Party Hearty Masucline Birthday Card

I found a card on Stampin' Connection by Michelle Blackburn and was inspired to make this one.  I love Bermuda Bay card stock and Thoroughly Modern Designer Series Paper together.  Sahara Sand and Close to Cocoa also go well with this and I used those along with Whisper White on this card.


I used a star brad from the Stylized Silver Hodgepodge kit.  The punches I used are My Way, large and small Star punches.  I used the My Way punch on the end of the Close to Cocoa strip to add another detail.  I love how it turned out.  Hope my brother-in-law likes it as well! Have a wonderful day!

Road Work 12 x 12 Scrapbook Page MDS

Click on photo to see larger view

My Digital Studio is so easy to work with.  It took me about 15 minutes to make this page.  Sorry I haven't been posting regularly.  I have been working on a swap for VC Rocks and have not been feeling well. 

Wednesday at our home in SC, DOT was working on the road in front of our trailer.  It is very close to the road and the windows and walls in this trailer are very old.  Hence most noise from outside are loud in here.  All day I heard the sounds of machines and workers.  LOL

Below is the journaling if you can't read it.

May 19th, 2010 started out as a lovely quiet day. Didn't last long. All day a loud roar, clangs, rumblings, and other sounds were heard. I am thankful that I can hear though and that our road is a little better.

When I went out to pick up Russell from work this afternoon, I found this machine parked directly in front of my driveway. I had to drive on my neighbor's grass to pull out. LOL SC DOT at its finest!

Now for my Baby Girl Bib card share!
You can click on the photos to see a larger view.




I decided to opt for a little older girlie look for this bib.  Maybe she could wear this to cover her Sunday Best!
For this card I used the Cottage Wall Designer Series paper (Item# 115671).  Order quickly if you want this paper.  It will go on the Retiring list and possibly sell out before the end of June.  I used the 5 Petal Punch (Item# 109041).  Punch two flowers out of Pale Plum, Sponge edges.  I used the Boho Blossom Punch (Item# 110711) to punch a flower out of the DSP. The leaves are punched from Certainly Celery with a Sizzlits 4 Pack Die called Stampin' Up! Birds and Blooms (Item # 113485). Pierce holes where you want the button to go. I used crochet thread to attach the buttons.  The ribbon is gathered behind the button and between the thread.
You can see how I made the card base on the post here.

Have a great Stampin' Day!
