Happy 2nd Birthday

A friend of mine asked me to make her niece a 2nd birthday card, it was quite a challenge as she's not a girly girl, favourite colour purple, not into pink and loves animals.  With all that in mind I thought I'd try and make a tag card as I've never made one before.  Using Cricut Craft Room I welded some tags together.  Next challenge was colours and animals, and this is what I came up with....



To be honest I'm not that keen on the Boofles stickers that I used on the front page, they just somehow don't look right, but as I'd already stuck them down, I had to go with the flow.  I also finally found a use for the animal magnets that I had made for the school craft fair but remained unsold, so all the animals (except the giraffe) are attached with magnets and are removable.  In the end I was quite pleased with the results.

On the down side there was no way that this was going to fit in an envelope so I had to make a box for it to fit in, I just hope it's what she wanted, I'll find out tomorrow.

Thanks for looking x
