A Cocktail Birthday

I made this lovely cocktail inspired card for my friend Kathy's birthday.

I didn't have the Real Red marker, so I used the paper piecing technique to do the cherries and strawberries. It definitely adds a special touch. And the new scallop oval punch is fabulous!!!! The colors are definitely very summer-y too...love it!

Thanks for stopping by. <3

Sponge Bob Birthday

I made this birthday card for my friend Kathy's daughter's birthday. She was turning 7 and had a Sponge Bob themed party. I think it turned out quite well! My newest thing is to decorate the insides of my cards...this is what I did on the inside:

I've been MIA for a while, but I'll try to get back into the swing of posting soon.
Enjoy!

A Card for Grandma

My boyfriend's grandmother's birthday is this weekend, so of course I was charged with the task of making the PERFECT card.

I love my Upsy Daisey set (its one I turn to quite often for all occasions). And it goes so well with the Urban Garden DSP...LOVE IT. (and everytime I use a piece I tell myself 'I have got to order more of this!' --yes, I love it that much).


I love the color combo of the green and blues, but I did think it needed a little pink, so I added the brads for a bit of a POP.

I also stamped the back, since too often people don't realize I've made their card...
I got this stamp out of my lovely Demo, Lisa's, goodie basket. You can check out her blog at: www.stampingwithlisa.com
(I'm hoping to be joining her downline very soon)

Thanks for stopping by today.
