered for her nephew's 5th birthday.

He really loves dinosaurs and I do too so I was really excited to make this.



I've made other cards for Tony but this time he's 5 so that's really special!

My dinosaur is from Carmen Medlin designs from the Curiosities Set 3 and is called Me and My Lil Buddy Set.  I used watercolor brushes to color them and made highlights with a white gel pen.
