Vellum
90 balloons
I wanted to create a fun yet great card for a 90th birthday and the birthday gal likes frogs My favorite birthday image is from A Day for Daisies , has a frog floating holding 3 balloons.( i though about adding the birthday number while making the card i created Wednesday (see it). For this occasion the card needed 87 more balloons. I could have made a larger card to display all the balloons on the front but since the A2 is my favorite size, and i have A2 envelopes, I put the balloons on the front, back, and inside.
Stickles were applied to the frog so he sparkles. Happy 90th birthday Vera. See the inside below The challenge is Seize the birthday anything goes

Another day, another note( or whatever) card . This one was created with the sketch from CAS(e) This Sketch. The digi is from A Day for Daisies. I made several 3poppy cards and can easily put any sentiment i need……
cookie jar kid
Two challenges this morning the colors of Color Throwdown, the CASology cue Melt. Yes the melt is a stretch, but as the story goes in 1930, Ruth Wakefield was mixing a batch of cookies for her roadside Toll House Inn guests when she discovered that she was out of baker’s chocolate. She substituted broken pieces of Nestle’s semi-sweet chocolate, expecting it to melt and absorb into the dough to create chocolate cookies. That didn’t happen, but the surprising result helped to make Ruth Wakefield one of the 20th century’s most famous women inventors. When she removed the pan from the oven, Wakefield realized that she had accidentally invented “chocolate chip cookies.”
I put the recipe at the back of the cookie jar. the digital stamp is from A day for Daisies
Some bunny love tuesday
Here’s my entry for Tuesday Morning Sketches . The image is a ‘bunny love’ From the Heart digital stamp, the hearts cardstock is from Recollections. The heart jewels were from a bin at Joann’s. When I bought the paper ist was for Valentines day but since the the stamped heart is held by rabbit, i think this could be spring/Easter too.
dots and wirebirds
I was busy yesterday so here’s my Mojo Monday on a Tuesday. I have some printed polka dot cards i wanted to use and here’s the first.. it uses Washi tape which is the Less is More challenge… I’ll enter it there (but know this card is really busy to be called less.)
