Happy Birthday

Hello and good day!!

We had a wonderful family weekend and enjoyed celebrating "family" and "love".  We don't typically celebrate Valentine's Day on ONE day of the year.  We try and make it an every day event but will create a family centered day once a week or sometimes every two weeks just to reconnect.  We are fortunate that we get at least 5 meals a week as a family and that is pretty good considering my husband is a shift worker.

Over the weekend my beautiful SIL Jenna celebrated a birthday.  This is the card I sent her!!  As it turns out I have 3 SILs who celebrate birthdays in February.

I was so happy to use Kim Hughes Birthday Buddies available through Paper Smooches





INSTRUCTIONS
  1. Create card bases and layers.
  2. Attach ribbon.
  3. Stamp image, colour and outline.  Stamp sentiment.

Paper Smooches Co-Hop

Have you heard?

Kim Hughes opened a stamp company on February 1st called Paper Smooches! On The first day of every month, she is releasing 3 new whimsical and fun clear stamp sets that she hand draws.

Kim asked me to create a card using one of her February stamp sets.  I used Birthday Buddies on today's card.






 She offers high quality photopolymer clear stamps, shaped card templates, a design center and so much more

There will be a monthly challenge on the The Paper Smooches Blog  (Free digi stamps are involved) Participants will be eligible to be a guest designer for the following month.
