Fall and a Birthday!


Is anyone else enjoying the BEAUTIFUL weather?  We sure have with football games, baseball games, and a trip to Gary's Berries (a HUGE pumpkin patch with TONS of fun things to do) this weekend.  However, I've been gearing up for a very fun week here on the blog......a Lil' Inker Designs Release and a few *surprise* blog hops I'm helping with!  So stay tuned!  :)




I have a fun BIRTHDAY card to share using the Stitched Stars Dies from Lil' Inker Designs!  In just over a week, my *baby* will turn EIGHT so I needed a special card for her.  Where has the time gone??  *sniff, sniff*

I just love how a "little bit" of twine really dresses up a card!  I've used Tuxedo Black Timeless Twine......it's just bold and perfect!  I've added dimension with foam adhesive between the star layers and a sequin to the center star.

  8. Love your layered stars and clean design! Before you know it, your kids will be grown and you'll be joining the empty nesters' club! I miss the days of picking pumpkins, carving them, etc. Guess I'll have to wait for grandchildren - lol!

  9. You are so right...a bit of twine does dress the card up. So does the stitching on the stars. Beautiful job on your card.
