MORE BIRTHDAY CARDS FOR SOLDIERS

Happy Easter sweet friends! We have a rainy Easter and all I can think of is a nap!!!

I did have some nice crafting time yesterday and want to share these two birthday cards that will go to deployed soldiers.

I used the Freshly Made Sketches sketch for this card. Instead of the scallops along the horizontal panel, I decided to use stars.

I cased a card on Pinterest for this one. I changed the paper and sentiment and added the star.

Before I tell you goodbye for now, I want to ask a huge favor. I started a petition to bring our ONLY POW home. His name is Sgt. Bowe Bergdahl. The petition is located here and if you missed my post about him you can read it here.

HAPPY FIRST BIRTHDAY

And happy SATURDAY to my awesome crafty friends! The weather is gorrrrgeous here today and I am so happy to see it. Just had a nice walk with my little Joy and getting ready to take her for grooming. That means CRAFTY TIME this afternoon!! Woohoo!

OK, want to post this quickly before I leave. This is my Mojo Monday card for this week. It is round or square week, so I chose square.

I was asked to make a special 1st birthday card and this is my first attempt. I’m not sure it is special enough, so I am going to make another. I do love the darling paper from Wild Rose Studio called Anabelle’s Garden. It has lots of great girly papers in it!

YOU’RE 50 AND “SENT-SATIONAL”`

Happy Good Friday dear friends and a Happy Vietnam Veterans’ Day to all vets past, present and future, but especially our dear Vietnam Veterans who endured so much!
My card today was made using the Operation Write Home sketch for this week but turned it on it’s side. Here it is:

My crazy sister has an alter ego that is just hysterical. When she is in her costume and fully consumed by her creation, it is a total hoot. Well, her alter ego (Lida Mae Thatchat LOL) has a FB page and I noticed her “birthday” is on April Fools day, and she will be 50. So….what else could I do but make Lida Mae a birthday card. I hope she enjoys it! And I hope you did too.

Here is a close up of the image. I combined images from different stamp sets from Doodle pantry to come up with this and added the little wiggly eyes. What do you think? I listed the stamp sets below.
