Okay, I have to get more creative with my post titles. If anyone has any ideas or suggestions for me I would love to hear them. :) In the mean time I have a very simple card, a digital page and free word art to share with anyone who would like it.
I made my card using the PPA84-Inspirational -Easter Challenge/Spring-And Blog Candy. Oh my I messed up a bit with this challenge. I decided to use some of the colors on the straw hat that is pictured. I should have used my Easter stamps ! Oh well I just realized it so I will share what I think is a spring looking card. As you will see it is a very simple card.
Stamp Sets: Build A Blossom and Bring On The Cake (Sentiment). Inks:Pear Pizzazz and Peach Parfait. Card-Stock:Peach Parfait, Daffodil Delight,and Pear Pizzazz. I used a fabric brad from the sweet Stitches collection and a Pear pizzazz ribbon. I used the Blossom Petals punch. All products used are form Stampin'UP! As you can see it it is a quick and easy card to make.
Here is my page.
I made this page for a challenge at Soul Scrappers. There are some awesome challenges every week. I try to participate in as many as I possibly can. I love that it helps to keep me on track with my digital scrapping. I used the MDS program to make my page and I made the word art for my title. If you would like to see the page larger please double click on it. :)
Here is my latest Word Art freebie. If you would like it for your photos or for a digital or scrap page please click here to download it. If you have any trouble downloading it please let me know. Also please remember that this is for your personal use only. Enjoy!
On a more personal note...... I am having a very special birthday this Saturday and I am quite excited about it. Wayne and I will be going out for the day and then out to dinner. Although I am not suppose to eat or drink anything dairy I intend to break that rule for one day. I will be indulging in cake and eating Italian food. :) On Sunday my daughter and 2 of my granddaughters will be coming up to see me and I am very excited about that too! All of the other children are busy on "My" birthday but I'm sure that I will see them at some point. Anyway, next week I will have photos to share and what ever else I have the chance to make.
I hope that you have a fantastic week ahead. Just think, spring is right around te corner. :) Stay warm, stay safe and Smile every chance you get. :) Thank you so much for stopping by.
Hope you have a wonderful birthday!!!!!

Happy early Birthday! Sounds like a fabulous day/weekend for such a special pretty lady.
Me on the other hand, am stuck going to a surprise 50th bday party for my sisterinlaw whose bday is the 20th. Needless to say, I'm not too happy having to spend my birthday celebrating her. Oh well, at least it's free booze!
