Birthday Cards

Hi Friends-Wow! Where did the summer go?  I have been missing from action-very busy-but missing from action. That doesn't mean, I wasn't making any cards though! Thought I would share a couple I made for family members this last month.

This was my daughters birthday card. She was a gift card holder!

This was my mom's birthday card. I love the "Wonderful Words" dies from Papertrey ink!

This is my sister's birthday card. I just love "Sassy Cheryl's" Digi images. They are sooo cute and such fun to color too! Here is a close-up of her!

Isn't she sweet......

Yes, lots of birthdays in the month of August to make cards for and we went to Disneyland too! And I was working full time too!  And then a sad note-had a house fire just a couple of days before our trip to Disney. Our propane tank on the B-B-Q blew up and caught the back side of our house on fire and did some damage. We are finally next week going to have new siding, windows, and door put on and then paint the house. So, it was a busy month and that is why I have been missing in action!

Papertrey Ink-Make-It-Monday Challenge #23

This week's challenge at Papertrey Ink is to make a pocket with an edger die on your card. So, this is my take on the challenge-it was a lot of fun-Gotta Love those edger dies!

I used "Edgers #1" die for my pocket edges, and I also used the "Button Up #2" die to make the flowers, and the "Picket Fence" die to make the fence. I used the "Garden Variety" stamp for the grass on the fence, and "Little Bitty Bird" stamp set for the leaves and stem of the flowers, and "Tiny Tags" stamp for the "hello friend" stamp on the small tag.

Enjoy- and take a peek at all the other creative card makers that have joined in the fun:

Card Class-Kits for sale

I can't believe how time is passing me by-where has it gone? I have sold the store-"Scrappin' Friends." I am going back to teaching (this summer a Kindergarten Readiness Program at Turtle Bay Elementary and in the fall, I will be the Director of a new Pre-K program at Turtle Bay). I am very excited about this new adventure, and look forward to getting back into the classroom again. Even though, I will miss your visits to me at the store, I will be seeing you at various scrapbook adventures in town. I am hoping to continue teaching card classes and other various classes as well in the future.
I wanted to pass along this fun card class that I did just this last week. We had a great time, and it was fun to be able to see friends that I have made while at the store. I still have a couple of kits for these cards, so if you are interested, you can contact me at: scrappinfriends.redding@yahoo.com

The kits are $20 (without shipping) and $23 (includes shipping). You recieve 5 card kits (with all materials and photos).

I used the new "Stella and Rose" paper line from My Minds Eye. Love that company and this paperline definately doesn't dissappoint-so many fun patterns and colors that all coordinate!

Have a great weekend. I am off to the Rodeo Parade that we have here in our town today-love seeing all the children's smiling faces and the anticipation of what they will see next!
