'Birthday Wishes' Card

Every Monday morning, one of the first blogs I check out is Mojo Monday.  

I'm they type of crafter that needs a starting point before I sit down to make a card,

and the sketches from Mojo Monday do just that.  

The card I'm sharing today was based on THIS SKETCH.

I wish I could get my cards made in time 

to submit them to Mojo Monday's card challenge gallery,

but I'm always a day late and a dollar short ;)

It's Friday!!

Just wanted to pop in real quick 

and share a fun card inspired by 

THIS ONE from Lucy's Cards.

(I just LOVE her work!)

I'm loving the color combo!

An up close look...

I had fun putting this card together!

I got to use some new supplies that I bought recently,

as well as pull out my sewing machine.

(I really love the look of stitches on cards)

Have a great weekend!

'Zoo Babies' Cards

There's nothing like sitting down to make cards, 

and having them turn out just like you pictured them in your head :)

The cards I'm sharing today were inspired by THIS CARD.  

I loved the simple layout, and knew that I could make lots of cards 

in a short amount of time.

When I was making the elephant card, I realized that I didn't have 

a scalloped circle punch large enough to layer with the 2" circle punch.  

So I made use of what punches I DO have, and came up with this fun little trick.

I punched 2 Flourish Squares like this...

And then glued them together to make a scalloped circle. 

It ended up being the perfect size for what I needed!

Love it when that happens!
