This is a fun week in our house! My birthday was on Monday. It was a nice relaxing day (though I worked) capped off with dinner at one of my favorite restaurants. But, the big event comes on Saturday. Ryan will be 8! I'm bringing cupcakes to school on Friday and then we have the birthday party. So, I'm busy preparing for that! On Saturday morning we have scouts, and he wants some cake pops for that. Yes, it's been busy, but fun! He's so excited about his big day. That's the difference between us. I dread turning another year older. Now that I'm 46 I'm on the downslide to 50! Yikes!
Anyway, just wanted to share this page with you. It's one of my favorites that I've done lately. I used a mix of Webster's lines - Ladies and Gents, Country Estate and Wonderfall.
I created the flowers doing a fun technique. I cut strips of trim and adhered them to cardstock. Then I ran them through my die cut machine, cutting two flower sized shapes. I adhered the smaller one to the larger one.
Can't wait to make these again!
Anyway, the new challenges are up at Inspire Me. The traditional challenge this month is to 'Use Your Trims'. You can find the details HERE. And the digital/hybrid challenge is to use the digital fabric tickets. Info. for that one is HERE.
Thanks for stopping by! Have a great day!
