Birthday

More cool gifts!

Here are some more neat gifts that I received….these are from my friend (and downline) Sandy Alexander. She knows my favorite chocolates are those Ghirardelli ones filled with caramel so each gift item was filled with them!! Who wouldn’t love that?? The one on the far right is a purse made out of a lunch bag. It is hard to tell from the picture.

Awesome birthday gifts!

I just had to share some of the handstamped gifts I received for my birthday. I have some super awesome (and very talented) friends. These were all made by my friend Lorrie Reid (also a SU demonstrator).  I loved the tin and it was filled with cards! What an awesome gift!!  I will be posting more pictures this weekend. SHe also gave me the little jar filled with Hershey’s kisses. Both were made with that gorgeous Haiku paper.

More birthday cards!

My good friend Angie Oakes sent me this birthday card all the way from Japan. I love how she made the vase from the large oval punch. What a cute idea!  Angie is actually the one who  got me hooked on stamping about 8 years ago! Then I signed up to be a demonstrator and several years later I talked her into signing up under me!

This one was sent to me from my good friend (and convention roomie) Terri Mongeon. You might know her from that fabulous presentation she did with Jaron Winder at Convention. She is so much fun and I love this card and stamp set!

Another awesome bday card!

Here is another awesome bday card I received. It is hard to tell from the picture, but it is an accordion fold card and the flowers pop out when you open it. THis one was made by another one of my talented downline , Elizabeth Velazquez.. Great job Elizabeth!

Check out this card!

My birthday was Saturday and one of my downline (and good friend) Sue Bjorgaard made me this incredible card! Check it out. I got several more really nice ones from my downline and customers so I will post more this week.

Think Spring!

We are having a really dreary, chilly, just plain yucky day here so I wanted to post a card that made me think of warm sunny weather.  THis is one of my favorite cards that I made a while back. It is the Pretty Peony set and the En Francais background stamp. You can’t see the glitter on the flower in the scan…it looks a lot better in person. I hope you like it though.

It’s Lisa’s Birthday!!!

Hey everyone…. it’s Lisa’s Birthday on Saturday.  She loves her Birthday and all her stampin’ buddies! 

Everyone wish Lisa a great big Happy Birthday!   

I love you honey.  I hope you have a great birthday. 

                             Your loving Husband

(note from Lisa….My sneaky husband posted this with help from my friend Kimberly whose card is shown here)

Isn’t this cute?

Isn’t this card adorable? I am making some of these for some friends of mine and thought I would share with you also. I made the purse using the Big Shot Top note die and the beautiful Bella Rosa paper. I also used the Bella Toile background stamp on the Riding Hood red cardstock. Look for this card in one of my upcoming classes. I hope you all are having a fabulous weekend!
