Sailing Away Birthday Wishes

Hello My Fellow Crafters,

It has been a busy couple of months for Birthdays in our family.  Today I am sharing a handstamped birthday card I made for our niece Riley.  She spent her birthday on a boat, so I thought this card would be great!

Pink Flamingo’s I Must Be In Florida

Hello My Fellow Crafters,

Close To My Heart has the cutest Flamingo stamp set and coordinating thin cut set  called Tickled Pink.

So many people think of Florida when they see Flamingo’s so I think this stamp set was made just for me, since I am a Floridian 🙂

All different kind of greeting cards can be made with this Tickled Pink set, but also think of accents for scrapbook pages, party invitations and decorations…

And remember just because its called Tickled Pink does not mean you have to make them pink.  You can use any color ink that you want.  That’s the best thing about creating your own paper crafts 🙂

These stamps are so fun and they remind me of some cameras that I used back in the day before digital.

The camera below was my Dads and I have it on a shelf in my craft room.  It’s crazy how cameras have changed over the years but even with images of these camera’s, they sparked some memories of growing up and how my parents took photos of us with real light bulbs for flashes, polaroid instant pictures…  🙂
