Happy Birthday 2017

Hi everyone!  Here it is August already!  This past week, I celebrated my birthday.  It was a wonderful day spent with family, eating out, and visiting farm stands in Amish Country.  All in all, a good way to start a new month!  I was happy to receive some beautiful handmade cards from fellow crafting friends.

My card today was made for a fellow crafter's birthday, so I thought it would fit in for a birthday post.  Everything used has been in my stash for awhile.


The edges of the papers were inked and distressed.  I placed some foam strips between layers for depth.  Diecut doilies were also tucked in.  Under the crochet trim is a Memory Box Shrewsbury Stem diecut accented with tiny pearls.  A sentiment from Our Daily Bread Designs was stamped onto an ODBD label and tucked into the flower cluster with a hemp bow.


That's it for me today.  Yesterday was another busy day spent with friends that I haven't seen in awhile.  My husband and I just returned from a nice lunch out today and I am quite filled!  I think I'll take it easy for the rest of the day!   Thank you so much for stopping by and for your sweet comments.  I appreciate each and every one.  Have a wonderful week ahead!

  5. That's so lovely - the dimension is fantastic, and the colours work perfectly against the neutral layers of the background.
