Birthday Card Time

It is one of my best friends birthdays on Thursday and I have made a card for her...as usual though it will arrive late but at least I have sent it prior to the birthday this time! I decided to base it on a card I saw on K Werner's blog a while ago.

I just added white gel pen around the cut out pieces as I laid them flat not using dimensionals. It is a great way to have simplicity but also using left over pieces effectively!

Now next on my ever growing list is the Christmas cards....and thinking of pressies too!

Ingredient List:
Stampin Up: Sincere Salutations stamp set - tempting turquoise ink, Berry Bliss DSP for two squares. Non SU - Bazzil Kraft CS, remaining squares other patterned paper in my stash!

Back To Work & Birthdays

Yes my long weekend is over and do I feel all refreshed and ready to return to work....NO! I feel the need for more than an extra day as lovely and relaxing as it was...I think I need at least a week! Last night I was trying to get a birthday card done for a friend of ours and do you think I could come up with something...no inspiration whatsoever so at 6am this morning I had to get up and make something in time before Damo went to work so he could take it with him! No pressure or anything! My creative thinking at least was back after a good nights sleep and here is the card below:

The card has not really come out as nice in the photo but that's because I am trying to take the photo at 7am - sun isn't really high enough just yet! I have the butterflies inside the card too! I was after something cheerful and I am happy with how it turned out considering when I started out this morning this is not exactly what I had in mind! The chipboard buttons that have a shadow on them have foam adhesive and the others are just normal!

I hope that you like it and I hope that my friend does too - which I will no doubt find out soon enough! And now I should really start on the "work" part of my day!
