More Happy Birthday (TO ME!)

Happy Saturday My Blogger Friends!

Today I have more birthday cards to share with you.  Let's jump right in with these cards........ 

First up is the card I received from my mentor and sweet friend Sandra.  I'm loving this card and plan to CASE this layout for some card creations of my own.

Next is the PERFECT birthday card for me.  It's one that my dear sweet friend Donna made for me.  This card had so much texture going on that I just keep looking at it and thinking......WOW.....Donna put a ton of work into this card!

This is the card I received from the SaddleBrooke PaperCrafters.  There wasn't a name of the back of the card.....but I know that someone was thinking of me when they made this card!

And my last card share for today is the SUPER FUN card I received from my stamping buddy Opal.  As if her card wasn't a total hit.......Check out how her card arrived to my mailbox......

Opal used last years Stampin' UP! catalog and made a DARLING envelope out of one of the pages.  HOW FUN IS THIS!  I'm sure my mail-person just smiled when she dropped this little cutie into my mailbox.

MANY THANKS my friends for your fabulous birthday cards.........I have each of them hanging on my IKEA rack in my studio.  I will think of each of you when I look up at them.

Thanks for joining me today!  I'll be back tomorrow to share with you a few more birthday cards I received ............ Hope you can make plans to stop back and join me for that share.  Keep Living Your Dream!

4th of July Mailbox Gifts

Happy Thursday My Blogger Friends!

Today I have a special little 4th of July treat to share with you.  Check out these ADORABLE mailbox gifts that I made for my SaddleBrooke friends........

They are fire-cracker pin-wheel gifts

I made 24 of these little cuties up and delivered them yesterday morning

The pin-wheels came together in a SNAP......With the help of my June Paper Pumpkin Kit. 

 I just love the center brad that holds the pin-wheels together.

 The firecracker box was a little something that I came up with......

It's a 6"x4-1/2" piece of cardstock that was scored 1" on the 6" side (both ends) and then I flipped it to the 4-1/2" side and scored at 1/2", 1-1/2", 2-1/2" and 3-1/2".

I took out my new star stamp set and stamped stars all over the cardstock and then used white embossing powder and prettied these little cuties up. 

 The white embossing powder added that special little touch I was looking for.

 I also embossed the tag for each of my holders......and this was an old single stamp that SU sold several years ago and I never parted with it.

 Here's what my firecracker gifts looked like after I packaged them up.

And here they are ....... waiting for me to head out the door and delivery them to my Saddlebrooke friends.

Thanks for joining me today!  I'll be back tomorrow to share with you more birthday cards that I've received ......... Hope you can make plans to stop back and join me for that share.  Keep Living Your Dream!

Birthday Card From Gail

Happy Wednesday My Blogger Friends!

Today I have a special birthday card to share with you........One that I received a couple weeks ago from my good friend Gail.  Check out what she made for me.......

 Do you think Gail knows me or what!

 She designed this special PINK birthday card for me.........and I'm seriously in love with all the different shades of pink that Gail used to create this card.

I'm sure that Gail created this with the help of her SU Fringe Scissors and some extra strength adhesive.

 Of course one of the special little features on this card is the ADORABLE owl that she created. 

Here's a close-up of this little owl.  And SURPRISE - SURPRISE..........he has a fabulously YUMMY pink bow! 

Thank You Gail for remembering my birthday and for making me such a truly amazing birthday card.  I LOVE IT!

Birthday Card From Mary

Happy Tuesday My Blogger Friends!

Today I have a special little birthday card to share with you.  It's one that my good friend Mary Fish sent to me.  Check this FABULOUS card out.......

I'm loving this card that Mary made for me......... 

 It just screams HAPPY BIRTHDAY KADIE!

Mary used the new heart border punch to create a darling row of 4-hearts........

And then she took the negative heart punch pieces and used those heart to decorate the bottom portion of my card.  BRILLIANT MARY!

I'm loving my special birthday card and have it hanging on my IKEA wire rack in my studio.  Thank You Mary for remembering my birthday........You are a SPECIAL FRIEND!

4th of July PinWheel

Happy Monday My Blogger Friends!

Today I have a birthday kick-off to share with you.  My birthday is on the 4th of July and thought this would be a great way to begin my birthday week celebration.  I made this with my June Paper Pumpkin Kit........

The June Paper Pumpkin kit came with everything I needed to make 24-SUPER FUN Pinwheels!

I created these four pinwheels for a little 4th of July decorations for my studio.

The pinwheels were made up of some fun patriotic designer series paper.

And held together with a jumbo brad.......

And attached my pinwheels to some red/white straws.

I popped my pinwheels into a pretty glass vase.....that had red/white shredded filler paper added to it.  A coordinating bow was added around the vase and this project was DONE!

 

Thanks for joining me today!  I'll be back tomorrow to share with you darling birthday card that I received ............ Hope you can make plans to stop back and join me for that share.  Keep Living Your Dream!

Work of Art Card

Happy Sunday My Blogger Friends!

Today I have one last Work of Art card to share with you.  This is one of the first cards I made with this set........

I originally designed this card to be one of the cards I was going to take and swap at the SU Convention in July. 

 I used Pumpkin Pie, Daffodil Delight, Rich Razzleberry and Tempting Turquoise Ink.

 I added some of the new Silver Metallic Baker's Twine around the bottom of my card.....

 And added some of the new Gold Sequin Trim pieces to my card.

 

 This has to be one of my favorite layouts to use for this new stamp set!
 

Thanks for joining me today!  I'll be back tomorrow to share with you a fun 4th of July arrangements I made .............. Hope you can make plans to stop back and join me for that share.  Keep Living Your Dream!
