My Girl

Here's a quick little card I whipped up for Teagan's birthday this week.  I used a kit from My Mind's Eye.  And I'm entering it in the contest at Seize the Birthday this week.

Birthday Bows and Flags

Here's a cute card I made to add to my birthday stash.I decided to try out some cool paper I picked up while in California and made a few birthday cards.  

The stamps are from a Hampton Art/ Echo Park die cut set from Sizzix.  

I pulled together some ribbon and buttons from my stash, and some small acccessories from the dollar bin at Michael's.

Bright Birthday

Here's another fancy birthday card I put together with paper from Authentique, a doily from Michael's and a sentiment from DCWV.

Birthday Wishes

Here's a little card I whipped up using paper from Authentique.

I cut all those banners by cutting strips with my paper cutter,

and then cutting a little v shape out with  my scissors.

I also cut the sentiment by hand from a piece of patterned paper.

I ran it through the sewing machine to finish it off.

thanks again for stopping by...

As usual, Lesley has a great sketch for us.

All the paper on this card is from Die Cuts With a View.

I also decided to add this card to the challenge over at Seize the Birthday.

Seizing the Birthday

I decided to try out some cool paper I picked up while in California and made a few birthday cards.  

The stamps are from a Hampton Art/ Echo Park die cut set from Sizzix.  

I pulled together some ribbon and buttons from my stash, and some small acccessories from the dollar bin at Michael's.

I'm submitting this to the challenge over at Sieze the Birthday.

Pals Paper Colour Suite

Here's a card I whipped together for a friend of mine.

I decided to enter the sketch challenge over at Pals Paper Arts.

And I really wanted to try out the Colour Suite Challenge over at

Scrapbook and Cards Today Mag.

I pulled out my old stash of vellum as it fit the colours in this challenge.

I hear that Vellum is a returning trend, so I thought I'd try it out.

The Stamp, ink, embossing folder, and paper are all from SU.

The die cut is from Spellbinders, and that flower sticker

is from Basic Grey.

Nacho Average Paper Players

Well this was a fun card to make.  I was at Michael's yesterday and found these little tags in the dollar bin.  When I saw the colours over at Nacho Average Challenge, and the sketch with the tag over at the Paper Players, I knew I had a winner.

The sentiment and embossing folder are from SU.  The little tags are from Heidi Swapp, the Button is from Basic Grey, the little bird is from Making Memories, and the doily, bobby pin rose, and canteloupe tag are from the dollar bin at Mike's.

Mojo Monday #329

Today is the 50th birthday of a good friend.

His wife is throwing a surprise party for him tonight.

I wanted to try out this week's Mojo Monday sketch.

I used some old Build-a-Brads to come up with the number "50".

 

I made this little birthday medallion with my scorpal and a scallop edge punch.

Freshly Made Sketches #119 and Seize the Birthday

I felt like some challenges this weekend. 

Today I managed to whip up this little card for the sketch over

at Freshly Made Sketches.

and for the anything goes birthday challenge over at 

Seize the Birthday. 

I love that little tilted panel, but it sure challenged me.

So I modified the sketch to fit a portrait card instead of a landscape one.

(does that make sense?)

Here's a closeup of my little embellishment cluster.

I punched out the butterflies and stacked them.

The ice cream cone brad is a piece of paper from 

American Crafts put in a Stampin' Up! Build-a-Brad.

The other brad and the button are from Basic Grey.

The sentiment die cut is made by a local gal here in Vancouver

called In the Making Enterprises.

Mojo Monday #327

Here's a little card that I put together for this week's Mojo Monday sketch.

That cute little Birthday sentiment is made right here in Vancouver by Dee's Distinctively: A Cut Above.  

I used the same cute paper and stickers from Bo Bunny's Key Lime line.  Then I used various retired buttons and brad's from Stampin' Up! and Basic Grey to finish up the card.

I really like the combination of rusty red with dark teal.  I'm ususally not an Earth tones kind of gal, but this paper definitely drew me in.

Thanks again for stopping by today!

Bring on the Cake

So I found this adorable paper from Doodlebug Designs.

And although most of it was for Halloween, I thought it would make a great birthday card.

So I punched out some banners with the framelits from Stampin' Up!

Stamped an image and coloured it in,

embossed the background with a chevron pattern...

And got a cute card.

It's almost too cute to give away...

almost.

Let's Party Birthday

 

 

This cute banner is from Basic Grey, and I just HAD to make a couple of cards with it. 

I cut up the sentiments from some little cards by Memory Keepers.

I also added some stickles to add some bling!

 

Another Quick Birthday Card

Make A Wish Birthday

 

Here's a cute little birthday card I whipped together a few months ago.

The stitching is made using a paper piercer and using a white Signo gel pen.

 

I'm entering this over at Seize the Birthday.  Hop on over and check them out.

Time to Party

Here's a little card I whipped up using the paper from the SN@P simple stories and the Pocket Pages from Me and My Big Ideas.
