Surprise Birthday

I made this card for a dear friend. Her husband threw her a surprise party tonight. She is such a special gal and is always doing so much for so many. I used so many of my resources to make this card.
The base, door, vines and poem are Penny Duncan, The gate is part of a card from Monica. The pillars and flowers are from the Moonlight Garden set at SVG Cuts. The grass is from Plantan Schoolbook cart. The butterflies are from MS Elegant Cake. The hummingbird and dragon flies are from Lyrical Letters.
I made the door seperate so she could open it. I'm happy to say she liked it. It was a wonderful party.

So Cely asked if it would fit into 5 x 7 or half sized envelope. Here is the cut file on an envelope.
I have also sized Penny's card files smaller, but it is think and the space is pretty small.

College Countdown

I've been working on a special surprise for my daughter. It is a Thanksgiving to Christmas Break Countdown. Each box has a little treat in it for her. This year there is 12 days from the end of Thanksgiving Break to the start of Christmas Break. I used pyramid boxes #1
from Monica Bjork. The stand came from Hobby Lobby at 50% off!
The paper is a variety of Christmas paper I had been hoarding.
I added a few bells to the extra hooks for some Christmas spirit.

I added 2 more holes with my Big Bite to string the ribbon through the pyramid.

Add my Goodies. Among the goodies are, Kit Kat, Mint Truffle Kisses, Candy Cane Kisses, Peppermint Gum, Tic Tacs, Cinnamon Hot Chocolate, Peppermint Sticks, Raspberry Hot Chocolate and Breath Savers.

Strung my Ribbon through and tied it. Added the Number Tags and tied it again. Looped on end which I left long and tied it to make a hanger. Trimmed the edges and Hung it up.

I'm hoping the boxes will last and I can make this a yearly tradition for her while she is in college. I am tickled with how it turn out.

Wedding Card

This is the card I made for my son and my new daughter-in-law. The outisde is a file from Monica's Gate Card 5 I believe and the inside is from Heather M's blog. I used 3 kinds of Stickles, Diamon, Icicle and Silver. The stamp is from Michael's $1 bin. I love how it came out. It was beautiful. I'm itching to see some of the pictures from the wedding.
