Happy Birthday to my Sis!

I made this card to send to my sister for her birthday!  I was inspired by a card I saw over on Pinterest, and I changed up just a few details.  I didn't add a whole lot of Dimensionals to it, which I usually like to!  But that's because it's going in the mail - and I was trying to keep it flatter.

I used the Summer Silhouettes set - one of my must-haves when the catalog came out, and then it kind of got set aside!  - And here it is now, almost Fall!!  To me though it's a great all-year round kind of set anyway!

Jessie's Big Day!

Today is my daughter's 21st birthday! Where the time goes?? I won't see her until tomorrow but this is the card I made for her. It goes with the colors of the other things I've put together for her little celebration we're having tomorrow.

I had originally made this little pinwheel to use for a different thing, maybe a table decoration. And since I didn't end up using it for that, I decided to put it on the card. Kind of bulky for a card, but it's cute and fun. - And definitely not going in the mail!

And I like how this saying makes the card front look like it's really saying "21" Birthday Wishes - You know, Kind of?


Anyway, hopefully she'll be too busy today to check out this post and she'll be surprised to see it tomorrow when I see her! And, if not - 'Surprise, Jessie!'

I Am Challenged!

Yesterday I thought I'd try to make a card based on a sketch challenge I saw on Pals Paper Arts. So I came up with this card. But now my biggest challenge is to figure out how to link all the right things in all the right places to link back to their page! I'm so one of those people that needs someone to show me how to do it! Anyway, I may be back to edit when I can figure it out.

In the meantime, I used some of the new Springtime Vintage fabric for the bow. And I used the new Bring on the Cake birthday set. And, for some texture, I used the Lattice folder on the Rose piece in the background, Some Crumb Cake Seam Binding, scrunched of course, and some Rhinestone bling!
