HAPPY Birthday Ty!

Saturday marked my nephew's birthday.  He's grown up so fast.  In honor of his birthday, I made this card...Not to send to him, but to celebrate.  I think it's a little girly for him and he'd rather have something with a sports theme...or maybe a kayak...or even better, just a check!

This week at Woodware USA we're creating birthday cards.  And this fit the bill PERFECTLY.  This time, I did go a little overboard with the stamps because I can't believe it but I used THREE SETS!!!  They work perfectly together though. 

Pretty Labels

School Tots

Mixed Greetings

Hee hee...played around with the photo shoot too...dumped a whole container of cupcake sprinkles (Jimmies) all over the table!!!  ")

Woodware USA's Challenge 25...COLORS!

 This week at WoodwareUSA it's a COLOR Challenge!!!  Yep, that's right.  I LOVE color challenges, especially when they include my favorite color BLUE! 

This card was created using the Garden Greetings set.  I stamped the Jacaranda Blue Bazzill cardstock with Versamagic wihite ink.  Thanks to Dawn too for the lovely Prima flowers...They worked perfectly on this card! 

 I think right now, I have a thing for using grid paper.  I don't know what it is but it's just so pretty to me in combination with blues and browns...and stitching!!! 

Head over to the Woodware USA blog to check out all the other cards my fellow design team sisters have created this week.  We hope to have inspired you to pull out some blue, yellow and brown paper to create an AWESOME card! 

Today we're also bidding farewell to Anne who has stepped down from the Woodware USA design team.  I hope to see you around in blog land and I KNOW I'll be seeing many, many, many projects from you!!!

Off Season...

Yes, I know it's not Springtime in Virginia and we're getting ready for my favorite snowy time of year, but I think I need a little sunshiney sparkle to pep me up a bit.  I don't know about you, but I get happy when I see flowers!  So today, I'm sharing a card I created especially for the WoodwareUSA Challenge of the week:  Birthday Greetings.  Maybe I can send it to a friend in a sunny climate right now.  

I created this card using the ever-so-versatile set called Garden Greetings .  I love that many of the sentiment sets by Woodware include tiny images that coordinate with everything.  I seem to use these tiny images in a lot of my cards because they work so well in clusters, as added details to tags and fun focal images on tiny cards.  As you can see above, I stamped the cluster of flowers several times on the plain cardstock backing then stamped some additional ones to pop up off the page and give a FULL floral effect. 

Since I hadn't used any of the pink card packs I picked up at Joanne's a few months ago (a STEAL of a deal at $2.00 a pack of 8 cards and envies DCWV 5 1/2 x 5 1/2), I knew this was the perfect card to make with one of them.   

I really did want this card to be CAS...but I just can't seem to hold back...thus, CAS this is not.  It does have a lot of WHITE space, so perhaps that is as close as I'm going to get!  LOL...

I doodled a bit too.  I wanted to have some heart flowers included in the floral cluster since there was a cute little heart on the watering can.  Hope you enjoy!
