Happy Birthday!

I made this card in June for my friend's birthday. She JUST NOW got it yesterday. Ugh! No, not because mail delivery is slow...but because I am slow! Every time we would get together, I forgot her card. Anyway, I finally gave it to her yesterday, so now I can post it.

I got these wonderful, adorable butterflies from my GOOD friend Tonya. If you haven't checked out her blog, run over and do it now! She is fabulous! And, she likes to keep quiet about her work, so, I am going to toot a horn for her! A new scrapbook store opened up in her area and she is teaching classes there and her designs are hanging in the store!!! How very exciting!!! The people in her area are very fortunate!!!!!!!!! I'm proud of ya girl!!!

It's all right to use all white!

Yeah, I know, I'm corny. LOL!

I saw one of the Pretties blogs, Can You Say Addicted To Stamps, and I fell in LOVE with the white on white. It seems kind of taboo, but I had to use this idea along with my GOOD friend Tonya's butterfly idea to come up with this cute little card.

I don't have the awesome butterfly punch, but I found these little stickers at the Dollar Tree.

Branch Out...why dontcha?

Since it's 60 today...when it was 92 yesterday, I made a fall card. LOL! YES, I realize, we are only in June, but hey, you get your inspiration where ever it comes from. Right?

I don't know if you can see the top note die "shadow" behind the white top note, but all I did was cut one out in creamy caramel and cut it in 1/2 and only used the top and bottom pieces of the brown to make it look like I fit the white inside of it. Make sense???

I also ran the More Mustard thru the crimper for some dimension. I also added a piece of velvet ribbon.

Stamp Set: Branch Out
Paper: Ruby Red, More Mustard, Creamy Caramel, Whisper White
Ink: Basic Brown
Markers: Garden Green, More Mustard, Ruby Red, Real Red
Misc: Hodgepodge hardware, Velvet Ribbon, Crimper
