Birthday

Party with Cake

I used this month’s Creating Pretty Cards Card Sketch #63 (CPC63) at Craft Project Central to create this bright and happy card. If you make a card using the sketch and submit it, you could win a FREE Month Subscription to Craft Project Central! CLICK HERE to find out how.

The stamp sets I used are Party with Cake and Better Together. The DSP is Pop of Pink. Can you tell where the black dot in the middle of the O came from? Yep, it’s a White Perfect Accent colored with my Black Sharpie marker. Can you guess who I would make a pink and black card with hearts and arrows? You probably guessed, my sweet Abby. She is an archer and I love her so much, but her birthday isn’t until February. As I was trying to find stamps to use for this challenge, subconsciously I must’ve been thinking of Abby!

If you go visit Craft Project Central,please remember to leave a comment on my project to have another chance to win a free month subscription.

One Wild Ride

My Aunt Irene is having a birthday and she rides a Harley, so One Wild Ride is the perfect stamp set! I love the combination of Harley and pink and sparkly. Hope your birthday is awesome Aunt Irene!

I also love the tire track on the envelope!

Have I shared my DIY summer project with you? Several years ago my kids wanted a backyard trampoline, but Superman was worried someone might get hurt. Later, I decided to ask for a trampoline for Mother’s Day and Superman gave in.

We’ve had the trampoline a long time and the springs are starting to rust.

So Abby and I went to WalMart and bought 16 $1 pool noodles. I used a utility knife and cut each noodle lengthwise.

I then cut the noodles into 6 pieces, the length of each spring. My trampoline has 96 springs.

Isn’t it cute?! I love it! Did you also notice I also have a “Hosta Farm” under my trampoline? My friend Teresa gave me a few hostas several years ago. I’ve been growing them under my trampoline and then moving them out to areas around my yard. My yard is full of hostas now. So…are you wondering who jumps on the trampoline? As the kids were growing up, lots of days after school we would go out and jump, talk and I would listen to my kids. This summer I didn’t always have a kid at home, but I still jump even by myself. (Remember, I was a gymnast!) I like to go out in the mornings and weed, water, and take card of my flowers and vegetable gardens. Before I go back in, I usually jump on the trampoline. It’s a great way to get your heart rate up fast. I always hope no one sees me. The neighbors have never mentioned it. They are probably embarrassed for me!

Blessings,

Beth 🙂
