{RS98} 5!

Good Morning!

It's FRIDAY!  I'm getting all these cards caught up, and in the midst of getting parts of life back into routine!

This card I made for my middle son's birthday.  I LOVE this sketch from Retro Sketches.  It'll be a go to for me now!

I started by pulling out some DP that has been stashed away, Appleton by Scenic Route.  I'm trying to get old paper cleared out before I purchase new stuff.....which will work until I see something I HAVE to have! (wink!)

The "happy" die is a new one from Simon Says Stamp, which I cut out twice with different colours.

The birthday stamp is from Everyday Circles by Neat & Tangled.

A peek at the inside:

That's all for today!  Have a great day!

{DS137} 50!

Good evening!

I've successfully posted two days in a row.....I'm sure this trend won't last, but there's nothing wrong with good intentions!

I fully intended to make some cards and scrapbook tonight, but I've somehow managed to accomplish next to nothing!

Last week, a friend, mentor, and coworker celebrated her 50th birthday!

I started out with the Deconstructed Sketch #137, and set off to work!  Again, I used the Doodlebug Designs Take Note paper (ahem, I accidentally bought 2 of them!).

The "50" was cut out using the Tall Numbers dies from Taylored Expressions.

Thanks for stopping by again today!  Hopefully I'll be back again soon!

{VLV} Happy Birthday

Good Morning!

So, it's been A LONG TIME since I posted last!  I've been a terrible blogger as of lately.  But I'm hoping things have turned a corner for now, and I'll be able to be a good blogger for a while!

On to the good stuff.....

My DD had a birthday party this past weekend, and needed a card.  I found this week's Viva La Verve sketch, and set to work!

I had already coloured up this adorable Wrynn (Eat More Cake), from Tiddly Inks Digitals.  I then pulled everything else together using the Take Note paper pad by Doodlebug Design Co.

Thanks so much for stopping by today.  Hopefully I'll have a new post tomorrow!
