Happy Birthday, Dear Friend (and USA, too!)

Soon we will be celebrating the Fourth of July here in the U.S.A.  When I was picking out a card to share with you today, I decided to share a card I made for my friend Asia's birthday this week.  I think it is appropriate also for wishing America a very "Happy Birthday!"

Supplies:
Stamps: Stampers Anonymous, Simon Says Stamp
Paper: Simon Says Stamp
Ink: Memento Black, Archival 
Misc.: Copic Markers, Corner Rounder

You may have noticed that I haven't been blogging that much lately.  Lots going on currently, and with summer added to the mix, time has been flying by.  I made a promise to myself to slow down and enjoy the nice weather, and to work on myself a bit!  Working on getting more exercise and making better diet choices.  Wish me luck!

Wishing all those in the U.S. a very Happy Fourth of July!

Until next time!

A Little Shopping, A Little Wine

Hi, guys!  A friend of mine asked me to make her BFF a birthday card. My friend mentioned that two of her friend's favorite things are shopping and wine.   I got to break out my Hero Arts/Sizzix stamp die cut combo. I love this gal and how she can hold shopping bags, or a purse to change it up.  I used my Vagabond machine to cut out the shapes and I used the computer to generate her name.

Supplies:
Stamps/Die Cuts: Hero Arts/Sizzix, The Craft Lounge
Ink: Memento Black, Copic Markers, Distress Inks
Paper: The Ink Pad NYC
Misc.: Gems, Cuttlebug Embossing Folder

My friend loved the card, and I hope Sheryl likes it and enjoyed her birthday.

Wishing you a fun-filled day!  I may have to go shopping now!
