Wordbird's Nest

Birthday Party

Here's a quick little card for a birthday party my DD is attending tomorrow. I love these girly -girl parties. Ten year old girls are so cute and chatty. It's fun to sit back and just enjoy their excitement.  ;D

 

I'm lovin' this cake. So much fun to color. It's in the Sugar Coated Sweetness stamp set from Red Rubber Designs. The sentiment can be found in the Savvy Sayings set. This is framed with a pretty flourish design from the Fabulous Frames set. It works beautifully with this Spellbinders die cut piece. And last but not least ... this bright and beautiful patterned paper is also from the Red Rubber Designs store. It's called Brighten My Day.

Don't forget to check out my blog candy! Just 5 more days to enter to win.  ;D

Just a Little Mimi ;D

I have fallen in love... with this little character!  Mimi stamps from Penny Black.

 

Hope your day is sweet! (Oh, and be sure to check out my BLOG CANDY here!) 

Happy Saturday

Hope your Saturday has been good so far.  ;D  My daughter and I started the day off at Palafox Market. It's a farmers market with arts and crafts. Fun, yummy and HOT. We are definitely having summer weather here in Pensacola. And oh, the beautiful flowers... The sweet young lady selling them had bundles and bundles of gorgeous, bright bouquets put together in large buckets of water... dern, I wish I had taken my camera! 

I do have some pretty flowers to share on my card today. I fell in love with this stamp set the first time I saw it. It's from Red Rubber Designs and it's called Be Fabulous.

Blessed

Yep, I am blessed...I bet you are too!

One thing that I am thankful for is the inspiration I get from so many creative, lovely people. This card incorporates the talents of two designers I love (literally!  ;D ) Laura Campbell (of Layers of Color) and Nina Brackett are busy designing everywhere these days!  ;D  One of the companies lucky to have the creative designs of these sweet girls is Penny Black. Laura and Nina have each had new stamps released in the past month.

 

The Beautiful lace background stamp is called Floral Thread. You may recognize this lovely lady stamp... check out NinaB's blog header!  ;D This sweet set is called So Blessed.

Love you Laura and Nina... hope all is well with you and God bless you... mwah!

Bless the USA

Wow... Time flies when you spend your days creating scenery back drops for an elementary school play! This is my first post for this week, yikes.   ;D

I do have a couple things to share today:

This image is so beautiful to me. Lady Liberty in all her majestic glory... makes me take a deep breath and thank my Heavenly Father that I was born in a country of freedom and thank the men and women who have sacrificed so much for us to keep that freedom. 

Red Rubber Designs carries this and other wonderful patriotic stamps. This stamp is called Liberty.

When I was making this card it reminded me of a scrapbook page I made a few years ago. My family and I were visiting the Naval Aviation Museum here in Pensacola. We love to hang out there, it's always changing and always interesting. 

Gotta love that boy!  LOL
