Razzleberry Birthday

I created this card for my beautiful daughter-in-law on her birthday.  Started with a white base, layered Old Olive then a Rich Razzleberry layer that I ran through the Big Shot with the dot folder.  I used markers directly on the stamp, then stamped it on white, and layered it on Bermuda Bay with a punched edge.  It doesn't show in the picture, but I used Dazzling Diamonds on the candle flame and on the little dots decorating the cake.  I used some colored wire to cinch the ribbon into a bow and attach the button, then used glue dots to stick it on top.  I looks happy and fun for a spring birthday.  Hope you like it!

Ice Cream Parlor BIrthday

I've had lots of fun with this paper, buttons and ribbon.  It's bright and just gives me a happy feeling.  I'd love to hear your comments for any of my cards. 

Quilted Birthday

So many beautiful quilted cards are out, especially using Springtime Vintage.  This one starts with a square turned on the diagonal in the center, then 3/8 inch strips laid around it one a time.  This is a wonderful tutorial I found on Nancy's blog.  Thanks, Nancy!

Simple Sympathy

Used the sketch from the 411 198 challenge again as the basis for this card.  I wanted it simple, yet pretty for my friend.
