Soft Summer Birthday

For some reason, I've been on a birthday card kick today. Must be because in May there are tons of family birthdays, and believe it or not, May starts tomorrow! Best be prepared. This uses the lovely dogwood from Soft Summer, in the Stampin' Up! Occasions Mini catalog. I was going for a different look. The card base actually is an old piece of Blush Blossom with a wacky dye-lot, so it's a bit too pink. Using the current Blush Blossom dye makes a big difference in the card. Another case of copy what I say, versus what I actually do! Enjoy.

Rainy Day Post

Here's a card we're going to do at the Sassy 6 meeting this month. It's versatile in that you can put "Happy Mother's Day" on the inside or any other "for you" related sentiment. This uses the new paper from the Occasions Mini catalog and it's coordinating colors. It's a good combination for elegant cards. Enjoy your day. Stay dry if you're getting the same rain we are.
