Sneak Peak

Our new Idea Book will go live on February.  In the meantime, I thought I would give you a sneak peak of one of the new kits called Buzz & Bumble.  The occasion is a birthday of one of my very wonderful friends, Karen!  I thought she would enjoy something made with one of the new papers!  I used this week's Mojo Monday sketch.  Here is my rendition of the sketch:

May is the Month of Birthdays

It has been a long time since I've done a Mojo Monday so when I had to make my dear Son In Law (SIL) a birthday card I decided to start with this week's Mojo Monday sketch.  Here is this week's sketch:

And, because the card is for my dear SIL, I decided to use the Victory papers.  I just love that kit and I still can't help creating cards with it!

I tried to capture some of the dimension of this card.  It is one that I would call a bulky card and would never attempt to send through the mail unless it was in a padded envelope.

Papers: Victory WOTG papers; Chocolate, Honey, and Colonial White cardstock
Stamps: D1410 4 My Friend; Noteworthy Background (retired) Stamp Sets
Ink: Chocolate, Outdoor Denim Exclusive Ink
Embellishments: z1706 Durables Studs (Square & Round); z1701 Neutral Assortment Baker's Twine

Hope your days are full of friends and family!

Happy Birthday Son

My son Ian had a birthday today! It seems like only a short while ago he was in high school and here he is a father of three beautiful children and turned 31 today! It was fun because we always get the family together for events like this even if only to have cake and icecream.

So, since he was gracious enough to have a birthday so I could make a card, I thought I'd show you it. (Masculine cards are always such a challenge anyway)! The card layout is from the WISHES book called "Delightful Dots" for a 5-1/2" x 4-1/4" (Standard size card).



Papers: Victory WOTG papers; Colonial White, Kraft, Olive Card stocks

Stamps:  C1497 Pure Adventure; D1410 4 My Friend
Ink:   Cocoa, New England Ivy Exclusive Inks

Embellishments:  z1706 Durables Studs (Round); z1701 Neutral Assortment Baker's Twine

I hope your next event will involve lots of friends and family.  Wish you many blessings this day!
