<span style="font-family: "trebuchet ms" , sans-serif;">He was supposed to have a big birthday party today in BC, but due to Covid-19 it has been changed to a Family Zoom Party tonight.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: "trebuchet ms" , sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: "trebuchet ms" , sans-serif;">I wanted to make him a fun birthday card that was a party all on its own...so I made him a shaker card.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: "trebuchet ms" , sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: "trebuchet ms" , sans-serif;">I used Doodlebug Patterned Papers with Bazzill Cardstocks.</span></div>

<span style="font-family: "trebuchet ms" , sans-serif;">I used my Cricut Machine to cut out the "90", party hat, party horn & streamers.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: "trebuchet ms" , sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: "trebuchet ms", sans-serif;">For the inside of the shaker card, I used Queen & Co. Micro Beads and Trinity Confetti Sprinkles & Stars.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: "trebuchet ms" , sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: "trebuchet ms" , sans-serif;">I used Jaded Blossom's Birthday 4 Stamp Set for the "Happy Birthday" & for the inside sentiment I used CTMH's Birthday Hugs & Kisses Stamp Set.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: "trebuchet ms" , sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: "trebuchet ms" , sans-serif;">Before the pandemic shut everything down, we got to see Trevor's grandparents in BC. For Grandpa's Birthday, I put together 90 photos from our trip to BC in an album for them to both enjoy.</span></div>

<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;">This is the birthday card that I made my daughter for her 22nd birthday.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;">Lately, Amy has been using her typewriter and even teaching her brother how to use it and her favourite colour is purple.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;">So, that is how this card came together.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;">I bought the 3D Typewriter card design from <a href="https://shop.loriwhitlock.com/">Lori Whitlock</a> (who just happens to have all her SVGs on sale right now for 50% off).</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;">I used Close To My Heart patterned papers and white daisy cardstock.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;">I used CTMH's Tiny Typewriter Alphabet Stamp Set to spell out "Amy and Love, Mom & Dad", CTMH's Celebrating You for the sentiment and Jaded Blossom's So Many Birthdays for the "Happy Birthday".</span></div>

<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;">We used Doodlebug Patterned Papers with CTMH White Daisy cardstock. </span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;">To embellish the layouts, we used Trinity Small Hearts, Doodlebug Plastic Stars and a Doodlebug House Brad.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;">We used My Creative Time's Star & Speech Bubble Dies and a miscellaneous star burst dies.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;">The layout with the photo of TJ reading with Winnie, TJ did this page. I want each family member to make at least one page in our Covid Album with their hand writing on it.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;">Amy has been teaching TJ how to type on her typewriter, so she offered to help TJ with his speech bubble journal boxes.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;">The layout of TJ scrapbooking is my design. I made it to match TJ's layout for a two page spread in our album.</span></div>

<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: "trebuchet ms" , sans-serif;">For my layouts, I used CTMH's These Are My People's Cut Above Kit and just altered the pages a bit to fit the photos that I wanted to use. I also used CTMH's Black & White Enamel Dots & 3D Foam to pop up some of the photos and embellishments.</span></div>

<span style="font-family: "trebuchet ms" , sans-serif;">This outing couldn't be wrapped up easily in a couple of pages...so I added a few 4 x 6 photo pages to help record the whole story.</span></div>

<span style="font-family: "trebuchet ms" , sans-serif;">Covid 6 x 8 Album - Page 1</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: "trebuchet ms" , sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: "trebuchet ms" , sans-serif;">I am trying to record as much as possible during these different times that we are living in due to Covid-19. I am not good at journaling...so I try to take as many photos as possible of just our every day lives.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: "trebuchet ms" , sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: "trebuchet ms" , sans-serif;">So, I started an album dedicated to Covid-19.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: "trebuchet ms" , sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: "trebuchet ms" , sans-serif;">In March & April, Close To My Heart offered a 6 x 8 Cut Above Kit that I just fell in love with...I am not much of a kit person...but this one I believed I could work with.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: "trebuchet ms" , sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: "trebuchet ms" , sans-serif;">All the pieces on this page were part of the kit except for my journaling areas. I used scrap pieces of CTMH paper from an old Christmas paper line with CTMH's Stitched Brackets Thin Cuts & a miscellaneous Stitched Banner Die.</span></div>
