Card Creations & More by C Challenge #1

Today is challenge #1 over Card Creations & More by C. The challenge is Anything

but a card. I decided to make piggy banks for my kids. The kicker here is

they do NOT get the money. I know sad for them , but yay for me

and the hubby. Everyday we are putting a $1 in each of their

banks. Then that is the money that we will use to buy their Christmas

presents this coming year. I hate the feeling of trying to come up with

the money around Christmas time. This will be better since it will

already be there. Its not all coming out of our bank at once. :)

So I made these from empty drink mix containers I had around the

house. Here they are before the transformation.

OK for my big boy Daniel, he dreams of baseball 24/7. So I used Sports Mania

cartridge to cut the saying Baseball is life. I finally used my I rock to put the 3 orange

rhinestones down plus the blue rhinestones for the dots of my

i's. I used the present border punch from Martha Stewart for my

bottom border. I added orange stickles to the ribbon on the presents.

The baseball was hand made. I used my Stampin up circle punch

and added some stitching.

For Isabella I had to put something princess on

hers. I think I gave birth to a real princess. She wakes up every

morning and goes and grabs her tiara and wears it all day long.

It does not come off till she is getting into bed. hehe this

girl cracks me up. I put used Martha stewart border punches

again for the top and bottom decorations. The tiara is cut from

Twinkle Toes. The little girl is cut from the same

cartridge. I then made a banner sign and stamped a Pink

By Design stamp saying Sweet n Sassy on it.

And the last one is for my baby girl Alexie. She is

such a sweet and mellow baby girl. The two border

punches are also from Martha Stewart. The toy cut is from the

B is for Boy lite cartridge. The sentiment baby is from Papertrey Ink. Enjoy.
