Hi, Friends......
I meant to post this earlier today but have been too "busy" relaxing, opening gifts from crafty friends (more about that at bottom of this post!) and thoroughly enjoying my birthday!! :) I've had a wonderful easy-going day today....very enjoyable!!
I also finished up a gleaming gold and pink "scraps and strays" BD card for the occasion, using a background I made last year with distress inks on glossy photo paper. (It's another of my failed bubble-wrap backgrounds.... sooooooooo much fun to make and turned out pretty!)
Supplies used include:
Winnie & Walter - Essentials: Audrey Cutaways die set (has scallops) Winnie & Walter - Essentials: Katharine Cutaways die set
Winnie & Walter - In a Word: Happy Cutaway die
DCWV Mercury Glass Stack scraps
Winnie & Walter - In a Word: Happy stamp set
Distress Ink in Walnut Stain and Picked Raspberry
Neat & Tangled Sequins
Core'dinations white cardstock scraps
Want to see the Happy Mail that arrived yesterday????????
