HAPPY BIRTHDAY JULIE!

Happy birthday to my pen pal Julie!!! Just love the Oct 31 stamp I found at Joanne's. I used it only once and sent it to Julie as a gift (slightly used, but for a good cause) since I do not celebrate Halloween

Happy Sunday. Another day, another posting.

This is a BD card I made for my Pen Pal friend who currently resides in Japan. I had the opportunity to not only meet her last weekend, but to give her the card in person. Yes, it was late, as usual.

I used a beautiful paper that another friend had given me years ago, and that I had been hoarding forever. I thought it fitting, as she is the ultimate paper hoarder and she can appreciate the gesture.
Cardstock: SU Lavendar Lace, Artichoke, Black.
Stamps: Crane, Unknown, bought at a stamp convention, HB Penny Black
Accessories: gems from Walmart, Pearl Ex, Veramark and Gold embossing Powder.

Challenges

I have been doing the challenges these past couple of days and here is the product of my labors. The Friday Limited Supplies Challenge at Splitcoast Stampers (SCS) was a Girlie Girl card and the Inspiration challenge on Saturday inspired the flowery card.
My next mission in life is to try to stay away from flowers for awhile which will be difficult as the majority of my stamps are flowers. Let's see how I do. Thanks for looking.
