Happy Birthday!

Happy Birthday to my dear friend Cindy!  Welcome to the club, friend.  This one is for you.  (You can have the copy when I see you next!)  Celebrate Big.

Playing with my Elements of Style clear mount set.  What fun.  The pearls are from the Pretties Kit, attached with glue dots.  Guess what?  All you bling fans rejoice because the new half-pearls in the Stampin' Up! Idea Book and Catalog (available July 1) are self-stick.  There are also some glitter ones, as well.  Can't wait.

Happy Birthday!

Today is my daughter's 12th Birthday, so here's a card inspired by her love of cooking, fireworks, purple, orange and green.  This is one of the sets that is retiring.  Such sadness!  The fireworks, however, are here all summer as part of the new July Fourth set.  I have this set as a clear mount and I can't say enough good things about how much space these stamp sets are saving me.  I really like them.  Time for the recipe:
