Happy Sunday!

Hi everyone!

I hope you all had a great weekend!!

I know I did :)

Today is my birthday and I did everything I love....relax, hang out with the family and craft.

A perfect Sunday!

(except the Buffalo Bills played like CRAP and lost BADLY!!)

Anyways my husband asked for some wedding cards for the people at work.

I had one on hand and made another today

This is a very simple card.

I used the Wedding cartridge for my cuts

PTI cardstock in Plum Pudding

Cuttlebug swiss dots folder to emboss

My Creative Time~ Many Greetings Stamp set for the sentiment

and

pearls to embellish alittle.

I hope the happy couple likes it :)

So that is all I have for you tonight....

have a happy Sunday and I will see you back here tomorrow!

Season's Greeting~ Amber Ink Holiday Cheer

Good Morning Everyone!

I just realized as I began to type up this blog post that today is 11/11/11.

How crazy is that :)

I have another Amber Ink card to share with you today.

I am beginning to make all my Christmas cards, I have a handful done but many more to do!

I have presents on the brain and this is what came out on paper.

I wanted my card to look like a wrapped gift.

How did I do?

All my plain card stock is from PTI and that pattern paper is Amber Ink ~ Green Holiday Cheer

I heat embossed the "seasons greeting" sentiment using crystal embossing power and like the way it turned out :)

The crinkle ribbon is from 3 Girl Jam in Holly Berry ~ BTW it is a perfect match to the Pure Poppy PTI card stock!!

I used a white tag from my stash...stamped the to and from using a SU stamp and attached it to the card using Twinery Twine in Peapod.

A very simple card...easily cased and great to make in bulk!

Well I hope you like this card!

Thanks for stopping by

and

have a GREAT day!!

Happy Birthday to a Special Person!

Hi Everyone!

I hope you are all enjoying your weekend!

In continuing with the birthday cards I make every month for the PTO to give to the Teacher at my kiddo's school I have another one to share.

This one is actually made for one of my boy's teachers. I think she is such a fabulous teacher, my son and all the kids in her class love her and they are learning so much!!

What do you think?

For this card I used this beautiful pattern paper that I had won a few months ago and forgot I had!

Unfortunately I do not know who makes it :(

The digi is from Bugaboo Stamps~ Bugaboo Brat Sitting Balloon

I colored her with my copics and paper pieced her hair bow, balloon and shirt with the matching pattern paper.

I also added some stickles to the balloon and her heart on her pants for some bling!

The crinkle ribbon is from 3 Girl Jam in Goblin Green and Witch's Brew.

It was a perfect match to this paper~ Thanks Julie :)

The sentiment is from Inkadinkado~ All Occasions Stamp set

The flowers were some I received from a swap and I again forgot I had them!

Lastly I used my fiskars border punch to punch the center decorative trim.

I am entering this into the following challenges:

Cards Cupid~ Bling
