happy birthday.




Happy Friday!

So I've been inspired by a lot of trends out there, can you spot them on today's card?


The first is the white on vellum heat embossing...One of my favorite feathers, from Reverse Confetti, Peacock Pretties.  I made this pretty early in the morning yesterday and had to time the heat gun with the home heating system since everybody was still snoozing :)

The other trend is the corner curl/fold...I'm not sure who started this trend (perhaps Laurie?) but most recently I spotted Stephanie's card and was inspired.

The main panel is Pink Paislee/House of Three..LOVE it.  I'm not typically a navy blue kind of gal but love that design.  I'm actually contemplating buying a lot of them...25 12x12 sheets...haha, that should satisfy that 'need' for a smidge.


Here's the funny thing, I don't typically mix different manufacturer paper collections but this one has 3 (Pink Paislee/Basic Grey & Amy Butler).

The Reverse Confetti sentiment has been stamped on the scrap gray cardstock in Fresh Ink Navy.  The twine is Timeless Twine Graphite Gray..something that has been sadly neglected!

I was inspired by Lisa's

I have a ton of crafting I get to do this weekend AND I'm Christmas decorating!

How about you?
