A Party Hat & Some Birthday Cards...

Friday was my mama's birthday, so I put together this bouquet of flowers (a combo of peonies from my garden & roses from Costco) and made her this party hat to wear at dinner.


I've also been on a mission to use up some of the paper scraps I have laying around. (Sometimes it's just so hard to toss those pretty little scraps!) I stuck with the birthday theme and created some fun and simple cards. Here are a few of them...

























I made an extremely small dent in my scrap pile, but I loved how quickly these came together...and am inspired to create some more! Any themes you want to see? My card stash is low on Thank You & Just Because cards, so maybe I'll work on those next. Father's Day is coming up too!

Happy crafting...
Bethany

  2. oh these are just wonderful, I love your blog, and I so love what you have done with your scraps into cards. The recipients of these are going to be so spoilt. I am adding you to my faves list, cause your work is so inspiring. I love working with white, and I see you have so much white in your cards also. Two thumbs up from here.

  3. Lovely cards! I usually end up staring at a piece of paper for about forever before I come up with some super boring design (for cards and scrapbook pages). Love your beautiful and creative cards!

  12. Little Birdie Secrets shared about your new blog. Your cards are so cute. I especially love the one with the tiny pennants! So sweet! I forwarded your link to my daughter ~ she'll love it!

    I use old shakers for my glitter too! I don't have near as many as you do though. The pictures that Bethany shared (of your glittery storage)are awesome!! I purchased a little, vintage two tiered tray to store my tiniest shakers on ~ it arrived on Monday. I hope mine looks as great as yours!
