But I do have quite a few still left to share with you from my 2017 February Paper Pumpkin Many Happy Birthdays kit. When I first got the kit, I loved the colors but wasn’t sure how I would use the slider cards. I need birthday and thank you cards, but didn’t need party invitations […]
Birthday
Designer Tee – not what you would expect!
One of my favorite stamp sets in this year’s Sale-A-Bration line up is the Designer Tee. When I saw the name I thought it would be something to do with t-shirts, not my thing. However, I was surprised and very pleased that I got this stamp set! It does coordinate with our new Custom Tee […]
Let’s celebrate with Balloon Adventures and #FMS274
WOW…this was a great crafting weekend for me! I spent the first part of my days off finishing up my Valentine’s Day treat containers for my staff, faculty and co-workers..I’ll post them tomorrow – 32 and counting! But let’s get back to today’s card. I really liked the FMS274 for last week, so much so I […]
Happy 65th Birthday to a dear friend
Tomorrow is a dear friend’s 65th birthday…so glad she got there before me, makes me the “baby” of the group again for several months! Our group got together for our annual fall dinner several weekends ago, but I didn’t have her card ready. Then I remembered last night that I needed to get her card in the mail today…oops! […]
Celebrate Today with PPA322
Today’s card was also inspired by the PPA322 template challenge for this week. My first card for the challenge was made without my usual background paper or dry embossing (see it here). But you know me, I like bright, happy colors and something in the background and this is my 2nd card for the challenge. The card base […]
Here’s to Cheer a 90th birthday!
My father will be turning 90 in February (WOW!) and I thought this week’s PPA322 template challenge would be a great template to create his card. I used masculine colors from the retired Sweater Weather DSP and the Here’s to Cheer stamp with the “there is much to celebrate” saying since it seemed so appropriate for his celebration. […]
Marquee Messages for your birthday
I was up bright and early last Friday morning which is very unusual for me on my days off! But I spent Thursday dealing with possible medical issues with my dad and I was ready for Connie Stewart’s SGGW weekend template challenge as a diversion of creativity. This past weekend’s template was a little more challenging […]
Something old turned on it’s side becomes new!
Several years ago there was a template that made a shirt or tuxedo for masculine cards. But lately there have been a lot of cards using this template with the folds turned to the side. I loved the original idea and made several “guy” cards for the men in my family. And now here’s my take on […]
The Big 6 – 5 birthday for my brother-in-law!
Saturday was my dad’s 89th birthday (see his special card here) and my husband’s brother’s 65th birthday. Glad it’s him and not me (ha-ha, but not far behind!). I made this card for one of last years SGGW weekend challenges and I’ve been saving it for a special birthday. I figured a 65th birthday was special enough […]
