I have several cards that I need to make… I had a really special birthday and I have some people to thank!… this is the first of my thank you cards…. I won’t mention who its for so maybe they will be a bit surprised when it arrives!… I got to try out my new Sugar and Spice cartridge on this card… and the tags feature on the Once Upon a Princess is priceless… that cartridge is now my go to when I need a place to put text!!… if you haven’t noticed it has a tag feature…then you hit sift and these two pieced work together to make a beautiful tag… I duplicated the circle that was the center of this cut and tapped the circle on my Gypsy, the one that makes images larger, a couple of times so I could add a little more color. I sure hope that you like this… I hope that my sweet friend… oops I almost said it… likes it too….

This is a second birthday card I made for my daughter... I sent her to my blog and she saw her other card before she opened it... she sent me an email that she needed another one so she would feel loved... I love her so much that I though she was teasing me... she wasn't.... when I truly got that she had felt so unloved I rushed to get her another one in the mail... I hope this makes up for my unintended mistake and that she can find it in her hear to forgive me.  This is a simple card to make... I didn't do it simple because I was in a hurry ... It ended up simple because I loved this butterfly so much and I thought this was the best way to accent it... the flowers came from my dear friend Sandy...she sent me a goodies box for my birthday yesterday!!..thank you so much Sandy... Madison if you read this... I love you very much!!....

This is my BBTB2 DT card for this week… we were to use the owl on Storybook… and I have been playing with my Cri-Kits pens A LOT lately…this is what I came up with… it was one of those cards that I wasn’t sure I liked when I first finished it…and looked at it the next morning and went “wow! I think I really like this one!”… I hope that you like it too… its going to the CHA Show with the folks at Cri-Kits… they liked it… thank goodness!!… I didn’t have time to do a video on this card… If you watch the video on Café Anniversary (see right side of my blog) it will explain how to do the pens on layers. I hope everybody has a wonderful day!… be sure and check out all the other wonderful cards over at BBTB2. Hugs!
