Happy Birthday Card

Hello Everyone!!!

I have been making cards like crazy!  Do you ever decide to do that?  I looked in my stash of cards and I was low on birthday cards.

Here is a card I recently made.  It is a little bit "mod"...but cute too!

All of the papers are from Recollections cardstock which can be purchased at Michaels.  I used two cricut cartridges for the clothes (Paisley) and the background mat in yellow and white was cut using Elegant Edges.  The sentiment, Happy Birthday, is from CARDZTV STAMPS.

This is one of my absolutely favorite stamp sets and I use it often.  It is applicable to almost every holiday!  It even has a stamp that says "Happy Everything!"   And, "So Happy for You!" could be used for graduation, a baby card, a job promotion, wedding, ....talk about versatile!!!

I will have another super cute birthday card to show you on Valentine's Day, so stay tuned!

Happy Wednesday

Happy Wednesday everyone!  It is almost time for the weekend and there are so many things going on!  


Theresa (The Scrapbooking Queen) is having a sneak peek blog hop beginning on Friday, so be sure to join us!  She has come out with some super awesome new stamp sets!


Isn't this card just adorable?  I made it for my brother who lives in California.  He has been sick lately and I thought this would cheer him up.  The awesome digi is from Pink Cat Studios. The twine is from THE ROYAL SHOPPE HERE at The Scrapbooking Queen's website.

Have a great day!  Can't wait to see you at the hop!

We have certainly had spring-like weather where I live so I decided to make a Spring card.  The vase and flowers are from Everyday Pop Up Cricut cartridge and cut at 6 1/4 inches for this tall card which measures 4 by 9 inches.  Adorable papers are from Michael's that I purchased for 19 cents per 12 x 12 sheet.  It is double-sided and I love the colors.  I cut the label for the sentiment from Elegant Edges at 1 1/4 inches and then trimmed it to fit.


The sentiment, "Friends are Flowers in the Garden of Life" is from Cardztv Stamps Think Spring Stamp set.  This set is awesome!  There are so many different things you can do with this set.
