this challenge is all about a birthday easel card. This is my first time ever to do one of these types of cards. I decided to make a lap top card. this challenge is #26 please come over for the fun and join in. www.celebratetheoccasion.blogspot.com heres how I did it.
cut a 4x12 strip of cardstock
score at 4 in 6 in and 8 in
add adhesive to inner fold of the 2 in section
attach to back of what will be your upright panel
I then cut 3x3 cardstock in blk for computer and 3x3 for panel fo computer and screen
cut vellum to look like a real computer screen and used my computer to print out happy birthday I cut strips to put around computer front then colored in the letters on computer to say doug ( the happy birthday person).

  7. Your card is awesome! I think the laptop idea is terrific. Thanks for the comment on my card. A while ago the letter "A" wasn't working on my cell phone and it was hilarious sending texts to my family and friends. -Yvette (Fellow DT)
