BFF Birthday "Card"

My bestie is turning 40 (so am I BTW) and I wanted to make her something special. I wanted to make a mini album of sorts but found that I didn't havs as many pics of us together as I'd hoped for. UGH!! Need to do something about that! Anyway... I decided Heidi Swapp Memory Files would work perfectly for this!!! I LOVE Heidi Swapp! These mini files are perfect for the card I decided to create for Nikki.

 

 

 

We've known each other for 38 years now and have been inseparable since we're were 2!! So I wanted to make something special. I had some photos of us as kids but not many as adults so I grabbed what I had and went to town!! The cover is of us at our 20 year high school class reunion. It worked great for the cover of the card. I used the Sugar Chic paper pack and banners as well as some washi, enamel dots, and sequence.

 

 

 On the inside, I splattered the Mustard Color Shine. Loved how that turned out.

I learned how to make this interactive scrapbook page from Create To Remember on My Craft Channel. Heidi shows how to add more photos to a page easily and creatively. I love this!!!

I added lots of embellishments to this and just had a blast with it. I can't wait to give it to Nikki.

Thanx for stopping by and have a great day!!!

Can You Feel The Spring?!?!?!

Not sure about where you are at but here in the Pacific Northwest it's been beautiful today!!! Sunshine and no rain makes for a great day!

 

I have never been a card maker so this was a fun and exciting experience for me. I got challanged recently to make some cards and hit it full force. Not really sure why I have never made cards, maybe I thought I wouldn't use them but after making these and having so much fun doing so, I think I might just make some more :) Fun Times!!

 

This was the first one I made and I went a little nuts. Those felt flowers were so much fun to make and I had paper to match from the Basic Grey Euphoria paper pad so I went to town!! Stamped the Thank You with the Alphabets stamp set from Stampin Up. Added a doilie and some enamel dots from Theresa Collins.

 

 

 

 

 

This one I used the Cosmo Crickt Toghether paper pack. Fun paper to work with. I used the Spring stamp set from Stampin Up for the quote. Added twine and there you go.

 

I really had fun making these cards and I think I caught the bug :) Might have to make some more tonight!!

 

Thanx so much for stopping by and have a great day!!!
