Happy Birthday from the gang

This card I made for my supervisor who is taking the week of her birthday off because she is celebrating a special decade....just want a good review so I didn't want to mention it. Added some Stickles and Liquid Pearls for sparkle and shine. Also did some paper piecing which I haven't done in quite sometime.

One to Brag

I had wanted to make this card sooner and then thought that I wasn't going to make it so I was going to put the stamp away....and then thought....let's do this.  It was unusually nice today and we had temps in the 50's and it was sunny so I got out for a nice long walk; however, they are saying we are in for a temp drop and snow for Thursday.  So while I'm in a good mood I took advantage of it and made a card, lol.  I made this as one of my favorite layouts, a tri-shutter card.

Baked with Love for you this Christmas

Made this card for the Imagine That Digistamp Thursday Inspiration using the Chef Freddy set.  This is a wonderful set because it has a regular chef and then the Christmas chef.  I used the pre-colored version.  Trying to keep up with my Christmas stash.

Cake makes everything better

My daughter doesn't handle change well, so moving and graduating is a lot for her to handle.  So I picked up some groceries to send to her - cake mixes and fun frosting included.  So I thought this would be the perfect card for her.  The sentiment is from TLC.  The image is a pre-colored one from the Paper Shelter.  I made this an easel card, since that is her favorite layout.

Birthdays....it's all about the cake

At Imagine That, we are celebrating its 3rd birthday.  Kris has some new adorable images.  I used the birthday cake from the Brontosaurus Cake set and the papers from the Brontosaurus Cake, Triceratops Balloons and Stegosaurus Presents. The sentiment is from TLC.  I added some stickles on the candles and frosting as well as some star bling.
