Happy Birthday.....

Here's Amy's sketch this week, #40, from her blog Prairie Paper and Ink.
I have been having so much fun participating in these! It really gets the ideas going.



I had a mission to make a card for my husband, who's a firefighter / paramedic, for his birthday this Thursday. I have used my fire fighter stamps alot for him, so I chose to use some Jolee's Boutique stickers that I had on hand. He works so hard to provide for our family, and he prides himself on doing a fantastic job. Almost every day he has an interesting story to tell when he gets home.

This is one small way that I can show him how much I appreciate him and all that he does, because I just don't think I tell him enough.

Supplies: Fire truck & hydrant: Jolee's Boutique; all paper is from scraps, all remainder from Close to My Heart: Ink - Brown Bag and Black; Stamp: Say it in Style; Ribbon.

Thanks for visiting!

Happy Belated!

Okay, so I can honestly say that with working full-time and having a family, I'm pretty busy, but, that doesn't mean that I can recognize a special friend's birthday. It was actually last Thursday, but we were busy getting to Montana for Black Friday! I am so very lucky to have her for a friend. She is an incredibly thoughtful and kind person. This card is my take on Amy's sketch this week from her blog, Prairie Paper and Ink, found HERE.


This is Amy's Sketch#39, and I found it a little difficult! Not a design that I would ordinarily use, but I think it turned out okay. Just love that little snail!

I used Lynn's paper piecing idea from her blog The Queen's Scene. Just love her great ideas! You should really check it out!


My blogging friend Hilary is a talented scrapbooker and a firefighter / paramedic. Check out her terrific projects as well as read her story about her harrowing and rewarding Thanksgiving. I'm so proud of the work our emergency services workers do every day.

Supplies: Stamp set - Inkadinkado; Patterned paper - Provo Craft; bee punch & gold brads - EK Success; BIC Markers; all others are Close to My Heart (ribbon, flowers, prisma glitter, silver brads, textured cardstock, black ink).

Thanks for stopping by!
