Personalized Card

Happy Monday Crafty Friends!

I am so excited to share my card with you today using a lovely die set from Top Dog Dies and some great stamps from Inspired By Stamping!

I love the Ornament & Tags #1 Die Set!
I was so super excited to get my hands on this die set!

At the time I wasn't sure what I was actually going to do with it, but I knew I needed it!! ;)

Yesterday, I had some crafty time to sit down and play with it and I ended up knowing right away what I wanted to do with it first!

I have ALWAYS wanted to create some of my own personalized Christmas cards with our family photo on the front of the card!
(But like many other people I have always ordered from Shutterfly or some place like that!)

But with the new Ornament & Tags #1 Die Set I thought the ornament would be perfect for cutting out our family photo!!

Here is my card:

The die goes so nicely with this paper I had!!

Close-up:

The is hanging from one of the corner Leafy Flourishes!

Inspired By Stamping's set Creative Tags was perfect to use for the "love" which fit perfectly on the tiny tag!  I thought it was a nice addition to the ornament!

The "Merry Christmas" is from IBS's Festive Frames set!

Birthday Hop for Joanna

Happy Friday Stamping Friends!

I'm so excited, today is owner Joanna's Birthday, from Inspired By Stamping!!

In honor of her, we are having a SURPRISE Birthday Blog Hop for her!!

Happy Birthday Joanna!! 

Here's a card I created for her using some of her lovely stamps!

I had sooooo much fun creating this card with Joanna in mind!

The "Happy Birthday" sentiment is from the Happy Sentiments set and the "Make a Wish!" is from the Happy Occasions Sentiments set.  I just love how nicely these two sets work together!

The stamped yellow polka dot stripe is from the Background Basics III!  Just LOVE polka dots!

The single blue stamped stars are from the It's Your Birthday set!

The tiny grouping of stars is from the Create a Cupcake set!

Inside:

For the inside I used the wonderful Birthday Greetings set for the sentiment!  I just love this set with all the great sentiments for the inside of your cards!  Again I used the Create a Cupcake and It's Your Birthday, along with the Cupcake Wishes set for the stars!  I also used the fun Washi Tape set for the polka dot washi tape!!

We hope you have a wonderful day Joanna!!
Thank you so much for all you do for us!
I am so honored to be designing for you!!

Thanks

With November having "Thanksgiving" what a perfect month to "thank" those special people in your life!

With things being so crazy on my end lately, with being so sick.  My mom has been there so much to help me out!  So I thought it was important to use this challenge to create her a thank you card!

I used the beautiful Hydrangea ATC for the main image of this 

beautiful card!
