Let's Party

Here's a quick and easy card made with my Birthday Wishes set from i {heart} papers. Since its a birthday card I went for the bold and bright colors. I really wanted to layer the elephant image but didn't have a large oval die. I need to get a set of them soon because I'm starting to like the oval shape. Those fabulous papers are from Sassafras Lass and My Minds Eye. Two of my favorites.

Release Day

Today is the day when you can order Birthday Wishes from i {heart} papers. I'll be posting some new projects made with this set very soon. I just need to buckle down and start snapping pictures. Luckily I've been working on my Christmas cards and should be half done with them by the end of the week. I'm trying really hard to get them done early this year.

Penguin Christmas

Just thought I'd post a card that I made a long time ago that I don't believe I posted yet. The image is from Shirleys 2 Girls and is called Penguin with Sign SG H21. I think he's adorable and the great thing is that he's a breeze to color.

Remember to go to this post and leave a comment before midnight on November 14th to be eligible for the All About Christmas Mega Set that I am giving away from The Cutting Cafe.
