Happy Birthday, Son-In-Law #1

A busy Easter weekend?  Yup!  This Birthday was event #2 for the weekend.  Since SIL's Birthday was on Easter, we spent the afternoon at my daughter/SIL's house with his family and ours.  It was a grand mixture of Easter dinner and Birthday blessings.  Great food, great company, and a couple celebrations to boot!  Here's his card...

This card's design came from the fact that my SIL, his dad and sister are all bicyclists, something my bum never got accustomed to!  This stamp is actually a NBUS, one that I loved from the moment I saw it.  And although my SIL doesn't ride around on a bicycle with a basket, I just had to put a pup in there because we are all dog lovers!  I took the cue from a color challenge running at the time that I was dreaming up this card, but of course I missed that boat!  And while the sentiment doesn't look Birthday-ish, it worked into and fit nicely with a sentiment from another set, so it IS a Birthday card.  Hey, and Spring is here, so it fits there too!

Wedding Wishes

Best wishes to a co-worker and her fiance (now husband).  This was done in colors of the wedding, and I can already say that I wish I had done this a little different...  Although I like this card, it needed a pop and it seems to me that those "mind flashes" come a little too late too often for me.  Anyway, here she goes...

This wedding just happened to be a GREAT start to a wonderful Easter weekend!  Best wishes to the couple, again!  Heartfelt sentiments inside by PTI Love & Marriage.

Happy Birthday, another be-lated...

I made this card with this gorgeous color selection/challenge that I found - LOVE these colors!  And although the challenge is closed, I definitely wanted to use these beauties!  I made this ~

So another quickie post, but such is life these days!  I'm so glad you could spare a few minutes of your precious time coming to visit!  Hope to see you all around soon!

Happy Healing, be-lated challenge

I used the Freshly Made Sketches #278 from Jen M to make this card.  I had a leftover negative die cut that I really wanted to use but coloring behind the negative didn't prove to work too well for me, so I was on the search for another way to use it when I saw a sketch...  Unfortunately the challenge ended before I had time to post BUT with all that in mind, I created this

 And a close-up...

Here's the inspiration...

This has been mailed, so I wanted to get it posted.  Thanks for stopping by and perusing!

I needed to make a card and since I haven't been in my craft room much, I needed a little inspiration.  So I took to checking out some of my favorite blogs and while I found quite a few beauties, I knew immediately that I had to CASE this card from Lisa Addesa of I'm In Haven fame.  Check it out...

While I love her white-on-white and bold stand-out sentiment, I wanted to add just a touch of color and gray fit the bill.  I also wanted to tone down my sentiment. My card is one of those that we all hate to make and it really took me quite awhile to post, well over a month...  Take a gander ~

I haven't been around much, so I'm glad you spared a few moments to visit me here.  Happy weekend to all!

Hugs,
