Happy Birthday Elaine
I made this card for my daughter Elaine's birthday. She has been married for just over a year, has a beautiful daughter Addison who will turn 1 year old at the end of this month, and will have been in her new house with her husband Bryan for a little over a year!!! She did it all at one time, and is overwhelmed by it all about now!!! The image is from Flat Friends called Crimbo Shopping and was generously given away as a freebie. I colored her with Promarkers, and she was cut out & framed with three different Spellbinder dies. The flowers are from Orchard Crafts, and pearls are from my stash. Thanks for stopping by to take a peek!!

Happy Birthday
WOW! Haven't posted anything for a long time! Summertime activities suck up a lot of free time, and I've been kind of lost as far as inspiration goes..have been in a real creative funk. I made this birthday card for my granddaughter Shawnee's birthday. It's nothing fantastic, but hope it made her smile...I know my present to her did!! I colored this Sassy Cheryl image with Promarkers. I think Sassy Cheryl images are the bomb!! I guess I'm showing my age with that comment, but they are really truly CUTE! The papers & buttons are from my stash, and the die cut I used to frame her is the Fluer de Lis Rectangles from Spellbinders. Thanks for stopping by to take a look!!

Happy Father's Day!!
Father's Day has come upon me fast this year, and although both my husbands and I father's have passed away, I thought it would be appropriate to make him a Father's Day card to let him know how much I appreciate the wonderful job he did raising our children!! I colored this Art Impressions "Lazy Boy" set with Promarkers. I framed him in gray with Spellbinders Marvelous Squares Nestabilities die, and then layered him with green & brown cardstock from my stash. The "To My Hero" sentiment comes from My Creative Times Teeny Tag Greetings die set. I created my own greeting/sentiment inside the card, but for some reason, could not get a picture of it. It says...."Who would like to live his life in the EASY CHAIR, but chooses to face his chores head on"!! He spent the last two weeks power washing our deck, then applying a few coats of stain in the heat...a most thankless job!!! Hope he likes his card!! Thanks for stopping by!

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!
