Happy Birthday Sara


This card is for my daughter Sara's 23rd birthday. Ever since she was a little girl she loved to dress up. I can remember going shopping when she was ten or eleven and she would stare at the high heels and the jewelry in the stores, and she would say "I can't wait until I am old enough to wear all of this." Well, I am happy to say that she dresses up every day for work in heels and fabulous jewelry!
When I saw this Rubber Romance image I knew right away that this was going to be Sara's birthday card. Thanks for looking and Happy Birthday Sara!

Two Turtle Doves


This is card is for day two of Paper Craft Planet's Twelve Days Of Christmas Challenge. The challenge today was to make a card with doves or turtles or any amphibian.

Three Ornaments


I am still playing with the Basic Grey Wassail Ornament stamp set from i{heart}papers! I could go on and on with this set there are so many possibilities! I used three out of the eleven ornaments for this card. Each Ornament is embossed with gold embossing powder and then colored in with copics and a gold paint pen. I applied glitter over the gold and it is so sparkly in real life! I also used the new Nestabilities Small Labels that Kate is offering at i{heart}papers.

Ornament


I am having so much fun with this new Basic Grey Stamp Set from i {heart}papers! There are eleven different ornaments in this set and one is prettier than the next. The paper is s.e.i. Windsor Stack, also from i {heart}papers. This paper is so great to work with because it is 8x8 inches. That makes it so easy to do a square card like this one! I chose to make this card more elegant, but I hope to have some samples soon of some whimsical and simpler designs from this set. i{heart}papers is offering a 10% discount on all orders until November 22nd.
