A Belated Birthday Card

I had a little time today to play along with the most recent Lawnscaping Challenge!  It's all about birthdays this time around and I can always use more birthday cards!  I decided to create a simple card that could be used for boys or girls and came up with this:

The papers are by Doodlebug Design- the Take Note collection.  I've used the 6x6 pad for this card.  The stamps are from the Year Two set- love that turtle!

I've colored the turtle with Copic markers.  His present is pieced from patterned paper.  Love how this part of the card turned out!  I wanted to keep it simple and not add twine or anything so I went with the epoxy dots instead, also by Doodlebug.

I'm so glad I got to play along with the challenge!  I need to make about 4 more birthday cards for January so maybe I'll get to add a few more here too! :)

Hope you are enjoying your Monday!

An Overdue Birthday Card

Hi there!  Today is a beautiful day here in Northern Virginia!  The sun is shining and it has had a wonderful impact on my mood- I'm feeling so good today!  I am inspired, too so hopefully I can get some creative time in before the girls get home from school.

I am one of those people who is always late sending birthday cards out!  Today's card is proof of this- hee!  Here it is:

I've used the Dewey Decimal set from Lawn Fawn and paired it with the pretty papers from Pebbles Seen & Noted line.  This stamp set is so clever!  I have a lot of friends who love to read so I should get lots of use out of it.

Well, I'm going to keep this post short and get started on the rest of my day!  Hope you have a great one, too!
