Happy Sweet 16

A special girl is turning 16 so here's the special card I made her. 

Actually made with the discontinued color Gumball Green paired with Melon Mambo. I love these colors together!! 

The ribbon is discontinued also but makes a nice mock DSP! It was a fun card to make & I hope she loves it!! 

Happy Fathers Day

A little throw back photo for Fathers Day.... 

Our boys were about 5 & 9 here. They've had the advantage of having the bestest fishing guide for a daddy!! He's also a great hunter, loving father, wonderful provider & awesome protector!! It to mention the best husband a woman could ask for. Happy Fathers Day to my gift from heaven!!

Ice Cream Pie/Cake

This dessert is so easy to make. You'll definitely want to make this for your get togethers this summer. All you need is a package of Oreos (crushed & mixed with 1/4 c melted butter)

Press 1/2 of crumbs into a 9x13" pan. Spread softened ice cream (your choice of flavor) on the crumbs. Press down then top with rest of crumbs. Freeze. Take out 15-20 mins before serving. Great summer dessert!

Brown & Orange Masculine Bday

Who'd have thot that brown & orange would look so delightful together?

Fairly simple card but nice clean lines.

I think it's a great card to give to any guy on his special day!!

Birdhouses

Oh my I love this card!!! 

So fun to make bird houses out of squares & corners! 

I also embossed the background with clouds (love that folder!) and all the "wood" items with the Woodgrain folder.

Isn't it cute?!?

Purple Swirl

This card is a great example of the difference you can make with DSP's!!

I originally  saw this in blues & browns. Although it was super cute I wanted to use purple so I looked thru my DSPs and found this gorgeous purple print & used it instead! I LOVE the way it turned out & I know "The Purple Lady" at class will too!!

Baby Whale

Welcome baby with this cute little whale!

Or.... Change up the DSP and greeting & make it a birthday card instead! The whale is stamped on a 2 1/2" circle punch. The green strip behind is 3/4" wide & I flagged the ends. Cute & soooo simple!!
