Happy Birthday Flower

 I made this for my niece for her birthday...these are the colors she requested, she works in a florist shop so I thought she might enjoy this one.

Simon Says Stamp: Anything Goes 

Beautiful Birthday Butterfly

 

 

For my niece...as I was naming this post, it brought back a memory of when my niece was two years old and for her birthday she wanted a 'bootiful, bootiful, blue dress'.  She's going to be 31 years old next week and had I thought of it earlier, I would have put some blue in this card for her and reminded her of the 'bootiful, bootiful, blue dress'.

This week at Simon Says Stamp the Monday Challenge is to use Embossing Folders, I really like this 3-D folder from Tim Holtz and Sizzix.

Desires of your heart

The Monday Challenge over at Simon Says Stamp this week is 'Birds of a Feather'...to use either a bird or a feather in your project.  I have a niece with a birthday coming up, so I decided to use this bird image from Tim Holtz clear stamp set Urban Grunge. The sentiment is from Papertrey Ink Signature Greetings Vol. 3. I stamped Vintage Text by Wendy Vecchi on the base of the card, then layered a die cut piece using Tim Holtz Thinlits and some leaves from the Festive Greens die set.

Thanks for looking!

Hey Chic-a-Dee, SSD at Play Date Cafe

Cute chicks...the inside says 'Happy Birthday from one cute chick to another'...this one is for the color challenge at Play Date Cafe-PDCC149 to use Orchid, Seafoam, and Tangerine:

And for the sketch challenge from Skipping Stones Design-SSD 145 by Kim Kesti:

Seems like I've been so busy at work lately that when I get home I don't even have the time or the energy to play in my craft room, or I'll make a really quick card to give to someone and don't even take the time to photograph it...really miss it...and next week we get to visit the Oregon Coast again...I love it there!  When I get back I need to make time to play more! 

Birthday Wish

SPCC #33 - Tempting turquoise, Summer Sun, Real Red, Pink Passion
The Bold Brights are a little out of my comfort zone but I needed to make a birthday card for my 19 year old niece so I thought I'd give it a try...the rub on for Birthday looked a lot more like Pink Passion before I put it next to the other colors!
