Sunflower invites

 Fun invitations for the annual Girls Weekend at the infamous Punkin Chunkin!  Its so much fun its something I look forward to every year! 

 

I used the Criss Cross technique, which I have never down this direction. I had made some graduation invites a while back the other direction, so it took some time for me to configure. With this chevron paper, I wanted to keep the design straight, but not all were that lucky! 

  

 I made a sunflower with black rhinstones in the center... they were tiny! (3mm tiny) and I liked they went with it all. I used some burlap to wrap it all together as a bellyband!

Butterfly Birthday Wishes

Holy Moly... what a week.. weather has been rainy and fall like... even though its August... guess I shouldn't complain.. but wow... I cannot seem to keep that outside chores up with all this weather change.

On a good note my daughter is at the shore with my sister and niece, and having a great time!  Though I am not sure who manages NOT to have a good time when away like that... 

Another August birthday crept up on me and I quickly had to grab some stuff that was out... I used the Apothecary Accents frame and put some texture on it before adding the frames and sentiment.  I used some bakers twine for the butterfly and rhinestones for more shine.

   

Now I am going to have to clean up my craft cave - things are getting out of control and really testing my OCD. {{just kidding.. or not}}  I do have to get some American things put together for son's  Welcome home party/Labor day celebrations.  It will be nice to have him home!!

Bright Birthday cake!

I cannot believe I have more September birthdays! Just when I thought we were closing in on the end of the month.. another one pops up! Good grief!  I can be glad that I have been able to hid from most of the cake eating- or I would be on a permanent sugar high! 

I wanted fun and I wanted bright! I used the Utah Divas color challenge with the Card Patterns sketch. It all worked out perfect!

 I used some DSP from the In Colors and then Just Add Cake and some Melon Mambo that was in my scrap bin. The ovals were cut with my Big Shot {love this guy}. I wasn't sure about the middle but I like the little sentiment with image from the Happiest Birthday Wishes stamp set.  And I love the little tiny flower punch! I blinged it up with some rhinestones too!
