I think they are super cheerful and can be used for a multitude of things (i.e. hidden messages, gift cards, easel cards, etc.) August is a very busy birthday month for me. You will be seeing lots and lots and lots of birthday cards. On my maternal side of the family there are eight (8) birthdays and three (3) of these are for my aunts and one (1) for my mother. The remaining are cousins. Well on to the card.
This card qualifies for three challenges:

Christmas Window Easel
Another fun to create card. I struggled a bit with the tree until I decided to put the picture window in front of it. That changed the whole look of the card. This was inspired by a stamp from Doodlebug Home for the Holidays. I hand cut the Christmas tree and the picture window, both are my own creations.
This card is entered into two challenges: CARDZTV and Tuesday Throwdown. CARDZTV's challenge was to make a tree and Tuesday Throwdown's challenge was a Christmas in July challenge. This card applied to both.
Here is my offering:

I also made a lined envelop. The liner was made by positioning a smaller version of the rose stamp all-over red cs. I also made a rose seal for the back of the envelop.

Smile Mosaic
Hello bloggers,
Hope all of you had or are having a terrific Monday. Busy, busy here in Texas. I reorganized my paper scraps. The larger scraps were filed in an old paper carrier and the smaller scraps are still in the paper drawer. It sure makes things much easier when looking for just the right size element.
I made two of the same card today. Both are pink, green and white. The challenge was a mosaic look. Check out Tuesday Throwndown and Card Patterns. Here is my take on their challenges. Here is a pic of CP#72.

Just stopping by for a visit ...
While I was posting my latest card creation I had a visitor to my craft table sneak in ... Zach a.k.a. Bubbe.
He and his sisters (Sophie and Lucy) jockey for room on the craft table while I am there. They are quickly moved to a chair which is strategically placed beside me while crafting. With all the sharp tools and many pointy objects on the table I worry about them getting hurt while jumping up on the table or down from the file cabinet to the left of the table (off picture). Do you see the mat under Bubbe? That's my Creative Memories cutting mat. I know what he is thinking, "Mom, did you think I would curl up on a bare table?"
I think I will let him 'sleep' there for a while. I have some calls to make and dust to stir.
Happy crafting!

Hello all,
Hope you had a wonderful 4th. It was quiet here. Had quite a bit of rain on Friday and Saturday, but Sunday was bright and sunny.
Several blogs are having Christmas in July. CARDZ TV is one such blog (one of my favs, see button on sidebar). Unscripted Sketches is another blog with Christmas in July. They are having something everyday in the month of July. Head on over and check them out. I mentioned these two because the card below fits with both challenges. Unscripted Sketches Bonus Christmas in July #1 was the pattern used for this card along with CARDZ TV's color combo (pink, red, green, white and black ONLY).

Our Founding Fathers
I am a fan of Mary at Cardztv. This week she is the Paper Playtime Queen of the week. So I decided to participate in this week's challenge (Paper Playtime Challenge #2 ). The theme was "In thy face I see honor, truth and loyalty." First thoughts were God and country, soldiers and Old Glory, etc. Since DH and I had recently viewed a program about Benjamin Franklin I decided to honor three of our Founding Fathers: George Washington, Benjamin Franklin and Thomas Jefferson.

Flowers for a Friend
You guessed it ... another floral card. I made this card with my mother's friend Lila in mind. She is in need of some TLC right now. If you could say a little prayer for her that would be terrific.
