Birthday Easel Card

Another challenge complete. This week Celebrate the Occasion, challenged their followers to create a Birthday Easel card. Although this technique has been out for awhile, this is my very first time doing it. I was instantly hooked! I created 2 more following this one.

Reason to Celebrate!!

Hello friends and family!!! I was hoping to get some crafting finished over the weekend but.... Today is my BIRTHDAY!!! I spent all Friday running around in order to prepare for my get together on Saturday. Sunday, the family and I were invited to a friend's house for dinner. Today, I've been home all day watching movies. DVR is a beautiful thing because I never get to watch movies on a regular basis.

I was hoping to do a RAK today (my 1st blog ever), but I never made it back to the store in time to pick it up. But, I'd love to still know what is your favorite birthday memory? Stay tuned for a possible RAK later this week. This year I was able to spend time with a great group of a ladies, over Sunshine and Seafood!!! Yummy crabs and fried fish. LOL!!

Birthday Cards

March is a busy Birthday Month!!! So, let's continue in the celebration.

I want to start getting in on some challenges, so I decided to try this one from Celebrate The Occasion. The card had to be green and white, with one other color. I love green and blue together.

What I used:
Nestabilities (scalloped circle)
CM Wavy Cutter
Cuttlebug Swirls Folder

Who doesn't want cake and ice cream for their birthday? This is for one of the kids' friend.

Happy Birthday Ms. Karen!!!!

My girlfriend Karen was a HUGE, Michael Jackson fan. The minute I saw this cutfile, courtesy of Craftin' Curt, I knew what to do. May this Birthday, knock you off your feet!
