Happy Birthday, Kimberly Anne!

Today is a memorable day, indeed!
It's my youngest's 28th birthday.
Makes me sad that her dad and I
 can't be with her today,
but we sent lots of love,
(and a few other things),
her way.  
Hope your day is the best ever,
Little Bunny.
We love you!

Not Your Mother's Clothespins!

Once again, I was inspired by 
Pinterest.
I used retired designer paper, 
(Bella Rose, my all-time favorite!),
I've been
keeping for just this kind of project.
Along with Basic Pearls, Rhinestones,
Dazzling Diamonds, buttons and ribbon,
I put together lots of really pretty
clips for my papers, or a cute little gift.
I added a magnet to several for a
refrigerator clip. 
Fun way to use up small scraps you hate to 
throw away.

Happy Birthday, Sweet Pea

My daughter, Megan, aka
Sweet Pea,
turned 30 on Mother's Day.
Steve and I were very lucky to be able to spend the
weekend with her and her husband, Brian.
We don't get to do that much anymore
since we've moved, so it was a very 
precious visit.  
Love you, Sweet Pea!
Happy, happy birthday.

Bordering on Romance

(Click photo for better view.)

I seem to be into pinks lately.....
Saw a version of this layout on Pinterest
and fell in love with the prettiness 
of it.  
The stamp set is called 
Bordering on Romance.
The center piece is made with the 
Textured Impressions Designer Frames.
Little Pearls accent the flowers in that frame.
Very romantic!

Eat Cake!

We have two members of the
Pieces of Heart Team
celebrating anniversaries
as demonstrators this month.
Judy Sumner on May 9th,
and Jayne Singleton, May 15th.
The inside of this card pops up
when you open it.
It's like I'm giving them cupcakes without the mess!
It uses the Create a Cupcake stamp set and
Cupcake Builder Punch.
HAPPY SU ANNIVERSARY, JUDY AND JAYNE!
You ladies have been lovely friends and 
a tremendous inspiration to me.

Happy Birthday, Kathy!

 I have a friend and 
fellow demonstrator,
Kathy Boxdorfer,
who loves all things lady bugs.
Whenever I see one, 
I think of her.  
So seeing this lady bug card,
I knew I had to make it for her birthday. 
It uses a Treat Cup in the center of the flower
with several loose, pearl-accented mini-flowers. 

Using the same designer paper, I made an envelope 
with our new
Diagonal Simply Scored.

HAPPY BIRTHDAY, KATHY!

Lace Ribbon Border

I never have been a big fan of the
Lace Ribbon Border Punch.....
until I saw this card made by 
Lee Conrey.
Why didn't I think of just lining them 
up and setting them off with
Pearls?  
Perfect for birthdays, weddings, or
Mother's Day!
This punch is on the retiring list,
so grab it while you can!

Best Dad Ever

Never too early to think of Father's Day!
The stamp set is called 
Best Dad Ever
and believe it or not,
it's NOT retiring!
I'm glad, because I love those ties.
The Designer Paper is called
Mocha Morning Specialty.
Very manly-man!
I copied the envelope example from the 
catalog, page 182.

Elegant Bouquet

This is another quick, pretty card, 
found on Pinterest,
with so many pretty elements.  
I added pearls to the flowers made from the
Elegant Bouquet Embossing Folder.
Along the edge the Eyelet Border Punch was
used to make it look lacy. 
Sincere Salutations is the stamp set used.
Sadly, retiring.

Retiring Baroque Motifs

One of my favorite stamp sets is retiring.
Baroque Motifs has such a pretty flourish
that I have used so many times.  
I saw this card on Pinterest using 
one of our die cut butterflies.
I thought it would make a beautiful
wedding card using a heart and
pulling the sides up to look like a butterfly.  
The texture underneath was made
using the Square Lattice Embossing Folder.
