Birthday Bliss

Well it's that time of year again. School's back in session. And so is our blog. The summer was very fun! And Megan and I took many opportunities to get together and make some new cards so we hope to be posting on here more often to share some of our creations.

Last month, August, I celebrated my birthday. And then celebrated it again. And again. Okay so I was spoiled - I like to say that I was loved-on. Through surprise gatherings, beautiful cards and kind words, through little surprises and lots of hugs. I love hugs!! haha. Anyways, it was while looking through the cards I received that I noticed how the cards that meant the most to me were the ones where someone had taken time to make them or to write a personal message specifically for me. So thoughtful!!

I have to tell you one little story. One of my friends, who is not crafty in the least and has no desire to be AT ALL, handmade me a card!! She cut out pieces of paper to make different designs and patterns and also cut out little pictures (and I mean like fussy cut them out so perfect I thought they were stickers). It brought a smile to my face, warmth in my heart and definitely a tear to my eye. I will treasure it always!

Also during August I was asked to make a couple of birthday cards for a friend to give to her neices. I tried to make them different, girly and cute! With a little sparkle of course. Check out the photos below of the two cards - and notice my friends' amazing photography skills!

Thanks for stopping by to check us out! And let us know if we can make a special card for someone special in your life!! We'd love to!
