Today I made a card for my mom, Bonnie. She is totally my hero and I love her so much. I made a 4.25" square easel card. I used patterned paper from the DCWV Summer Dream Stack and the purple card base is Making Memories Smooth Grapevine. I used Stampin' Up Certainly Celery 5/8" ribbon , a prima flower, a Doodlebug Design Inc. sugar coated brad in bubblegum, and the stamps are from My Favorite Things Clearly Sentimental About Mothers.

Now head on over to the super talented Cheryl at http://cardsbycg.blogspot.com/  and see what wonderful creation she has to share with you today.

Thank you for joining us for our design team blog hop and stop back real soon!

A New Birthday Card

Happy Thursday everyone! Tomorrow is Friday, Yay! I am so behind on making cards for people I know that have graduated or have had birthdays.... It's crazy. I feel like I have to make my friends and family one of a kind cards so they feel special. This card is for a friend who already had their birthday this year. I think she knows who she is. Surprise! Your card is on it's way, BFF! :)

I love this paper I've been using from The Paper Studio called Safari Untamed. It's so cute. You can't tell very well in the picture, but I added Sparkly Fluff to the black parts (except the eyes) of the zebra so it would look and feel more like a real zebra. I don't like using the Sparkly Fluff because it's really messy, but I love the look and feel it gives to your image.

I also added Glam Pink Stickles to the flower and Crystal Stickles to the center of the flower. The Happy Birthday stamp is from Stampendous.

I like how it turned out. What do you think?
