Happy Birthday to My CTMH Upline!

Using the tea bag holder tutorial here, I created a special birthday card for my CTMH upline, Deb Butler, director of the Scrapping Buckeye Babes!

Happy birthday to you, Deb, if you're blog visiting! You're the BEST! Enjoy a cuppa tea with a friend.

I used all Close To My Heart products:
CTMH Wings paper packet, sweet leaf ribbon, Vineyard Berry ink (inside "happy birthday" sentiment, sparkles, licorice opaque pearls, Liquid Glass, Prisma Glitter, Find Your Style butterfly stamp. I stamped two butterflies to give dimension. I stamped each on the top and bottom of the cardstock, so that the gorgeous stamp design would show on their under-wings. Two sides are stamped in Juniper (those face each other), one in Sweet Leaf, and the top is rock-'n'-roll stamped in Vineyard Berry and Sweet Leaf. (The inside section holding two tea bags is made with the Vineyard Berry jaquard design that matches the front horizontal paper strip behind the punched circles.)

Thanks for visiting my blog! Come back soon!

Seize the Day

I'm on a "clear acrylic card" roll.

The inside sentiment, "Seize the Day," is hidden behind the front sentiment, "The Present" stamped verse.

It seems I can never get a card stash established ... as soon as a card is created, boom! It's in the mail! Oh, the joy of sharing!

So glad I created some scheduled posts since my severe dry eyes and allergies are giving me FITS.

Hope your day is full of blessings! Thanks for stopping by and leaving some love!
