Celebrate Your Special Day

Hi Friends!!

Today I have a birthday card to share with you

that I made for my boss and friend :)

I used lots of  My Favorite Things items.

I used the Stiched Cover Up Companion die

to make the front panel of my shaker card.

Paper is from Doodlebug 

I colored up this cutie from the Sweet Birthday Wishes

stamps and dies using my Spectrum Noir markers.

The sentiment is from LJD Birthday Greetings.

I embossed it using Zing Embossing powder.

The Sequins in my shaker are from

Craftin Desert Divas,

Thanks for stopping by!!

1930's Jeanne

Hello, and Happy Tuesday!!

I hope you all had a wonderful Labor Day Weekend!!

Saturday was my Mother in Law's 84th Birthday

and all she wanted was to have her 3 boys together :)

My husband, who is the oldest brother, planned a dinner

at a local restaurant and invited the brothers, 

the grandchildren and  all the great grandchildren!!  

Out of her 12 grandchildren, only 2 were missing.  

She was so happy to have her family all together!!

Here is a picture of my MIL with her 3 boys!!

(my hubby is the one in the red shirt :) )

So she was born in 1931, so I decided to make her a card

using the Julie Nutting 1930's Jeanne Doll Stamp.

I just love the way my card turned out, and my

MIL loved it too!!

Here is a close up of her face,

I used the Peachy Keen Laughy Taffy Faces

I colored her face, hair and skin with my Spectrum Noir Markers

and paper pieced her dress with paper from a My Mind's Eye

6x6 paper pad.  The sentiment if from Craftin Desert Divas 

Happy Celebrations Stamp Set

I added some fun embellishments to finish off the card.

Thanks for stopping by.

I will be entering this in the following challenges:

Ladybug Card

Oh My, I cannot believe that it has been more 

than 2 months since I posted anything on my blog!!

Every since my term was up on my last Design Team, 

I have just been taking a break, but that does not mean I 

have not been crafting.  So over the next few, days/weeks, 

I will be sharing some of the projects that   I have made over the 

last  few months that I have not shared.

This sweet card was made for a birthday 

party we went to the was all Ladybug Themed!

I used the oh so cute Lady Bug Card file from My Scrap Chick.

The pattern paper is from Doodlebug, as are the little dots 

in the corner.  For the sentiment, I used Craftin Desert Divas 

All Aboard Stamps I embossed my ladybug using the Swiss Dots 

folder  and my Cuttlebug I used the Peachy Keen 

Erkle and Merkle Stamps for her eyes

On the inside I used a sentiment from Craftin Desert Divas

Bring on the Cake statmp set.

Happy Birthday

Hello and Happy Tuesday!

Today is my day to post over at
Craftin Desert Divas.
I am sharing a another card I made using one of my favorite
stamp sets from the May Release.  I used "Happy Celebrations" 

I love all the different sentiments on this set. 

Here is my project:

My son asked me for a quick birthday card

at the last minute and this is what I came up with!

The cut is from the Silhouette Store Design ID #51731,

I thought it would be perfect wiht the quote.

His friend is an Oscar Wilde fan and he wanted me to incorporate

this quote.  I used my Silhouette Sketch Pens to write it out.

Of course I knew "Happy Celebrations"  would have
the perfect sentiment!!
The paper is from Doodlebug
and I also used a Spellbinders Curved Rectangles Die.

Thanks for stopping by!!
