FMS125 Better Place for a Thank You

I usually do not make a monochromatic card but I thought it would work well with this DSP.  I started by going through my scraps of DSP (of which I have many) and then I just need to decided what would work at the bottom corner.  I did want something on a circle and since I am still making and mailing out thank you cards from my birthday last week, I thought this sentiment would be in order. 

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

PPA193 Thank You!

When I saw this sketch challenge by Nicole Watts, I knew what element I would use on the panel in a three count.  I have been using the Petite Petals set and punch a lot lately.  I already had this card base and the emboss paper on attached sitting on my desk for a few weeks.  So it was easy to add the panel and flowers to it.  I hope you have a lovely Thursday and thanks for stopping by!

Celebrating You in Purple!

This is a very special birthday card from a very special friend.  Jen and I have been stamping together for about 10 years or more and have become great friends.  I can't image not having her in my life!  She is such a blessing and is amazing at crafting and designing.  She also has the patience to cut and work the intricate stuff I do not have the patience for.  I am not such a fussy cutter.  My favorite color is purple and she did a beautiful job with adding purple with the right amounts of green and other shades to make a lovely color combo. I also love distressing and this card has it on the outside and the inside.  I feel so blessed to have someone take the time to make me something so wonderful and make me feel special!  

I hope you have a blessed Wednesday and thank you for stopping by!

Husband Caught in Stamp Room

My husband decided the night before my birthday to go in my stamp room and make me a card. He used my Big Shot to die cut the Happy Birthday shape and the used it to emboss the purple paper.  I was very impressed. He used purple knowing it is my favorite color. 

Here is a photo of us on my birthday!

Have a wonderful Tuesday and thanks for stopping by!

PP184 Thank You in Gold

The sketch was easy...I thought of my washi tape. I had the cork flowers/embellishments on my desk from the sale-a-bration Sweet Sorbet accessory pack and wanted to use them.  So I decided some gold washi tape would look great with the flower (which is self adhesive )! Gold twine and gold ink finish it off. 

Hope your Monday is fabulous and thanks for stopping by!

Birthday Collage

Not only am I blessed with many friends but several whom are so talented and I have enjoyed stamping with for a long time. This card is from a good friend, Michaelle, that I have the pleasure of stamping with several times a month and I love her creativity!  I love all the layers and the stamping in layers that make this card so rich in texture! 

I am wishing you a lovely Sunday and thanks for stopping by!

Birthday in Purple

I received this beautiful birthday card from a friend this week.  She knows I love purple and her favorites are purple and green so I think she did a wonderful job expressing us both.  Love the ribbon that has been dyed Garden Green..it reminded me of grass and it is so clever! 

I hope you have a blessed Saturday and thanks for stopping by!
