February Birthdays

Well, February is a big birthday month in my family...my husband, my brother-in-law, 2 cousins, and myself. Most people hope their birthday doesn't land on Valentine's Day so they don't get stuck with a "1 gift killing 2 stones" feeling. Well, my birthday is the day after Valentine's, so I guess I'm lucky...LOL. Needless to say, this meant it was time to work on some birthday cards. 

Stamps: Gorgeous Grunge, Another Great Year

Accessories: Chevron embossing folder, Ovals framelits, Starburst framelits, Rhinestones, Twine

Card stock: Island Indigo, Crushed Curry, Primrose Petal, Pear Pizzaz, Whisper White, Pacific Point

Ink: Whisper White Craft Ink Pad, Tempting Turquoise, Smoky Slate, Basic Black

Spiral Rose Bird Cage

I had so much fun altering this beautiful bird cage for a customer who ordered it from me. I am so happy with how simple and elegant it turned out; I am so excited to do another one.  BEFORE PHOTO

Here are a couple of the treat bags I completed from the Sweetheart Treat Bag kits. These make really cute classmate and teacher Valentine gifts.

This cute card box with cards would also be a nice teacher gift.
