Birthday Keep Coming!

I made a couple of very quickie birthday cards yesterday.  March is a busy month in our family for birthdays.  Yesterday was my brother's 55th, which we celebrated with family and his closest friends at a great little Italian restaurant over near the University of Washington.  Yummmy food, good conversation, and generally a nice relaxing time by all.  He was surprised to see such a great group gathered to honor him.  :)

Here are the card I made, both inspired by Pinterest (I seriously do not know what I would do without Pinterest!)

Drop by with any questions!  All materials used in the cards are available through Close to My Heart in the current Idea Book.

Skylark on the Paper Trail

What a fun paper feature for the Paper Trail blog hop: Skylark. If you cam here from Amy's blog, Welcome!  The Paper Trail is small circular blog hope and we hope you will enjoy circling our artwork  I was inspired by cruising Pinterest and the Close To My Heart how to Make it From Your Heart Vol. II book.  While I am a huge fan of vintage themed papers and Skylark screams vintage to me, it is also very versatile.  The two cards I created as so different! Shoot me any questions or comments and then hop over to Linda's blog to continue on down the trail.
