Summer is made sweeter with handmade cards. Here are a few I wanted to share with you before August is over and done with. I had a great time making these--the weather was warm and the patio door was thrown wide open to let in plenty of fresh air and inspiration! And, once I was in the groove, these cards were easier to "crank out" than a batch of homemade ice cream! Hope you've had a lovely August. Enjoy! I date-stamped this one and gave it to a colleague with an August birthday. Papercrafting is sort of my "life ring," and I do love red. A tiny little "summer" rub-on adds some life to the polka dot chipboard embellishment. This is probably my favorite card of the whole bunch. (Anything pink is a good thing.) The aqua polka dot edging is ripped self-adhesive fabric.  I date-stamped this one and turned it into a thank you note for a sweet friend. This one is still sitting on my desk but it needs to get in the mail to my cousins who host...

I ordered from a new scrapbook supplier and am thrilled with their products! Check out these cards I made with Pretty Little Studio flash cards, vintage cut-outs, and surprise paper ribbons from their Birthday Cake line. Super. Duper. Cute. Thanks to Pretty Little Studio for creating these inspiring--and totally satisfying--products! xo

Just sharing a few of my birthday greetings with you today! With so many birthdays coming up, I felt I needed to stock up on my birthday card stash before I got in a bind. I had fun using a set of Martha Stewart birthday-themed chipboard and other colorful supplies I already had in my stash. Enjoy these fun and simple designs... I stained my wood chip sentiment with Heidi Swapp Color Shine. What a versatile and vibrant product! I love it. Happy birthday to all you January babies out there! Make a wish...

Hello, friends and card crafters! In our household, two out of our three birthdays are SUMMER birthdays, so this--along with goodies the adorable October Afternoon "Cakewalk" line--inspired me to make some fun summer-birthday-themed greeting cards this week. Our girl turned 16, so I wanted to make a cute girlie card. The black-and-white flower was made with my Slice. Thanks to my sister for snagging me the pretty white Hambly Studios doily rub-ons. Sadly, you may have heard that Hambly is closing its doors. I will miss your fabulous products, Hambly Studios! The following three cards are a series inspired by Vickie Boutin's book,  Creative Foundations . Who loves Starburst? And who loves them on these cards? Fun! I have really loved this birthday set of Basic Grey chipboard stickers. What a happy little lollipop! Perfect for a joyful kid's card. It's really not a party without an awesome hat. Add a tiny dot of iridescent Stickl...
