Bugaboo Birthday

It's been awhile, but today I had some time to put together a birthday card for my office mate. Her husbands birthday is New Years Day and she wanted a "fun" card. I got this image from Bugaboo Stamps. I used my new Expression 2 for the swirl/flourish on the inside from the Cricut Essentials that was pre-loaded. I did the snowflake cut from Accent Essentials at 4 3/4.
the Marquee Oblong (center point cut) is from Elegant Edges.I sorta winged the sentiment, but wished I hit Italic for the suit inside the card and put up for dress up.. oh well :/ I like it anyhow. The bling are from recollections.
Thanks for looking ;)

The card is a 5X7

Mistletoe

I colored this with copics and the digi is from Clear Dollar Stamps. I had bought some handmade paper from Paper Source and decided to use this as a background for this stamp.

The glitter dots are from Recollections I picked up at Michaels in the clearance isle with 25% off too! wooohooo :)
I used a spellbinders die to cut the image after I colored and the other cardstock is from my stash.

Prayers

I found that I needed a sympathy card for the family of one of my daughters best friends. She lost her Gram on Friday after a very brief battle with ovarian cancer. I was fortunate to have met her this past 4th of July for a BBQ we went to. I am so glad I had that chance. She was a wonderful woman and will be missed.

Cutie Penguin Tags

I saw these adorable tags and how easy it is to make many at one time in a post by Sheila at She's A Sassy Lady. I just had to make a stash for myself or as a little gift for someone. Now I think I will do a few more so I have 3 sets of 6 :))), one of which is for me of course :))
