Simple Birthday Wishes

I made this card for a friend who is celebrating her 50th birthday! I figured she might not want bold reminders of the milestone, so I made this a clean & simple card. :)Stamp: Stampin' Up - Crazy for Cupcakes (sentiment), Stampabilities (Tree)
Ink: Stampin' Up - Garden Green, Brilliance Pigment - Black, Bic Write-It markers
Technique: Dots with a white gel pen

I am definately a big fan of CAS (clean & simple) cards. I cut the tree out and popped it up with Pop Dots to make it stand out a little more. It really is just as simple as that! So, hopefully this card will help make my friend's birthday a little brighter!

Almighty ATC

I finally got a few minutes to work on the next HHN09 challenge. I also got a few moments early this morning to upload the picture. At 8:30am! Why, you may ask? Because someone, with the wrong number, was texting me at that ungodly hour talking to me about cigarettes!!! I considered tracing the call and hunting her down to beat her with her own phone! We are NOT morning people! To top it off someone left the phone in my son's room! Three text message alerts later he was up and so was I. :( Soooo........

Here is my ATC! :)
(Jesus give me mercy!)

The stamp is from Stampabilities. I wrote the verse with a purple SU marker. The edges are inked and distressed. Then I added a self-adhesive jewel to the "y". An easy one! ;)

Now, I am going to try to sneak back to bed. Hold my calls! :)

Spring is...springing! I hope!

We had a few days of "better" weather and it has me all geared up for spring. I thought I'd post a card I made a while back that is very appropriate!
