Happy Birthday Yolanda!

It's fun designing a card with someone in mind. Last night I worked on a card for my friend and co-worker Yolanda. I felt her card needed to be bold, beautiful and sensual to fit her personality.  I'm glad she liked it when I gave it to her today. 

Materials used - all Stampin' Up (unless otherwise noted)
Stamp sets: Build a Blossom, En Francais, Tiny Tags
Paper: Cherry Cobbler, Crumb Cake, Basic Black
Ink: Cherry Cobbler, Crumb Cake

I also shot a picture of my friend and co-worker Mary Pagan holding the card I gave her last month. She sits next to Yolanda and volunteered to have her picture taken. Love ya Mary!

When I came home today there was a flurry of red robins flying around in the trees and bushes next to our house. They were really being pigs gorging on gobs of berries.

I'm still challenging myself to make a card a day. Tonight I'm going to work on Easter cards!

Spring Vintage - Thinking of You

If this was a get well card, I'd probably send it to myself. I've been terribly sick with the flu this past week, but I'm slowly getting better.

For this card, I used the Sale-a-bration Spring Vintage stamp set and Everyday Enchantment DSP. I just love this set!  I've seen so many wonderful cards made by others using this combination. Here's what I came up with.
