Hello my friends! Today I have something that I made purely for fun. The challenge over at Cheery Lynn Challenge Blog is Birthdays! I have had some Lili of the Valley stamps ( this one is called coffee break) that I ordered some time ago now, and have not had time to play with yet... today was the day. I used the sketch from Card Positioning Systems 261, and my papers are a yellow base by Martha Stewart, and dp by MME, Miss Caroline Howdy Doody. LOVE this new paper!!! I used the Cheery Lynn Polynesian Sails die to frame my image, and stamped the Happy Birthday sentiment from Hero Arts and cut with a Spellbinders Tags 5 die. The image is colored with Copics and some simple bakers twine finished it off..... nice and simple, but I had so much fun coloring this. It's a change for me. I hope you enjoyed it. Thanks so much for stopping by, and your comments give me such joy!

Hi, I really, really like this card..thanks for posting. But I would like to know a little bit more about the stamp..where did you get it? What is the name? I have searched and cannot find.
Thanks again.

Grace,
Your card is so lovely! I have to share that the song "Blessings" by Laura Story holds such a special place in my heart. I lost my husband to brain cancer 2 months ago and Laura's husband also has brain cancer and the story behind this song is shared on a video on you tube. Each time I hear it I think of my husband and it comforts me. Today, as I was missing him I happened to click on your card from the Cheery Lynn site and what should start playing but "Blessings".....it was like a little hello from my sweet Stuart. Your blog has touched my life today and I just wanted you to know....blessings to you!
