Happiest Birthday, Grandson!

Another Birthday card of late, this one for my one and only grandson, who is a pure joy to my heart!  I'm not sure how my daughter wrapped so many great attributes into a 7 year old boy, but boy did she!  This card's for him...

I wanted to make this card super fun, and I think I did pretty good!  I chose this stamp set because I've had it for several years, just waiting for the perfect age.  I wanted to use primary colors, so only added a bit off from there.

Supplies:

   Janes Doodles - Troublesome Duo

   C & 9th - Eat Cake & Celebrate

Hope you enjoyed your stay, and I do hope to visit you all soon!

Hugs,

Happy Plaid - Gated Birthday!

Like my last post stated "Big plans, Little success"!  I had all the intentions in the world to get around and visit everyone this past weekend, but no success!  So while I have a couple posts to make, I hope you don't hold it against me that I haven't visited you, but know that I will!

So here's wishing SIL #1 Happy Birthday today!  We wish him a wonderful day, and many more Birthdays - he's been an awesome son-in-law to have around!  Here's his card, a gate-fold which is new to me but not so new in blogland... 

I also added a bit of extra "sumptin' sumptin' to the inside and to the envelope...

Supplies:

   PTI - BB Birthday

   PTI - Stylish Sentiments Birthday

Thanks for swinging by and having a Look-See!  Hugs to all!

Big plans, Little success

Sometimes we have all these goals in our heads, and then reality hits... this card fit nicely into several challenges but my timing was not good.  So alas, it will be posted anyway hoping to bring a smile!  I used a few NBUS items, and for that I'm grateful.  I also managed to use quite items from a variety of makers.  This card is actually a Birthday card but you can't tell from the outside, only the inside reveals it's intentions.  Up front, let me apologize for the "quickie" photo -- it definitely could be better!  Take a peek!

Entering at Time Out #132

Supplies:

Sizzix Bricked ef (NBUS, to the best of my feeble recollection)

Paper Smooches Grand Madison Window (NBUS)

W+9 Woodland Beauties

SSS Leanna Butterfly die

PTI Birthday Stylish Sentiments

Thanks for stopping by, and I hope to visit everyone soon!

Camo'd Birthday with Florals

Howdy everyone!  Is your weather getting better?  I hope so!  I know parts are flooding and we are susceptible to that here too but so far so good!  We actually broke snow records for February (since 1916) and March and we're only halfway through!  I do believe we're through the snow period and heading into Spring now.  Anywho -- let's get onto the card since I know small talk wasn't your goal for stopping by!

I made this card for a neighbor using some NBUS products although the Turnabouts are new to me!  I wanted to use the colors from last week's challenged since I was just enamored by them, so it made it pretty easy to put together.  Also the camoflaged die cut sentiment was a new technique for me to try and I think I had to learn a couple new "tips" along the way.  Here she be...

While you can't really tell by the photo (I actually forgot in my haste and had to ask her to send me a pic), but the color challenge was similar to Teal, Wisteria, Green and Cream.  I stamped on cream cs, and thought I could get a good cream to show darker, but alas I ended up using gold, thus the gold cs backdrop, which peeks through the negatives of the lettering.  Since I missed that Challenge, I will be send it to two different challenges:  SS Monday - Feminine; and  Time Out #131 Hugs, Kisses & Birthday wishes.

Feel Better Soon!

Rushing in for a quick post, and to enter a couple of challenges.  A co-worker fell on the icy ground here, so I wanted to make a card wishing her well.  I'll be entering this card at TO #130 Unique (I'll explain this in a bit) and also over at Simon Says Monday:  Girly.  Here's my entry...

I used the new to me Concord & 9th Wreath Turnabout, using two muted colors.  You see, I think these new Turnabouts are quite "unique".  If you haven't tried any, they're actually pretty fun!  I also enjoyed the muted girly colors, girly ribbon, all for this girly card!  While my stamping is imperfect, I love the artsy feel and its uniqueness too!  Hope you like it!

   

Hope to see you around soon, and thanks for being such big supporters to me!

Hugs,

TK
