Stampin' Up On the Grow

Hello Peeps !!!

Happy Saturday !!!

I really enjoyed making this card for Consider It Cased week. I cased this bright and beautiful card from Dayanna's blog ( Impressions by Day). I did not have the DSP she used so I did substitute it with the In Color DSP, did atextured on the background and instead of using the round circle, I just uesed the scallop circle to frame my main image. I think she added pearls around her circle and it is just gorgeous.
I just usedpiercing around mine and added a sentiment tag on mine. Hope you like it.
Thanks Dayanna for this wonderful opportunity to cased you.

Stampin' Up Happy Together

Hello Peeps !!!

Happy Wednesday !!!

I made this card to everyone celebrating their May birthdays, including
my sister ( May 18) and my "big" friend Maya ( May 10) have May birthdays. I just got a text from my sister and she loves her Brighton ensemble. She got her early birthday present because of  Mother's Day. I do this every year since she fell in love with Brighton.
Maya is my classmate from college - great and bestfriend ever . Yesterday was her birthday and  I meant to post something that I found in my clippings years and years ago  but could not remember  where I put it. Finally this morning, I found what I was looking for. I will just let you read it and I am sure she will get a kick out of this.

A Birthday Thought
by Maya

Days come and go
Each day not making one any younger
Each day is a day to live by,
A day either to be cherished
or to be forgotten
For days passing by maybe so satisfying
or be so annoying
Think neither of the satisfying days or
the annoying days that have passed;
Past is past...fruitful or fruitless
It will never come back
Think of the present and
Visualize the future...

The flowers I cut on one side and overlap the petals on top of each other.  Hope you like it.

Heartfelt Thanks

Hello Peeps !!!

Happy Friday !!!

Need something bright and cheery?  This is the card- using Poppy Parade, Daffodil Delight and Pear Pizzazz.  I used the Petal Blossoms punch and the stamp set.

I did the easy way to make the petals- I cut them  first and then stamp the petals in White Craft ink. I just love the effect of the white on the Poppy Parade paper. The leaves I decided to cut by hand and it worked really well for me. Hope you like it.
