Griffith Observatory in Los Angeles, Ca
April 21, 2012
Today, on our Anniversary, what better way to spend our day then to head over to the Happiest Place on Earth. Oh yeah! We will be heading to Disneyland in Anahiem, CA today. Super excited as it has been a very long time since we have gone. Especially since we haven't renewed our passes. But, hoping I get renew mine today. Either way, we are excited to go visit Mickey & his friends. We are like kids at heart.
Ok, enough of me rambling on.. I would like to share with you a card that I will be giving my husband today.As you know, I love to craft which is my hobby. But for my husband, his hobby is video games. He grew up playing video games. So I thought, why won't I create a card of the first video game he played which was Super Mario Brothers. This card will illustrate Mario who will now be called Peter because that is my hubby's name. It will also have Peach Princess watching him from the hills. If you visited me on Friday for the Getting Cricky "Show your Style" blog hop, then you saw this shadow box frame I made for my husband, I will then include this card.
"Anniversary Card: Video Game Edition"
For the hills, I used the George & Basic Shapes Cartridge and cut Cylinder Shapes and a rectangle for the brick. Then, I embossed the hills, the brick, and heart with my cuttlebug folders: D'vine Swirls, Tiny Bubbles, & Swiss Dots. I used Simply Charmed to cut out the mushrooms as they are one of the many characters that is part of the game. For my sentiment, it comes from the K. Andrews Of Mice & Lil Men Stamp Set. If you would like to purchase this set: click here.
For the characters, I used again my Simply Charmed Cartridge and cut the scarecrow for Mario a.k.a Peter & the Bride for Princess Peach. Then, I cut the colors to how they are suppose to look like.
Inside of Card: "Happy 6th Yr Anniversary"

So what do you think! Does it look a little bit from the game. I had so much fun creating it and look forward to finally giving it to my husband. Well, thanks for stopping by..
