Birthday Bash!

Good morning!

I think I must be dreaming again - how lucky I am...

For the month of August, I will be guest designing for Great Impressions Stamps!

Great Impressions was actually one of the very first stamps that I used many years ago,

when I was becoming so hopelessly addicted to this hobby.  It's fun to be

working with them again!

Today begins the monthly challenge at the Great Impressions Blog. 

The theme for August is 'Birthday Bash'.  

Here's what I created:

I used Lilly's Garden Time SKU #H10 for my card. 

Here is the card opened up.  The sentiment is Bouquet of Wishes  SKU #D456

Here is a shot of the 'card' opened.

This fun little card is only 2" wide.  I used a punch on each end, and created an easel card.

She's already been mailed to our church secretary!

We'd love to see you join us for the August challenge!

Be sure to check out the challenge rules - you need not use a Great Impressions stamp to enter!

Hope to see you there,

Patti J.

P.S. While out and about, be sure to 'Like' the Great Impressions' Facebook page, and follow the Great Impressions Blog!  The inspiration is incredible - what a talented group of designers they are!!!

Hi again!

Wow - two posts in one day?  Sometimes, I amaze myself! lol...

I spent a wonderful time with my friend Shirley today. We literally locked

ourselves in her girl cave for HOURS, and only came out for food or restroom breaks.

What fun!  Thanks, Shirley - not sure which one of us needed that the most!

Mr. Mojo has returned.

Here is one of the cards we made.  We've been seeing these cards made with the Stampin'Up! Scallop Tag Punch, and since we both own one, we decided to give it a try.  The paper is also a new paper from Stampin'Up! The sentiment is a stamp from Hobby Lobby - don't remember who makes it.

Used my Perfect Layers Rulers to create the beautiful mats - check out my sidebar for details!

We both love the way it turned out, and I'm going to squeak this in to Challenge #132 at Word Art Wednesday, JUST in the nick of time!  I think it closes in about 6 hours.

Have a good evening,

I'm on my way to see what you've been up to!

Thanks for looking,

Patti J.
