Happy Birthday Wishes

You know, sometimes you can just over think things to the point of  wanting to scream.  That was me trying to figure out how I was going to use all four colors from the Fab Friday Challenge and have my card look decent.  I mean, sometimes too much card stock is not a good thing.  Then, light bulb moment here, it doesn't always have to be paper, how about using some of the inks you have on the shelf!  I don't know why I always think card stock, but once I figured that little dilemma out, here is the card I made using the Fab Friday colors and the sketch from Pals Paper Arts.

  
Stamp Sets:  Gorgeous Grunge, Simply Sketched (Stampin' Up!); Inks:  Coastal Cabana, Summer Starfruit (Stampin' Up!); Card Stock:  Pool Party, Crisp Cantaloupe, Whisper White (Stampin' Up!); Accessories & Tools:  Circles Collection Framelits, Large Pearl Basic Jewels (Stampin' Up!), Clear Rock Candy Distress Stickles (Tim Holtz), Pop Dots

Michael"s Birthday

Today is my youngest son's birthday.  I hadn't used The Open Sea stamp set in quite a while and thought it would be perfect for a guy card.  The design is one I saved  during one of my browsing through card designs days.  I don't remember who originally designed it but I do want to say thank you to whomever it was.  I really like how it all came together.


Stamp Sets:  The Open Sea and Simply Sketched Hostess Set (Stampin' Up!); Ink:  Baked Brown Sugar; Card Stock:  Whisper White (Stampin' Up!) Blue card base (unknown), Down by the Shore (Fancy Pants); Accessories & Tools:  Extra Large Oval Punch, Spiral Border Punch - retired and Early Espresso Baker's Twine (Stampin' Up!)

Now I'm headed over to have pizza with the family to celebrate his birthday.  You know I must really love him a whole bunch to go out in this weather.  It's only seven degrees at this time.  By the time I get ready to come back home, it ought to be nice and frigid!

Until next time...happy creating!
