Birthday Wishes

Birthdays, birthdays...every one has one! I try to keep birthday cards on hand, but generally at the last minute I'm scrambling to throw something together. For this card I cut the scroll-y flourish from Cricut cartridge, Home Accents. Gotta love those flourishes! The flowers were Cricut cut and the centers are just circles cut from a paper punch. I tried along the left side to do some rubberstamping. Stamping is still a challenge for me, but try, try again is my motto!

Thanks for stopping by and taking a look. Enjoy your Saturday!

Strawberry Shortcake Birthday

While there isn't anything very spectacular about the Birthday card I've made. The little girl who is going to receive it, is very spectacular! Our only granddaughter, Nora Katelyn, will celebrate her 3rd birthday tomorrow.
She is such an absolute delight...I'm like every grandparent-I think mine couldn't be anymore special!

I wanted to share this card, along with a scrapbook page I made in 2000. The scrapbook was made as a gift for my mom on Mother's Day. One of the pictures scrapbooked was of my mom and her sister in homemade dresses with big strawberries on the pockets. I included a copy of the scrapbook page with Nora Katelyn's card, with some family history written along with it.

Thank you for stopping by and I
love your comments!

All Occasion Card

I could easily see this as a Get Well, Hello, Birthday or Mother's Day card. It is going to be a Get Well card for my use. The side scroll is an .svg file I found at Wandas Crafts . The paper from K&Company, I've had for years, you know the kind you keep for just the right occasion! Well, the occasion finally arose to use it. I stamped the side scroll lightly with MS Stem Green ink. The daisy is an .svg file and the very center of it is syrofoam ball shavings colored with brown ink and water. To get stryofoam shavings just rub two strofoam balls together. Excellent for snow. That's all I have for you today. Thanks for spending some time with me.

Birthday/Everyday Card

It is such a beautiful day here in Southern WV! I love days like this. I've been busy making cards. One, I'm going to show you today is for a dear friend of mine. We have been friends for about 40 yrs and love getting together. Because, she lives in Ohio, we only see each other ever couple of years. We are always vowing to do better.

My friend, Deb's birthday is soon, and I wanted to make her a card...so the photo on the left is what I came up with. I added a pack of seeds to her card and it is ready for mailing.

Taking the same basic design I made another everyday card. It isn't nearly as retro! But, a card that could be used for most occasions.

Thanks for stopping by. I would love to hear any comments you might have about anything on my blog. I'm hoping for some followers soon...it is quite lonely here!
