Happy 50th Birthday Jeremy!!!

Happy 50th Birthday to my best friend Jeremy!!!  Each year I make Jeremy a funny card for his birthday, this is what I came up with for this year... 

I kept it clean and simple, even though Jeremy likes to say he gauges how much I like a person by how many layers I use on a card, haha!  I knew when I purchased this set from My Favorite Things last year that I would be using it for Jeremy's 50th birthday.  I ran my panel through the cuttlebug using the Wonky Stitch die-namics from MFT.  Then I stamped my images from Festive Old Friends in Memento ink, coloring them with copics.

  

Wanted to decorate and try to make it a little special for him since he wasn't able to do his 50th birthday bucket list.

Inside- "At your age, I'd keep the number quiet" 

Me and Jeremy.

This years meal- Quincy Jones Ribs, Coleslaw, Potato Salad.

Dessert- Dolly Parton's Banana Pudding Cake

Thank you for taking a peek!

 

Happy Birthday David...

For a fellow cycling friend for his birthday.

 I had fun creating this card.  I used all My Favorite Things Penguins in Paradise, stamped in Memento ink, colored with copics, die cut, then mounted with foam dots.  I used MFT snow drifts for the sand, creating the look with copics.  Made the sky with various inks and blending brushes.

Happy Birthday Betsy...

For one of my cycling friends from New York for her birthday.  

I used this adorable cat from My Favorite Things Cat-astrophe and framed it with their Happy Birthday Circle Frame Die-damics.  Very Vanilla, Mint Macaron card stock and My Mind's Eye patterned paper.

Thank you for having a peek at my blog.

 

Thank you 4 all Your Support...

My co-ride leader and I wanted to thank our fellow cyclist for their continued support for attending our ride.  We were approaching the 4th of July and having a ride so we purchased matching socks for us all to wear.  I wanted to make a coordinating tag for the two us to sign.  Here's what I came up with...

I took inspiration from the socks themselves to make the tag.  I used Stacking Stars Die-namics from My Favorite Things. A decorative corner rounder to make the tag top.  Banner Sentiments and Banner Flags Die-damics from MFT.  Real Red, Night of Navy and Very Vanilla Card Stock.  Various ribbon I had on hand.

How'd I do?

The socks were a big hit!

Happy Graduation James...

For my friends son for his graduation.

 I'm slowly getting caught up on all my blogging and posting.  Seems like I go in spurts.  I'm still trying to figure out the best way for me to take pictures, edit them and upload.  I'm not the greatest photographer when I comes to taking pictures of my cards and would really like to improve in that department.  Anyhow, I used a long time ago retired stamp set from Stampin' Up to create this card.  Keeping with his school colors, black and red.  Quick, clean, and simple.

Thank you for stopping by!

Thank You Becki...

I'm so far behind with my blogging and posting, I'm trying to catch up...
Here's a thank you for my friend Becki for her card purchase.
Thank you so much Becki!

Happy Birthday Sid...

For my besties step dad for his birthday.  He loves guitars so I try to make him a birthday card with one each year.

 I found an old Stampin' Up wheel that I thought would be fun to use for his card.  I used markers on the wheel since I wanted a multi color look to the background and didn't have any cartridges that were two toned.  I stamped the guitar from an old Stampendous set I had and fussy cut it out.  Sentiment is from My Favorite Things Itty Bitty Birthday.  I mounted my layer on Bermuda Bay, then a white base layer.
