A Precious Birthday......

Greetings all.

Today I get to spend some time with my dearest friend, Laurie,  and I wanted to give her birthday card to her early. We have shared a Love for Precious Moments figurines since we were in High School (1983). For her wedding I made her a cross stitched picture of a Precious Moments wedding figure. I am blessed by her friendship so I wanted to present her with this card:

The image is from the Silhouette store and the Flamingo Dots are just darling. The inside says Happy Birthday that I used the Banner Wishes stamp set.

Happy early birthday Laurie Lepore. I am so happy to share the day with you. Love you bunches.

Until next time.....

Happy Birthday David

Happy day all!

Holy moley guacamole, I cannot believe my baby is now 16! He was the last but the biggest and brings me a lot of joy (he is a comedienne). Here is the birthday card I made for him:

Happy Birthday David. Pa and I wish you all the best. We know you are destined for great things! Love you!

Get Inky! Stamps Guest Designer Project

Happy Day all!

Today I get to be guest designer over at Get Inky! Stamps for the Fall Colors Challenge. Well Fall colors makes me think of Halloween and I just had to make this special Halloween Birthday card. There is a special young lady turning 1 and we thought she would be a Halloween baby. Well, she made her appearance on my daughter's birthday on the 22nd and surprised us all! Here is the card I made:

Did you know that you can stamp directly on patterned paper to dress up your stamped images? I learned this from my dear friend Cardmonkey and opted to do this for my card. I used the 2013 Spooktacular Halloween set for the ghosts and the one eyed monster. I decided to cut the fence with black patterned paper too. 

See the sentiment? Well it is actually a combination of two different stamp sets. I used the 2013 Spooktacular Halloween set for the Boo-tiful and the rest of the sentiment is from the Beary Special Cupcake set. I enjoyed making this card and am planning on using this format for a scrapbook page for our grandchildren's Halloween pics. Thanks for coming by and sharing this time with me. Until next time.....

Happy Birthday to My Little Monster...

Okay, well he is not quite little and I normally call him my little monkey (mi monito actually) but he love this Cricut cartridge. I used Mini Monsters and wanted to make something fun. Here is the end result:

I used my Martha Stewart Drippy Goo punch. Behind that is my new Creative Memories Frame Chain Border Maker Cartridge. I cannot tell you how much I LOVE LOVE LOVE this border cutting system. 


Happy Birthday Alecito. We are so very proud of the man you have become. Until next time....
