Epic Birthday

My nephew loves shoes... I'm not even sure I know how many he has now. With that in mind, I found this stamp within the 'Epic Celebrations' stamp set. Very appropriate!

I used the Stamparatus to stamp the 'Happy Birthday' stamped background. The sentiment is from the 'Birthday Blossoms' stamp set.

Thanks for looking!

Supplies Used:
Stamp Sets - Epic Celebrations, Birthday Blossoms
Ink - Sahara Sand, Tranquil Tide
Paper - Sahara Sand, Tranquil Tide, Whisper White
Accessories - Big Shot, Circles Collection Framelits

Meadows Lodge 2018

Mike and I went on a family vacation to a lodge in southern Ohio in July 2018. The Lodge is called Meadows Lodge and its part of the Buffalo Lodging Company in Rockbridge, Ohio. Beautiful log cabins and lodges there. The Meadows Lodge comfortably fit all of our 22 people in our family. We stayed for 4 nights and 3 days... it was wonderful to get together and be with family.

I decided to create a photobook for each family (6 in all), so I kept it simple and focused on the photos. I used my My Memories Suite digital software to create the pages... and used Shutterfly to get them printed (it was cheaper than going through My Memories to get printed, as Shutterfly had a 50% off entire order plus free shipping! Can't beat that!).

There is the actual book, and here are the pages I designed within:

Every Bloom

 

Some of my cards are CASE(d) cards, which means, I copied and stamped everything the same as someone else. This is the case with this card. I saw "Stampin and Scrappin' with GJ's" on Pinterest and fell in love with the simplicity of the card. Now, I believe she actually CASEd this card from someone else too, but I don't have the info to place here.

So Thank YOU to whoever came up with this lovely design.

Thanks for taking a peek!

Supplies Used:

Stamp Sets - Blooming with Kindness, Happy Birthday Everyone

Ink - Fresh Fig, Memento

Paper - Whisper White, Fresh Fig

Accessories - Fresh Fig Finely Woven Ribbon, Whisper White Organza Ribbon, Basic Pearls

 

Unicorn Birthday

My neighbor wanted a special birthday card created for her granddaughter who was turning 3 this year! I was shown her invitation and she wanted a card that was similar.

I found the unicorn image online... through a person who had thank you cards created with this image.  Thanks to her, I was able to download the PDF image and create a card with my own wording in my digital software.

The font used within this card is Chopin Script.

Thanks for stopping by!

Supplies Used:

My Memories Suite digital software
Image - Unicorn
Font - Chopin Script (black)
Paper - Gold Foil, Balmy Blue, Whisper White

Record Celebration

When I saw Eimear's card (right) I just knew I needed to create one for myself for my nephew. He collects and plays records... and this was so perfect for him. Thanks Eimear for your inspiration!

It looks like Eimear embossed the "record" with circles. I chose to just die-cut nesting circles and placed them on top of each other (centered) to create the "record". Either way works.

Thanks for taking a closer look!

Supplies Used:

Stamp Set - Epic Celebrations

Ink - Dapper Denim, Gray Granite, Memento

Paper - Dapper Denim, Basic Black, Whisper White

Accessories - Big Shot, Circles Collection Framelits
