Happy Birthday Dare!

Today is my sweet Friend Dare's 29th Birthday!!!! Ok, so she is not 29, but she looks 23 : )

I used the Blackbird Scripts Kit and my two favorite flower punches to make her this little birthday card.

I made another card for a wedding party last weekend with this month's kit also. Our friends Richard and Kati are getting married in April. The bird house was perfect for a card about "setting up house".
Have a wonderful day!!!

From the Sketchbook

I love to do sketches in my free time, when I have lots of ideas floating through my head, but I don't have time to sit down and scrap.

You know, like when I'm sitting and feeding the baby... or listening in church. I know, bad!! It really does help me concentrate, though! :)

Here is a sketch from my sketchbook:

and here is how I interpreted it with the new kit!



I would LOVE to see how you interpret this sketch! Rotate it, make it your own- and then link it back here! :)

She's Three Today!!!!

Happy Birthday to my sweet Baby Girl! I CANNOT believe she is 3 today!!!

I got this kit just in time for some birthday layouts. This one is not so birthday, but I just had to print out these two pics of Cam hamming it up for the camera (can I have some cheeze with that ham?).

I used the 6x12 Making Memories patterned paper across the back (I love this paper!!!). Then, I free hand cut a circle from the blue Lily Bee, and then cut it in half to make two semi circles. I placed them on diagonal opposites right under the edge of the MM paper. Then, I used the Jenni Bowlin pennant stickers to make "rays" coming out from the semicircles. I loved the vivid red in the Glitz patterned paper and loved the way it coordinated with the MM patterned paper.
