Happy Birthday Sweetie!

I love Michael! He turns 52 today and I gave him several gifts including this perpetual calendar and a card (other gifts were no handmade....  :))  Here is the perpetual calendar I made.  Turned out to be pretty easy to do and my wonderful friend Tracey and each made one in an afternoon.  We got the idea from the Close to My Heart consultant website.

This uses a 12X12 chipboard base, Mischief papers, and various letters and alphabets.  Isn't it cute?  I was just surprised how fast it actually went together!

For Michael's card, I used a Mojo Monday sketch.  He favorite color is purple so I tried to use purple with a masculine twist:

BIG Happy Birthday to my Love!

Paper Trail for September

For September, our little group chose Sonoma to play with.  I hope you enjoyed Vicki's wonderful creativity and am glad you continued on the "Trail" to my little blog!  You know how I love scrapping and when I saw this paper, Jen's wedding was the first scrapping subject that came to mind because she loves purple so much it's how I think of her, even after all these years.  So, here's my take on Sonoma.  I used the Work Shop On the Go kit.  What a wonderful kit for heritage photos, weddings, graduations, family pages, and more!

Beautiful papers!  If you want to see more, just hop over to Karen's blog!
