A card for my Hubby!

Hey Bleeps! I hope your week is going great so far! I had to make a quick birthday card for my hubby today!!!Can you believe a card maker wasn't prepared?

We will celebrate with either a buttermilk pie (Todd's fav) or some birthday brownies (he loves these too!)....I'll let him decide since he's the birthday boy, LOL!!! Thanks for stopping by and have a great day! ;)

Sweet Stampin' Challenge

Hey there Bleeps!!!
 Today I made this card for the Sweet Stampin' Challenge Blog! It was all about celebrations!!! So this is for a birthday and who doesn't like cupcakes to celebrate? I tried to make it seem as though the cupcakes were at a sweet shoppe or something....like for a display of a bakery window perhaps? Anyways, I'm not sure people 'get' that as I asked my family and none of them 'got' it......oh,well.....maybe next time I'll actually put window panes to get my point across, LOL!!! I hope you like it and thanks so much for stopping by! ;) Have a awesome weekend!!! We will....my daddy and step mom will be bringing my oldest son with them from TX....for over a week visit for Christmas!!! YAY!!! ;)

Ribbon Challenge

Hey Bleeps!
 I made a simple Christmas card this year...and it fit in with the challenge over at OWH, which is to use ribbon creatively. I guess it's not too creative....just a different way to attach your ribbon. I simply cut a slit through my crease on my card and slipped the ribbon through it. Then I tied a small piece of twine around it ( I did use some white glue to make sure it wouldn't slip off!).  Anyways, thanks for taking a peak and have a fabulous weekend! ;)
