Hey, Little Birdie!

Hi there and happy Friday!  Just dropping in real quick before meeting a friend for lunch.  I wanted to show you one of the sample cards showcased in our Feb-Mar Card Buffet.  The DSP (Designer Series Paper) and ribbon were freebies during Sale-a-bration.  This was a CASE (Copy and Share Everything) of Penny Smiley's card here (scroll down to Jan 5 post).  Penny used the leaf stem from the Bird Builder punch to "hang" her bird cage.  I chose to use the Tangerine Tango ribbon that coordinated with the Sycamore Street DSP.  I also used Serene Silhouettes for the image - just used markers to ink up the branch and the bird.  This was a popular card with our Buffet attendees. 

Must run.  Hope you have a great weekend and thank you for checking in today!

Easy Events Snail

Hi there!  Hope your week is going well so far.  This is a scheduled post since I'm with my stampin' peeps at the Girls Getaway Retreat.  Lots of good times!  What goes on at the retreat, stays at the retreat!  lol 

OK, now for a little info about the above card.  I was late sending a birthday card to a friend, so my belated wishes were conveyed with this card. 
Our new Honeycomb embossing folder was used on the background panel, and can be found in the new Stampin' Up! Spring catalog.  It's definitely a favorite of mine.  The stamp set is Easy Events (found in the annual catalog).

That's it for now.  Thanks for stoping in today!

Sorry I'm Late!
