Happy Birthday to You

This weekend, we're celebrating my scrubby's birthday...Happy Birthday honey!! ♥  My MIL came for his birthday and we went to the San Diego Zoo.  Scrubby's been wanting to go ever since he moved down from the bay area. It was a great day..had so much fun! 

This stamp was perfect for the card...reminds me of our pet babies{Scooby & Clementine}. The image originally has a mouse sitting on top of the cat, but I didn't stamp him.

a little birdie told me....

this was for a dear friend of mine....Happy Birthday R.!  I love Die Cuts With A View pattern paper.  They have come out with some great paper stacks!  This stack is so summery & so cheerful.  It makes you smile. Ü

 I took white seam binding and dyed it with glimmer mist to match the pattern paper.  Then pleated it across the card with sticky tape.  I adhered the center of the greeting with foam tape to give it some dimension.  And the ends I taped flat on the card.

paper: whisper white; lemon flower paper stack{DCWV}

Every Day To Remember

This is my first sketch for The Color Room.  I love their sketches and color palettes...can't wait to create a layout.  Here is this week's palette & sketch:

These monochromatic colors are so different from what I normally use...this is why I love The Color Room!  It's a great challenge for me to think outside my "comfort zone" of colors.  Well, here goes....

I decided to create a 5x5 card using The Color Room card sketch:

This card was fun to create!  I used Bazzill's monochromatic scrap pack cardstock for the color palette.  The edges were distressed with my distressing tool and distress inks.  I took some white seam binding ribbon and dyed it with some Glimmer Mist.  The flower is handmade using Prima flowers.  I added Stickles for some sparkle.  For the pearl flourish, I took my Copic marker and colored the white pearls.
