Happy Birthday Card

Simple cards are a pleasure to make, give and receive.  This card could easily be made from scraps.  The buttons are a fun accessory... but any accessory would be fun on this card... eyelets, brads, or gems... 

Up for a challenge?  Try a different version of this card, using different colors and different accessories... and then share it with me:)  

Here's a fun and simple birthday card

Anchor's Away with Tommy!!!

In every new idea book, there are lots of paper packs, some are instant favorites, while others take a while to love.  After working with this paper pack,it has become one of my favorites.  This kit is quite versatile... Vacation, Fourth of July, Sailing, and Navy photos would work well with this kit.

Contact me for more information on this kit.

My version of WOTG.  Love the stars... thanks Janene Wawro for the inspiration. 

This one was inspired by Pam Thorn 

Amy White inspired this layout

Took this idea from the p 87 of the spring and summer idea book

Love the double flip flaps on this layout...
the top flap is 6x12 and 4x6's are used under the 6x12 flaps.

The Workshops on the go are a really a great value!  It includes a level two paper pack, additional paper, instructional brochures, an exclusive stamp set and embellishments. (The embellishments in this kit were the dimensional stars and the Tommy assortment.) Optional purchase was the Tommy Complement Canvas shapes.
