Retro Birthday Wishes

HI everyone.  It been a rather wet weekend, so I guess it makes it perfect for some card making I needed to do for several more birthdays both past and present.  I am first posting the past birthday that I somehow forgot to get a card out to a girlfriend who was turning the big 50.  I was stumped on what to make her for this special birthday....... cute, funny, or ...... hmmm uncertain on what I wanted it to be.  I started going through some of my stamps and ran across one that kind of jumped right out at me...... almost a pick me, pick me  kind of thing.  lol.   The stamp of choice is the La La Land Retro Marci.  Yep, right then and there a plan came together and I went for it.  I stamped up the Retro Marci and started coloring away with the colored pencils.   While sitting back, relaxing and coloring away,  I gave some thoughts on what it was I wanted the sentiments to be on this belated card.  I decided on the inside of the card about this card being fashionably late.
So here is the finished card

I decided on a smaller size card than I normally do.  I wanted to keep it fairly simple because of mailing purposes.  Card is made up with a white cardstock base, two layers of pink lightweight cardstock, and a designer paper I had within my stash. Stamp is Retro Marci from the La La Land Crafts Company.  I added a Happy Birthday bright pink ribbon as an embellishment that I had in my stash. I think the ribbon was a mini roll I got from Michael's Store. 
I hope you like it.  Thank you for stopping in to visit and view my latest creation. 
I hope you have a happy and scrappy day.

I was shocked at how effortless this card all came together.  One day after school,  my Granddaughter KK and myself were stamping and coloring up some new stamps I had gotten in the mail.  One of the stamps we were working with was the Super Secret Stamp Club Hooded.  I started coloring the Hooded girl and before I know it, KK is commenting that its reminding her of Elsa from the Disney movie Frozen.  She gave me a great idea and I ran with it....Frozen theme....Hmmm.  It did not take me long to think up something, and I knew exactly what paper I wanted to use and then started digging through my embellishment supplies to find something closely related to frozen theme. Got to just love it when the creative process just flows smoothly.  So, here is the finished card.  I hope you like it and thanks for stopping in to take a look. Card is made up of White card stock, several pattern papers, the embellishment buttons and strips with snowflakes are from my supply, clocks are from an embos

Card Making: A Latte Hi

Over the weekend I found a little time to put together an autumn card.  This card is a combination of two challenges of the TGF that I have been wanting to create a card for.  So this creation came from attempting to combine both challenges of autumn colors and tag.  The card is made up with light brown card stock, several design papers, TGF stamp colored in with colored pencils.  I could not make a decision of which color ribbon to use, so I ended up putting both on.  The orange ribbon accented the colors I used on TGF stamp and made it pop, while the green color matched so nicely with the green found in the background design paper.  So here is my newest creation.....
