I Brake for Magnolia-ficent birthdays!

 Hello and happy Saturday!

Today I'm sharing a birthday card that I made for my friend's Sister-in-Law.

I used a stamp from I Brake for Stamps.

The image is called MAGNOLIA FLOWER.

Look how pretty that blossom is!

I added some Wink of Stella to give it a little shimmer.

I know Diane will love this.

Boldt Castle Wedding

Hello and happy Wednesday!

Today I'm sharing a special request wedding card.  My friend attended a wedding a couple of weeks ago at Boldt Castle and she wanted a castle themed wedding card for the couple.

Since I didn't have a castle stamp I printed a photo of  a part of Boldt Castle and used that on the card.

The flourishes, hearts, banner and the die I used to cut the castle out are both from Spellbinders

and the For You sentiment is from Stampin' Up.

Here's the inside of the card.  I loved the idea of using a skeleton key on it because I pictured those old, thick wooden castle doors needing a good old fashioned silver, metal skeleton key.

The heart border is from Martha Stewart and the heart dies are from Spellbinders.

This one's called SWALLOWTAIL.

I Brake For Mopeds!

Hello and happy Saturday!

Today I have a really fun birthday card to share with you.  My card features one of the Humorous Seniors from I Brake For Stamps.  She's called Moped Millie.

I haven't done a monochromatic card in a while and just got a new blue 6 x 6 pad I was excited to use.  I think blue suits her well.

On the inside I used Over The Hill and a

birthday verse from Every Day Phrases.

Here's a close up of her.  I dig her animal print pants!

Simple Sympathy

Hello everyone.

While reading the paper yesterday my husband came across an obituary for a woman that used to summer on the lake he grew up on.  The families had kept in touch through the years and we knew that she had been ill for quite sometime.  She passed away the day after Christmas at the age of 93 and my husband attended her calling hours yesterday.  This is the Sympathy card that I made for him to take.

I kept it very simple since my husband gave me very little notice that he needed a card but I like how it turned out.  It's touch to tell except for the tiny bit of shadow but the sleeve is popped up.

The image is a $1 stamp that I picked up somewhere and it's colored with Copic markers. The dies are both Spellbinders.
