Summertime Birthday

Although I'm not big on birthday parties for myself, it sure is fun to throw one for others especially during summer. You can enjoy the nice weather and do some grilling. My husband's birthday is this weekend and I realized I only had "pretty" looking birthday cards in my stash like the one above. I struggle with making masculine looking cards, but I'm sure I'll be able to throw something together.

Have a great day & happy stamping!

Baja Breeze, Poppy Parade . . . ??

Baja Breeze and Poppy Parade . . . who thinks up the names of these colors? It never ceases to amaze me the colors Stampin' Up! comes out with and how well you can mix and match them. Love it!

I used Greenhouse Gala Designer Series Paper and Pawsitively Prints Designer Series Paper to create this little note for my mother-in-law who is down & out right now. I included an amazing picture of her and my son together I know she will enjoy.

My wrist is better, not 100%, but much better. Thank you for all your well wishes!

Get ready for the new 2011-2012 Stampin' Up! Idea Book & Catalog. I will add the link to my right sidebar as soon as it becomes available next week.

Enjoy your weekend and happy stamping!

Like a Bird in a Cage

So who is smart enough to sprain their wrist on Memorial Day - the official start of summer? ME! I feel like this bird in a cage. Thankfully it's my left wrist (I am right-handed) and it's only a sprain. I never realized though how much your left hand supports what your right hand is doing. It's getting better, but not fast enough.

It hasn't stopped me from stamping! You can stamp with one hand. Hee hee! My little bird and cage is from the Stampin' Up! set Aviary. This set is so neat because you can mix & match the birds and cages. Very fun! Check it out on page 121 in the current Stampin' Up! Idea Book & Catalog.

Enjoy your week and happy stamping!

Nautical Expedition

I CASED this card from page 10 of the Stampin' Up! Summer Mini Catalog. I plan to use this one as a graduation card for a male. I just love using the new stamp set The Open Sea. This set nicely compliments the new Designer Series Paper Nautical Expedition. What a bonus!

TGIF and happy stamping!
