Mojo Monday/MOJO37-Happy Birthday Hon

Hello and welcome, I cannot believe we are so close to the end of another year....WOW...where does the time go? My dh has a birthday this week and we call each other "hon"...hence the titale, this is his birthday card. He has come to expect a little bling/shimmer for his birthday...teehehehe. I did try to make it masculine, I kept the shimmer low key. I have used one of my all time favorite birthday sentiments, it is the Verve Plain Jane; it is a little larger....perfect for the front of a card. I hope you have a super week, enjoy each moment; they seem to go so fast....sparkle & shine!

Happy Birthday

I so luv the sweet inspiration photo from Cure For The Monday Blues, I do not need anymore Christmas cards; so I created a birthday card. I used a piece of designer paper of the world map, it was inspired by the "not a creature was stirring" statement. I went with kraft, whites, and texture. I discovered the NEW challenge called Show CASe Your Style, wow, what great challenges they are bringing....this weeks is a sketch! I have used lots of great stuff from the Simon Says Stamp Store, click on the links below to check'em out....sparkle & shine!

To/From Tags

I have used the Retro Sketch for the sweet tags, I also played along with a couple of SCS challenges; today's IC and yesterday Ways To Use It. I have used the MFT Tag Builder Blueprints 2, so sweet! I used a chevron stencil from Memory Box and left the embossing paste "chunky"...I luv the depth it gives when it is textured. Hope you are creating something fun today....sparkle & shine!
