Birthday Flower Garden!
Oh my word I am so done with being sick! For close to a month I have only been doing the bare minimum around here, and sleeping a crazy lot. Crafting is not on that list. Keeping the rest of the house healthy IS. I did have a few good days over my birthday thank goodness, and then right back to maybe worse than before. But I THINK I'm through it now and hey look- I got a birthday card made! I only need four more to catch up for this month.... yikes.
I think I can... I think I can...
For this card I combined the sketch from Freshly Made Sketches and the latest colors from Hand Stamped Sentiments, and this is my result! Bit chaotic, but I think these colors are perfect for the birthday girl!
Stamps: Sending Smiles
Ink: Coastal Cabana, Crushed Curry, Flirty Flamingo
Paper: Flirty Flamingo, Coastal Cabana, Basic White card stocks
Accessories: White Baker's Twine, Timeworn Type embossing folder, Circle dies, Dimensionals

Sale-A-Bration Scrapping!
Sometimes life is just so busy, and Sale-A-Bration goes by so quickly, that we don't always get to play with the things while they're current!
That and I was sick for over a week...blah!
But this past weekend included my birthday, and the TWENTY year anniversary of me becoming a demonstrator (nope, cannot believe that!!), so I played with some new paper and scrapbooked, which is my favorite!
Supplies:
And yes, I know which photo is "missing" from my daughter's layout- it is already in her scrapbook, as part of things she shared on a school poster, back when the photos were current, haha!

Postage Thank You!
I'm back with more of that Detailed Dogwood stamp set, (because we're even closer to the end of Sale-A-Bration 2024) but this time I chopped it up with postage stamps! I used the colors from Color Throwdown for this one and it's already gone out in the mail!
Stamps: Detailed Dogwood (Sale-A-Bration), Perennial Postage
I did scoot the cut paper in the die, to trim off one of the edges from the top larger rectangle, to make it fit better in this grid. It's not perfect, but I like it anyway.

Floral Birthday
This is my favorite of the Sale-A-Bration exclusives this year- making this card perfect for the latest TGIF Challenge. It is also a gorgeous floral, making it perfect for the SUO Challenge, ha! And the colors make it perfect for a special person's birthday card! Maybe you can see the dragonflies stamped in Blackberry ink on the Blackberry card base? It is dark and trying to storm today so taking a decent picture was a trick.
Ink: Memento Black, Blackberry Bliss
Stampin' Blends: Bronze, Dark Daffodil Delight, Light & Dark Blackberry Bliss, Light & Dark Old Olive
Paper: Blackberry Bliss, Early Espresso, Basic White
Accessories: Real Red & Burlap Ribbon Combo, Glue Dots

Paper Pumpkin Scrapping!
Clearly, I've spent some time lately trying to use up Paper Pumpkin kits!
This was the same kit I posted about HERE on Jan 8, and I still have the leaf stickers and the little flower die cuts... so I made a couple scrapbook pages with it!

Another Paper Pumpkin!
This kit is unique in that each card is a window card on the front, and the rest of the scene is inside the card. They're super cute cards but to be totally honest, I don't love that it leaves NO room to write a message....I ended up flipping it over and writing it on the back, so do that before you add rain drops!
I did make two of this rainbow card ages ago, but I cut off the front frame/window parts. I made both of these last year:
Of these, the center was made as designed, the others left off the epoxy rain drop stickers... and also these use stamped greetings from other sets, rather than the kit.
And of these, the first is made as designed. The other two, I left off the green hill, and the third I put a duck instead of a bunny, because I'd used the bunny on the card last year. And again the third used a different stamped greeting.
And here's what is left over for whatever else I decide! Paper Pumpkin kits really are worth their price, and come with a stamp set and ink you can use for endless projects! And if you sign up now, you can earn FREE Sale-A-Bration items with a prepaid 3,6 or 12 month purchase!

Visit Santa!
Happy Monday!
Back to that theme of holiday order, haha, here are two different years that this kiddo got to visit Santa. I used a lot of green that past week which was not really intentional. But in both of these cases it does match the DP I chose!
