You're too kind

This was the thank you card I sent to Mr. and Mrs. C after our visit to Florida!

I used my new stamp set from Close to my Heart, some designer paper from JBS Mercantile, some baker's twine (love this stuff because you get a whole lot of it in cool colors), Whimsical Words Stamp Set, and cherry cobbler and chocolate chip classic stampin pads from Stampin' Up.

Happy Thursday!

Birthday queen

My niece turned 21 recently, so this was the card I made for her. This card is actually a little larger than I usually make, which I like. There's more surface to work with. I think it's about 5x7 or so. I wanted it to be sophisticated because 21 is a big year! I used mostly Stampin' Up! goodies including: chocolate chip, very vanilla, and cherry cobbler cardstocks, artistic etchings stamp set, cherry cobbler and chocolate chip classic stampin' pads, and deck the halls designer series paper.

The "happy birthday" sentiment is from Close to My Heart.  The lace and sheet music are thrifted items.

Here's another view of the card...

I really like the crown over the sentiment!

I LOVE this card!

If I do say so myself, I LOVE this card! It turned out so well. I am just super pleased! I got the idea for the layout from a fellow SU Demonstrator, Carrie Gaskin. She has such a super website! These are my colors...earth tones!!!

I made the card for a co-worker who recently had surgery!

Stampin' Up! - crushed curry cardstock and classic stampin pad, cherry cobbler classic stampin pad, watercolor pencils, blender pen, antique brad, label punch, decorative label punch, stazon black ink, elements of style stamp set

Happy Birthday, Mrs. C...and her card!

Today is Dynamo's mom's birthday! Happy Birthday, Mom!! WE LOVE YOU!!! The picture above was taken when we visited Florida back in February.

When I got married I gained another set of wonderful parents! Mrs. C has welcomed me into the family as though I was her very own daughter! Thank you so much for loving me! Dynamo has three brothers! I cannot imagine what a supermom Mrs. C must have been (and still is) to put up with those boys over the many years. She loves each of the boys (and me) so very much. She's never too busy to talk to us. She will give you anything she has and more. She'd do anything in the world for us or any of the boys.

We hope your day is fabulous!!
