PP203 A Crabby Birthday

I love the beach!  Anyone who knows me knows I love the beach!  I am leaving this week for a mission trip at a beach and then return to go to the beach for vacation!  No, I will not be sick of the sand, water and sun!

When I saw this theme, I thought of shells and blue and such but wanted to do something not in the normal range. I looked at my stamp set and thought of this layout as soon as I saw the little crab.  Love this Sea Street set!

I hope you have a wonderful Monday and thanks for stopping by!

Happy Umpteenth!

So love this color combo!

I wanted to use some of the new DSP-back to Black!  I asked my daughter to help me pick another color and she immediately went to Coastal Cabana!  We both liked the lattice look of this print...looks like summer! I had to get this stamp set for this sentiment!  I have several birthdays coming up of  friends (several males) celebrating a 50th birthday.  I did stamp the sentiment again in Black StaZon and cut out the word umpteenth and popped it on top.

Hope you have a blessed Sunday! Thanks for stopping by!

PPA210 Just For You

I was having issues with my Basic Gray ink pad today.  I was not getting a great image when stamped.  I redid this it several times and I either got this or smearing.  I gave up after a while.  It is suppose to look handmade!  Never can they be perfect...at least for me!

I can say I got inky making this card!  There is where the fun is!

Have a lovely Thursday and thanks for stopping by!

Happy Birthday Cupcake!

I bought this set because my daughter loves cupcakes and peace signs.  It is very cute and screams to be used with bright colors.  The Sweet Taffy DSP fits that bill.  Using a sketch from last week's FMS. I love that my daughter helped me design this card for my card class next week!

Happy Wednesday!

Nantucket Style Birthday

July has finally arrived!

I have been having loads of fun designing with the new decorative masks.  I was inspired by a card from fellow Pal, Michelle Gleeson.  She used Night of Navy card stock to make some stripes on her card.  It made me think to use the masks to get these great stripes here.  Very easy to use and clean up.  

Hope you enjoy your Tuesday and thanks for stopping by!
