Birthday Card!

Here is a birthday card I made for my Paper Ponderings friend Denise! It is her birthday today! I used the cocoa cup template from Fairyblossoms. It took me forever to figure out what I wanted to do with this card. I was just happy I had it done for her birthday!






My recipe for the card is: Stampin' Up Pink Piroutte Paper, Fiskars Threading Water border punch, Spellbinders Oval nesties, HOTP Sweet Blossoms and Swirls stamps, Prismacolor pencils, gold and clear embossing power (no name).

I Have Been Challenged!

Denise at Paper Ponderings has challenged me and Deb at In His Grip to post the sixth picture in our sixth folder in My Pictures and tell the story behind it! The picture below is Denise herself along with a friend of ours, Morrine. They are sitting in front of the Roadhouse before we went in for luch to celebrate Morrine's birthday. Picture number 5 on the right is Denise, Parked along a street in Salem doing a dance to embarrass Morrine into deciding where to go for lunch for her birthday! I finally made the decision to go to the Roadhouse. Morrine was hilarious because she didn't want to throw the peanut shells on the floor, which is a tradition at the Roadhouse!

Birds!

Here are two cards I made with the Spellbinders Nested Bird Shapabilities! I couldn't decided what I really wanted so I ended up with two different cards!

I also used Spellbinders Bugs for the branch, Brenda Walton's dogwood punch for the flower and all the paper is DCWV except for the brown which is recycled from something else. I sanded all of the DCWV card stock and I really like the results!
