Birthday Card ~ Birthday Pastels {1st Post}

Has this ever happened to you...?

Your project is nearly complete and then it happens...

 ...a falling ink pad ...a finger print usually ink related for me lol

...a blob of something unwanted usually glue related for me. lol.

That is exactly what happened to this card I created earlier this week.

Instead of stressing it I put it aside and made it again.

Now I am not one to throw things out. {Just ask my hubby. lol}

I scavenged the flowers and sentiment by cutting them out 

and putting them together to create this card.

I even had room to add some Skittles. tee hee hee.

*Flowers from the Floral Bookmarking stamp set from Simon Says Stamp.
*Flower cut using the Floral Bookmark die set from Simon Says Stamp.
*Sentiment cut using the Happy die set from Simon Says Stamp.

*Sentiment from the Happy stamp set from Simon Says Stamp.
*Skittles from DoubleClick Skittles.

*Versa Magic Sea Breeze, Pixie Dusty and Aloe Vera stamp pads from Tsukineko.

May your day always be filled with love.

Thank You Card ~ Spring Birds

I would like to thank Carrie at Double-Click Skittles 

for the pretty Skittles I used on my card.

I was her lucky challenge #17/18 winner. 

These Skittles were part of my prize goodies.

I also used some new Your Next Stamp 

goodies I just received last week.

You may already know I love cute little bird stamps.

The birds in this set are AWW-dorable. 

They each have their own little personality.

I used both the YNS sketch and colors to create my card.

*Card base 4.25 x 5.5 in.
*Birds and limbs from the Spring Birds stamp set from Your Next Stamp.
*Birds and limbs cut using the Spring Birds die set from Your Next Stamp.
*Sentiment from the Smiley Happy Critter Crew Two stamp set from Your Next Stamp.
*Skittles from DoubleClick-AKA Abusybee.
*Circle cut using the Nesting Circles die set from We R Memory Keepers.
*E33, YR04, BG09 and R37 markers from Copic.
*Memento Tuxedo Black stamp pad from Tsukineko.

May your day always be filled with love.
