80th Birthday Card

80thbirthdaycard

Hello! Happy Monday! I hope you all had a great weekend.  The boys had their vacation week this past week and so we ended our week attending two birthday parties yesterday.  My best friend from college’s mother was celebrating her 80th birthday.   I made this card for her since she did not want any gifts.We all had fun and then after a few hours we went to celebrate my brother-in-laws birthday where my mother-in-law had prepared a delicious meal and made a home-made cake.

I used two different Flourishes’ stamps to create this card. I look forward to using the numbers (Numbers in Blossom) again for more birthday cards.

Have a blessed day!

‘Something Sweet’ Challenge at Mo’s Digital Pencil

Hello everyone,

It has been a long time since I have submitted any entries for challenges. But this one was to “sweet” to pass on.  (I know, comedy isn’t my thing!)

This image is so cute and really fun to color.

I have been a customer of Mo Mannings’ digital stamps for some time now and I love the beautiful diversity in her images.  I own many and when this challenge presented itself I was thrilled because I just needed to pull up this image I already owned. (Yes, I have been known to buy images to enter challenges. Go ahead, shake your head.)

Had fun putting the detail on this image.

I made a birthday card with this image and used pop dots to add dimension to the case. I also added rhinestones to her crown and sparkle to her cake and candles.

Here is the inside of the card,

I am going to go visit the others now. Thanks for taking a look.

What’s on Your Workdesk Wednesday – #221

 

Ingredients for birthday card I just made for my son, Apollo.

Hello Everyone!

First let me say thank you so much for all the love you lovely ladies left on my blog last week. It was the lift I need while dealing with this foot pain.  This week’s update: I am thinking of seeing a chiropractor for pain in my back and left side that might possibly be contributing to a miss alignment hence the foot problem. My doctor is leaning towards Planter Faciatis. My inserts (not custom orthodics) don’t seem to be working so we are going try another before committing to the hefty price for custom orthodics.  I made it to many desks last week but promise to get to anyone I missed this week.

So I have a hording tendency that doesn’t allow for me to part with my newest pretty stuff.  So today I actually broke the seal on two new paper packs I have (corrugate neutrals ad The Glitzy Pastels by DCWV).

I used my Silhouette to cut out the cute balloons.

Have I said lately how much I love my Silhouette?  Well, I do and the best part is that I haven’t even scratched the surface.  I made a easel card base. I really love cutting and scoring and prepping the base.  More will definitely be made.

You can click here to see my post that has the completed card.

If you haven’t learned about this amazing creative journey you can take every Wednesday, then head on over to Julia’s Stamping Ground and you will find desks from all around the world for What’s on Your Workdesk Wednesday.

Have a blessed day!

Happy Birthday to my sweet boy, Apollo!

Toys R Us trip.

Toys R Us trip.

It’s Apollo’s 6th birthday today! Where did the time go? I remember it like it was yesterday, no I really do.  In a blink from diapers to first grade. Wow.  He is one amazing boy that has brought joy to our lives and today we are going to celebrate.  He said he can’t wait to open his presents.  I hope he can get some sleep.

At Toys R Us store, if you tell them it’s your child’s birthday they give them a crown and balloon and they announce over the PA system that it’s your childs’ birthday and if patrons see him walking with his balloon, to say Happy Birthday.  This is the second year we did this and he was just as thrilled as the first time.

I made this easel card for his birthday and used my Silhouette to cut the balloons and used some corrugated paper from DCWV that I recently purchased.

I am loving easel cards right now.

I love making easel cards and thought he would like this.

The balloons have a pretty shimmer to them.

We will take him out to dinner tonight just the four of us and then next week he will have a party with his friends.

Well I am off to play with the boys.

Have a blessed day!
