birthday cards

Its Thursday, and I've been feeling a little sick so I decided to stay in bed and rest. I just watched the movie, "Eat Pray Live". I really enjoyed it. I really don't get a lot of alone time, so when I do I have to take it and run with it.

A couple of weeks ago I made some birthday cards for my hubby's co-workers. They turned out adorable so I wanted to share. TGF is having a challenge and I am going to enter with this card.

 

Recipe:

Paper: Kraft cardstock for the base and the sand part

Stamps: The Greeting Farm - Cheeky Beach, My Creative Time - Wow! So Many Candles

I used Copics, twine, half back pearls from Recollection, and Spellbinders Nestabilities.

and the other one was more of a manly card (I think).

Recipe: 

Here I used kraft cardstock and for the front background I just got an image online. I also used black cardstock to mat all of the white papers.

Stamps: My Creative Time - Wow! So many candles

Twine and half perls from Recollections.

Teacher Appreciation

I made a banner for my son's kindergarten teacher for Teacher Appreciation and I thought I'd share! 

Also I decided to enter a challenge with it!
