You Make me Smile and "hi" greeting Cards

Hi everyone - another post - I used up the last of my Prima Romance novel papers.  I ended up with one feminine layout, one masculine layout and 3 cards.  I was really happy with these cards.  I went to the Pagemaps website and used their March 2012 cardmaps for both of these cards.  In addition to the Prima papers, I used Heartfelt creations Aster stamp and die and Striped Sun Kissed Fleur stamp and die.  I also used my Close to my heart Cricut Artiste collection stamps for both of the greetings on these cards.  Black embossing powder, Paper Mania 5x7 clear stamp set "bunting", Sizzix embossing forlder "Bricked", Cuttlebug embossing folder "Goochie Script", EK Success Postage Stamp Punch, Spellbinders on the edge die "notebook", scrappers floss, glimmer mist in pearl for the flowers, spun sugar, worn Lipstick and aged mahogany distress markers for the flowers.  Hope you enjoy!

1st Birthday Invitations

Hi Everyone,

It has been quite some time since I have posted on my blog.  I have been really busy.  I spent 2 weeks in May in the US visiting my son and his family.  We spent 4 days at Lakeview Resort in the Ozarks and then back home and back to work!

I just had a co-worker ask me to do 6 Birthday invitations for her son for his first birthday.  Her only request was that they have a frog on them and have the color blue.  This is what I came up with:

The products I used were:

Spellbinders Nestabilities die "Fleur De lis Square for the frame around the frog.  I used a scalloped circle svg file from eabates.com for the medallion with the #1 on it.  The number one is a sizzlits die.  I also used the spellbinders "on the edge die for the back of the card that looks like paper torn from a notebook.  I used Technique Tuesdays "Handmade By" stamp on the back of the card.  I have the Cricut Artiste collection cartridge and stamp set and this is what I used to stamp and cut my banners.  The "RSVP" stamp is from Sullivan's Paper Xtra (I believe that is a Lincraft store brand because that is where I got it).  The Fritzy the Frog svg cut file comes from svgcuts.com but I created my own cut file for the cattails and the grass.  The flowers are from a Fiskars small 6 petal flower punch with quilled centers.  The dragon flies are Sullivans punches I also got at Lincraft.  

Hope you enjoyed!  Thanks for taking a look!
