Flashback Smiles

Hi there and happy Friday!  Hope you've had a good week.  Life has been a little calmer this week.  Good thing because the granddog loves attention - when he isn't sleeping.  lol  Looking forward to our Hostess Club meeting tomorrow - just need to load my tote into the car.  Afterwards, hubby and I will be going to my sister-in-law's annual bonfire/birthday party.  But for now, how about another card from our Card Buffet display board?  This camera shaped card was inspired by Debbie Henderson's card seen here and by Valerie Moody's card here - posted Nov 27th.  Thank you ladies for such wonderful inspiration!

Must sign off now to run errands and then get into the kitchen to make a treat for the party tomorrow.  Have a great weekend and thank you so much for stopping in today!

Hi there and happy hump day!  Hope you're having a good week.  Yesterday was a productive day running errands after having lunch with a friend.  Spending time with friends is always good!  But now it's time to tell you about the card.  This is one that I made for Kathy Boxdorfer, a friend and fellow Demonstrator, to wish her a happy birthday.  Kathy loves ladybugs.  A search on the internet lead me to Karien's card here.  I chose to do a full circle cut out with Framelits, rather than a semi-circle.  Slivers of black cardstock were used for the antennae instead of wire.  The eyes, cheeks, and black spots were made with several sizes of circle punches.  A little penwork detail was accomplished with Stampin' Up!s White Chalk Marker.  This was a fun card to make. 

That's it for now.  Thank you for stopping in today!
