Birthday Cards and Important Annoucement


 










Wow, wasn't the CTD100 blog hop awesome?  There where almost 400 people who submitted cards...and I had a whopping 314 comments on my CTD100 card....thank you to all who stopped by and commented.  I am truly touched by your comments and kind words...thanks you so much!  You will want to check back on my blog this Friday morning 5:00 am EST to see who has won the Verve loot...whoot, whoot!(this is the important announcement)  I have also revamped my Etsy store, Paperie Blooms if you would like to take a look.  I will be adding more goodies this week.  Also, excuse my blog, it is a bit of a mess; I cannot wait to share the new look!
I have a couple of cards to share, the first one is for two sketch challenges, they are so similar in layout I only made one card.  The layout on the left is from Cortney's Blog Practicing Creativity, she is giving away $50 worth of her stamps..check it out.  The sketch on the right is from Makeesha Inkspiration Challenge.
I used the flower from the Ippity set Now & Always and papers from Cosmo Cricket Quite Contrary. I added stitching and the gorgeous embossing folder from SU.

Stamps:  Big Wish(Verve) and Now & Always(Ippity) 
Paper:  French Vanilla(Bazzil), Quite Contrary(Cosmo Cricket)
Ink:  Bermuda Bay and Rose Red(SU)
Accessories:  SU Embossing Folder, Janome, Button, Linen Thread, and 3D Foam Squares














I made this card for today's CC279 and for Karen's Sweet Sunday Sketch, SSSC77.  I made mine tall and skinny, 3 1/2 x 6.  I used the Ippity flower again and added book page leaves.  The sentiment is from Verve's Big Wish.
I adore the red ribbon and the bakers twine in the button.  I hope you have a wonderful week...enjoy!
