So, my baby sister *finally* turned 29 last week. Since she is such a purple fanatic, I made her this card. I used the Concord Grape DP for layer 3. I love the new patterns on the designer paper block... and best of all it is a level 1 hostess gift!!! I used the Elegant Eggplant to frame the Concord Grape DP and Lovely Lilac Layer. I dusted off the Heartfelt Thanks flower and used the markers and used it on one layer of the flower. I used the Basic Brown for the outline layer.

SU Materials Used:

Stamps: Heartfelt Thanks

Paper: Lovely Lilac, Whisper White, Elegant Eggplant, Concord Grape DP

Ink: Lovely Lilac, Always Artichoke, Basic Brown

Two of my friends we lucky enough to celebrate birthdays this week. So I made them the same pretty little card. I used my markers to color in the flowers from the Close as a Memory set. I stamped the happy birthday in Rose Red and the flower from the 'Think Happy Thoughts' in Pink Pirouette. Finally, I added a rhinestone from my new package of Basic Rhinestone Jewel accents- can I just say I am in love with them. :-)

SU Materials Used:

Stamps: Close as a Memory, Think Happy Thoughts;

Paper: Pink Pirouette, Very Vanilla, Rose Red, Early Espresso, Crumb Cake

Ink: Pink Pirouette, Garden Green, Early Espresso, Rose Red;

I made this card for my friends birthday. I really like the way it turned out. I used I used my markers to ink the flower image and used the Big Shot on panels 1 & 3. This is a pretty straight forward card, so if you have any questions just ask.

I think this is the least amount of stamping you can have on a card. ;)

I made this card for my Dads 70th Birthday Party. A gazillion years ago he was in the Marines, you know the saying, Once a Marine-Always a Marine. Well, that fits him.

He really liked the card, so I guess it was worth it. :-)

A big thanks to my Friend Jodi, for sending me the MC paper forever ago! I finally made my Dad something with it! :-)

Button Bear Birthdays

The Button Bear Birthday Party!

I made the 2 cards on the left for the two girls that car pool with Seth. Their birthdays are about a month a part, but there was no way I could make them different cards. ;) The card on the right I made for my Niece's 1st birthday.

This is the car pool version close up. Since the teddy and friends border was just a tad bit short, I cut out the portion under button bear and used it for the card below. I am frugal like that. ;)

This is Tory's card. I just couldn't resist putting

the sparkly 1st in the middle. :-)

Thanks for stopping by!
