Birthday bonanza...

Because I don't already have enough birthday cards in my stash **chuckle chortle **
I saw this first one on one of my many blog treks so forgive me for not acknowledging source at this stage but after a little wee purchase of MFT goodies, I had to CASE...

These next cards are based on the birthday card I received from Stampin' Up earlier in the year - a simple but great way to showcase in-colours!  The second one was born from stamping the sentiment upside-down!

 And finally a couple of cards using the Sale-A-Bration dsp (now sadly ended) - I wasn't too keen on the papers at first.... yet now wish I'd stocked up on lots more!

Thanks for looking!

Coffee lover birthday card...

My eldest girl's teacher recently had a significant birthday.  Each morning as the girls and I arrive at school, we always see this lovely teacher with a couple of colleagues making their daily pilgrimage to or from the local coffee shop!

Hence this caffeine inspired creation...

All SU product with the gorgeous but sadly retired Sale-A-Bration dsp.
stamp: Morning Cup
ink: Early Expresso, Lucky Limeade
cardstock: very vanilla, early expresso, calypso coral
other: very vanilla seam binding, antique brad, lucky limeade and calypso coral ribbon, tags punch (small and large)

Whatta lotta love in the room!

I cannot believe it is Easter already?  Where has 2012 gone?  Doesn't help that I'm still writing 2011 as the date... I am turning into my grandmother!!

So here's a few shares from Valentines Day ... with a little pledge to make sure I update my blog more often!
