Thor birthday card

We have a gentleman friend that people like to refer to as Thor since he is a Cross Fit coach and rather buff.  So for his birthday, I made this card using the pre-colored image from Cr8H and a sentiment from TLC.  I added some buttons for dimension.

Cardstock:  Bazzil; Recollections

Life's a beach go with flow

It's official - it's summer.  Today it's hot and humid here.  So it would be perfect to go to the beach.  The sentiment is from TLC.  The image is a freebie that I got from Melonheadz.  I put Glossy Accents on the sunglasses and some pearls on the earrings.

I got the new release of stamps from Verve and had fun making this card.  I was also able to use the new dies.  It was nice to not have the sentiment be on white paper and actually be on patterned paper.

You are seriously awesome

My six year old nephew is taking a karate class so I made this card for him.  I usually send him some books occasionally so I thought this would be a good card to send along.  He is getting so big.
