Yesterday was my friend Kaila's birthday. I bought her some lovely earrings that I found at the market, but then remembered that she doesn't really wear earrings [I should be a better friend] So now I have new earrings and Kaila has a bunch of stuff I made her. I always feel weird making people things for their birthday, I am not sure why. I guess I feel like I am ripping them off by not buying them something, but then I have to remember that it's the thought that counts. A lot more thought went into Kaila's new gift then her old one [the earrings].
Here is the card I made her ! I thought it was quite creative myself :
I made the little buttons and the flower on the front with paint and then printed them out and cut them out ! Then I used the poladroid maker [aka my favorite thing ever] to make a cute little poladroid of us. I was very much inspired by this post on a Beautiful Mess.
I also made her a bracelet and some hair pins and put them in this cute little envelope :
I just took a piece of paper and drew little squiggles on the front with some sharpies [aka my other favorite thing ever] and then i folded it up with the goods inside and sewed up the sides [I had no tape so I had to sew up the sides, but I thought it turned out pretty awesome] Then I super glued [everyone should use super glue at least once a week.. I love to glue stuff] some buttons to the front ! I though this was an awesome way to improvise when you can't afford wrapping paper.
Ps. This is Kaila and I.
I wish I could be 19 with her !
