Happy Birthday, Michael!

Well, today is a big day in our house. It is the final day for the 2009 Spring/Summer catalog, the day my eldest son will be drawing a name to see who wins the Itty Bitty Buds stamp set (you can enter by commenting on any of my June Blog entries before bedtime tonight -7pm). And most importantly it is my baby's 1 st Birthday.

I hope you have enjoyed all the cards and scrapbook pages posted recently. Check back tomorrow for a link to the NEW catalog!!! Or contact me now if you want to know how to get your own copy.Stamps:

Comments:
Using the distressing tool, distress all the card stock except the glossy white. Stamp the Baroque BG in versamark ink, stamp on glossy white card stock, pour the black embossing powder over the image and heat. Stamp the sentiment in black ink on the white card stock. Mount the large Old Olive to the black card front and then mount the Baroque embossed image on the old olive. Tie the old olive ribbon around the card, top to bottom in a knot. Thread your hat pin with pearls and crystals from the pretties kit, pin through the know and secure with clutch. Mount the sentiment to the small old olive cs and then to the small black cs. Punch two 1/8" holes in the lower right corner using your hand held punch, insert rhinestone brads and secure. Mount to lower right corner using stampin dimensionals.
