Birthday Card for my neighbor

 Here it is a month again since I last posted 

Yikes!  Where does the time go?

I made the above card for someone who moved into my 

Neighborhood last year, and to add to my joy...

She has become one of our weekly crafting buddies.

I've been a bit under the weather...so I have not

done too much crafting, but I knew I had to try

and make a card for her.

This card was quick and easy and at least it has

gotten me back into card making again.

The stamp is from Julie Nutting,

I paper pieced it, and did some simple coloring

with copics.

Hubby bought me these lovely "Get Well" flowers...

and yes they did help to brighten my spirits.

Thank You for stopping by my blog...

Blessings,

Congratulations card for my Granddaughter

I had a difficult time photographing this card, because it's a Long card...

It's made using a Julie Nutting stamp (Natalie)  If you are familiar with these stamps you know that they are long and narrow stamps.  I like these stamps they remind me of my childhood when I enjoyed playing with paper dolls  (Do children still do that these days?)    Maybe I'm going through my second childhood now?  LOL!

I paper pieced by my image using Graphic 45 paper (French Country)  The image was colored with copics by my hubby.  Added a bow and a stick on congratulations sticker  for my sentiment.

I wanted to make this for my granddaughter because she just completed hairdressing school.  I guess the next step is to take her state boards for her license.   Her Grandfather and I are very proud of what she has achieved...because school never came easy to her.  She managed to finish hairdressing school,..  having a long comute to get to school, and working two part time jobs to help pay for her schooling.

I made this card for my granddaughter's birthday, I didn't give it to her yet, her birthday isn't till next week...but I feel safe posting it, because she doesn't look at my blog.   Probably too boring for a teenager...smile.

The card was made by rubber stamping an image by Julie Nutting, I like these prima doll stamps.  I just had to buy one at the stamp show that I attended in March.  It's a big stamp and most people use them for tags.  I thought it would make a great card for a teenage girl.  Hubby colored the image for me with copics, and I paper pieced the dress using designer paper from Stampin' Up and the background paper is from Darice.  I added a bow, a stick on bead, and a flower for her hair.  The sentiment on the front is computer generated, and the sentiment inside was stamped using one of my favorite stamp sets by JustRite stamps..."Just the Right Words."
