Happy Birthday Crystal
My son's girlfriend Crystal has a birthday on the nineteenth of this month. I've never made a birthday card for her before, but Facebook informed me she shares the month of June with my Son-in-law's Jason & Bryan for birthdays. She has a thing for owls, so I made this shaped card using the Create a Critter Cricut cartridge on my Cricut Expression. I thought this owl was a really cute image, and easy enough to make into a shaped card by welding two of them together by the ears using the Cricut Craft Room. I cut a third image out of white to use inside for the sentiment. The Happy Birthday sentiment is from the Stampin Up Happiest Birthday Wishes set. I forgot to take a picture of it before I wrote a personal message, thus the funky looking piece of white paper I placed over it!! All the papers are from my stash. I decided to add a little bow to him, and just lucked out in having ribbon on hand from Michael's Arts & Crafts that had most of the same colors in it!! I think it turned out really cute, and I think she'll get a kick out of it Thanks for stopping by!

Happy Birthday Jason!
My son-in-law Jason's birthday is coming up this week and I wanted to make him a birthday card. I try to make all of my family's birthday/special occasion cards. Masculine cards are always a challenge it seems!! So I was looking through my birthday themed digital stamps as well as my physical birthday stamps for inspiration and came across this Pure Innocence "Super Boy" cling stamp. The sentiment is from the same set. So I colored him up with my promarkers....the papers are all from my stash, and I used my Cricut Expression to cut out the star & number 33. The sentiment is punched out with Paper Studio punches. Although it was a childish image...I couldn't help think that Jason is definitely a super duper boy/man! He & my daughter Emily are raising six of our grandchildren. Emily is a SAH mom, and Jason works very hard to support them all! So I decided to make his birthday card a SuperHero card! Hope he likes it....thanks for stopping by!!

Happy Birthday Bryan!!
My son-in-law Bryan's birthday is this coming Tuesday (if I have it right!). I wanted to make him a masculine birthday card, and I like coloring images, but just couldn't find a male image I liked. But with Memorial Day just passed, and the fact that he was in the Navy (or was it Marines?)...he is gonna hate me if he sees this!..and he really truly loves his country & is very patriotic...I thought I would use this candle stamp I got from Stamp Your Art Out and color it in red, white & blue. Love you Bryan!!! I printed the "Happy Birthday Bryan" sentiment on my computer, and framed it with Spellbinders Fancy Tags Two Shapeabilities die cut. I stamped & wrote a special sentiment inside!! Hope he likes it!!

Russell's 5th Birthday
I am a teeny bit surprised that it's been so long since I have posted anything!! I have made many cards since my last posting, just haven't gotten around to sharing any of them!! Sometimes life just gets ahead of you!!! Anyway... my grandson Russell turns 5 years old tomorrow and we had a birthday party for him tonight since their family is leaving on a camping trip in the morning. He is a lovely, bright, over rambunctious 5 year old that gets into a lot of trouble with all his energy!!! Here is a picture of him in his birthday shirt!! I have to say though that tonight....I was really impressed with his patience. He had both sets of grandparents over, plus other various family & friends. He was very excited that it was his birthday, but patiently waited till we all ate dinner, had cake & ice cream, before he could open his presents! He is SO into dinosaurs and this is the birthday card I made for him. Love you so much Russell!! You mean the world to me and your Papaw!

Sweet Chick
There is a challenge over at Delightful Inspiration from the Heart about to end tomorrow night!! You have a whole month to create something with their free image, and of course it takes me the entire month to come up with a creation!!! Anyway...here is what I came up with! I used their image "Flower Pot Chick", colored it with a combination of Spectrum Noir & Promarkers, The image was punched out with Marvy punches, the DT background paper was from DCWV Blossom & Butterflies Stack, the Sweet Chick sentiment is from a My Creative Time stamp set, framed with the Spellbinder's Decorative Label's One die cut. What a wonderful mix of brand name items!! The white ribbon is from Michaels and the yellow buttons are inherited from my late father's dry cleaning stash!! Thanks for stopping by!!
