Created by Hand -- "spring" challenge

My friend Deb gave me these AWESOME flowers for my birthday. She found them at Michael's. I made these cards to send to the other bridesmaids since we had a blast doing the bridal shower and bachelorette party for Meghan last weekend. I thought it had a nice spring-y feel :)

Stamp Something -- "shapes" challenge

Does it seem like everyone is having babies? Sure feels like it around here! Here are two cards I made that fit the "shapes" challenge. They are fairly simple cards that I added the little circle stickers to once I finished the card. I got 12 puffy stickers in assorted colors for $2 at Walmart today. Woohoo!


Spoon Full of Sugar -- "how old?" challenge

This is a card I made for my friend Marci's little boy. He turns 2 this month!

Paper: Close To My Heart

Embellishments: The turtles and the number were made with the Cricut. The "happy birthday" background is an old Cuddlebug embossing die-cut.

Just Christmas and Birthday sketch

I recently bought the geisha stamps from Hero Arts and totally fell in love. The rest of the stamps on both of these cards are fun ones from Close To My Heart. Neither actually says "happy birthday" but they will inside! :)

Paper: The cardstock is Close To My Heart. I made the background and texture paper myself.
Stamps: Close To My Heart and Hero Arts (geishas)
Ink: Close To My Heart- bubblegum, clover meadow, star-spangled blue and sunny yellow
Embellishments: the geishas are pop-dotted onto the cards.
