Happy Birthday Card Creation

And a Happy Memorial Day Week to everyone!  I hope everyone had a nice day with maybe a little time to reflect on why we celebrate Memorial Day.

I continue on my own challenge to use up supplies I have including the fabulous March Simon Says Stamp Card Kit.  I loved the stamp set that came with it...but I've enjoyed all the SSS exclusive sets.  They are great quality!

I stamped this non bulked up card with various inks...some Stampin' Up, some Hero Arts and your guess is as good as mine! :)  The sentiment is Paper Smooches.

 I added a little bling to it and mounted the white cardstock on some black and was done!

And then I took a few of the extra 6x6 sheets of printed paper from the kit that I hadn't used and made a few envelopes with my We R Memory Keepers Envelope Punch Board.  These will hold gift cards or gift enclosures.  A great way to use up pieces of paper!


I've entered this in the following challenges:

Bearly Mine Challenge: Spring/Summer Colors
Simon Says Stamp Challenge: Anything Goes


On a side note...my son proposed to his girlfriend on Sunday and here are a few pictures of the big proposal.  It was so sweet....my son had arranged for all family to be there (her parents, his parents, sister, brothers, niece, nephew, etc.)  That was no small feat as were all had to be down at the beach...over 400 miles away.  Although the parents knew it was a surprise to the others including his new fiance so that was very fun.




It's so much fun seeing our kids grow up and become adults but let me tell you....there is a very bittersweet quality to it, too!!! :)

But life IS good!

Happy Crafting!

    Like the floral birthday card with just the right amt of bling. Like the photos of the proposal. Archiver's has a 40% off coupon this wk and I'm not in KC, MO to use it at the Overland, KS store and also my name is still down on a waiting list for the We R Memory Keeper Punch Board.
