Today is an exceptionally special day.
First and foremost, it’s my husbands birthday.
So, H A P P Y B I R T H D A Y E D !!!!
Secondly, I am so honored to have become a Design Team member for Create with Connie and Mary!!!! This is my first design team submission for them. Big, big smiles!
Getting right to it, here is their sketch for the week –
I was nervous before I knew what I’d work with. After all, it’s my husbands birthday. And, I always make everyone cards. And, I wanted to go by the sketch.
But, things fell right into place. See for yourself –
Wouldn’t you agree?
This was a bit tricky to photograph with the Silver Foil Paper. Even embossed, it still shined beautifully!
It has lots of dimension as you can see.
The words are from the stamp set Number of Years. They were curvy, but since they are the photopolymer, they straightened out pretty good. It fit nicely into the little banner.
Well, as you can see I’ve got some party festivities to attend too. We have a fun day of celebratin’ to do!
Although, I think I’m the one who got the big gift today! These are some real talented designers over at Create with Connie and Mary. Go check them out and play along with us! You’ll be hooked before you know it!
You know, it’s good ‘card carma’ to leave a comment before moving on!
