Ideas for 1st birthday card for my DD??

[MarianneB]

Hi all, it is my DD Isabelle's 1st birthday in a couple of weeks & of course I need to make her a card - I have a few ideas but want it to be really special.
Does anyone have any great ideas for a card?
Anything a bit different? (I have made loads of cards for other people so don't want it too similar to something I have done already - if you know what I mean!)
Any of you have anything in your galleries? (I have looked through the baby & children thread but not many 1st birthday ones)
Many thanks
Marianne

Hi

Does she have a special toy/teddy/comforter? My DD loves her little rabbit toy so I took a photo of that, printed it out and then used 3-D foam to fix to the card. Used the pc to print my greeting/sentiment. Unfortunately I don't have a photo of it (although I do have the card). If you'd like to see it let me know and I'll try and photo tomorrow and post in my gallery.

For her second bday (just a few weeks ago), I did a Noddy card for her - think it's in my gallery.

I also have a few bday cards for kids on my blog (if you scroll down to labels on the rhs and click on children's cards).

HTH - very special time - although she won't really realise!

Thanks Hope that's a good idea - she has a rubber ducky which she loves so I could use that.
Loved your cards on your blog BTW great inspiration - especially loved the Grandma card with all the primas covering the tag - do you mind if I "cardlift" that idea?

Hi

Nope lift away! That's what I think it's all about really - giving each other ideas/inspiration! Thx for checking out my blog too!

I think a rubber duckie card would be fab! And she will recognise it on the card which is the nice thing - my DD recognised her rabbit straight away!

Would love to see what you come up with!

I have finished Isabelle's birthday card - was inspired by Hope's teddy cards (using idea from PI) so did one of those instead!
Think I will use the duckie idea for a LO instead!
Hope this link works - its in my gallery if not!

Hi

Sorry just catching up with msgs as been away. Love your card - it's come out very well - have left a comment on your gallery. I'm pleased to have helped in some way.

Not sure when Isabelle's bday is but I hope she enjoys it!

I would probably do a bookatrix . With her favorite nursery rhymn in it with illustrations . It will also give you extra space to put your thoughts about her 1st year, and possibly a family photo Making it a special keepsake for her
