Happy Birthday

I needed a masculine birthday card again.  I am NOT good at these.  It kills me not to use pink!  Is it as hard for you as it is for me?  I have to say that I instantly reached for my new Blueprints die-namics dies to create this card.  I can't wait to see the next sets in the series, I assume that there will be more since this one is labeled #1.

I have been so lucky to have not been sick since last winter.  My luck has run out...I feel a head cold coming on.  I have had some sinus drainage the last couple days and the sneezing started later this afternoon.  I sure hope that it doesn't stick around long, I don't want to be sick for Easter.

Have a Beautiful Day

It is finally spring!  Although it feels nothing like it here in Iowa.  I made this pretty Tulip card for the Free For All Friday at Flourishes.  There is also a great challenge going on called Bring on Spring that I will be entering this into as well on the Flourishes blog.

Have you seen the cute little groundhog photos on FB saying how Phil lied about spring?  He was sooo wrong this year!  Last year during the month of March we had 60 degree weather, this year it is still in the 30's with possible snow this weekend.  Heck, it is supposed to snow on Friday at my dad's house in Alabama!  I did spot some pretty purple and yellow Crocus flowers popping out of the ground on my walk late this afternoon.  I guess one good plus is that it wasn't too cold to walk as long as I was facing the sun.

I used the sketch at Sweet Sunday for my design.  Love the wide square in the middle, so many possibilities for this one.


Here are the links to the rest of the design team, they have some beautiful creations to share with you!

Really ?

How is your week going so far?   I am on spring break and my time off seems to be flying by.  I feel like I never get the thing done that I want to get done.  I did have some time yesterday in my craft room to make this cutie patootie.  Do you ever make a card and just love it?  I often do, but after I was finished with this one I felt like she looked kinda washed out or the card needed something else.  I must have at least 50 of the 6x6 paper packs and none of them were jumping out saying "use me"!  It took longer to choose the paper than it did for me to make the entire card.  Really?!  So this sentiment was very fitting.  :)



I used the newest MFTWSC sketch for my design.  The new blueprint die-namics set has a cute little stitched circle die that fit perfectly inside the mini doily circles for my sentiment.

Make a Wish

Hello again!  I am back to share a birthday card that I made for my brother's birthday today.  I used the newest MFTWSC sketch and the cute Theresa Collins 6x6 paper pack with the cutest masculine papers.  Mustaches are all over the place right now and my little brother has some facial hair of his own.  I hope he likes what I made for him.


I stamped the sentiment in Versa Mark ink then sprinkled some white embossing powder on top.  I like the faux ribbon look from the Blueprint die instead of ribbon for this masculine card.  That is also a button die and not a real button.  I have learned from experience that real buttons add a lot of depth to your cards and can make shipping costly.  I added the photo corners to the sentiment because it looked pretty darn plain without them.  ;)
