Happy Friday, peeps! This will be short and sweet, as I'll be stamping with my friends at the retirement community today! They'll be small in number but we'll still have fun!
I needed a birthday card for my college roommate, and the color palette at the Color Throwdown looked like fun, but I am pretty sure it's just those cookies talking to me, though! They look delish! :
I pulled out a few scraps of DSP and a couple stamp sets and here's what I came up with:
First, I stamped some scripty words from the new Elements of Text on a Crumb Cake card base, then added some tan gingham paper as well as the Pretty in Pink DSP. I embellished the edge with a couple of stitched border dies and added pink gingham ribbon. I used one of the coffee images from Latte Love, and a sentiment from the retired Wood Words:
I am regretting putting that pink dot in the middle of the coffee, but it's done now, LOL! A sentiment from Sketched Butterflies went on the inside:
I am going to enter this at Krafty Chicks also, where they're looking for birthdays!
My friend Mary and I go back to 1972 when we were in college together in East Orange, NJ. How things have changed, but when we get together, we just pick up where we left off from our last visit!
Thanks for visiting today! Enjoy it and be blessed!
