More Birthday Wishes

Not gonna lie ... it's been GREAT this week to have projects that were made a few weeks back that I can share with you. What with trying to get back into the schedule of work (and having to work EXTRA for the days I took off for girls camp AND Convention!), having these samples all ready to go has made my life SO much easier!

I was SUPER ecstatic last year when the "Tape It" stamp set showed up ... even though I KNOEW it requires me to "fussy cut" it when I use it (well, it's not REQUIRED, but I LOVE fussy cutting, so it gives me an excuse!)! The new sweet little heart punch that comes in the Itty Bitty Accents Punch Pack is so ADORABLE! You'd think that hearts couldn't look THAT differently from one another, wouldn't' ya???

Stamps: Tape It, Something to Say, Dictionary
Paper: Crumb Cake, Whisper White, Blackberry Bliss, Lost Lagoon, Hello Honey
Ink:  Blackberry Bliss, Lost Lagoon, Hello Honey

And here is me ... playing with my Blendabilities markers once again ... and being kinda all monochromatic about it! I used my Whisper White ink and embossing powder to create the flowers, then I used the mighty-fine Blendabilities to color them in. Something about coloring is so therapeutic and relaxing ... goes back to my childhood days, I guess!

I'm heading off around lunch time to have lunch with my lovely and wonderful fellow Stampin' Up demonstrator friend, Julie Davidse ... she just moved here from Las Vegas last month and I am SOOO happy to have another "partner in crime" to hang out with!! YAY!!
