I admit, I was recycling again. I liked this line that was on a coupon card from Ann Taylor store, 'try it on, love it one. So, I used it:) I just added the b&w flowery paper to the front that was from a wedding album package, a green heart sticker, and a paper clip from Staples (60ps for a $1).

This is rather a complicated card. I know I said before I prefer simple card making but a little bit time consuming project is sometimes fun. I used a lot of techniques on this one... stamping, embossing, sewing, glueing, cutting, stuffing, and so on:) I print the birthday text on a piece of sheer paper, sprinkled it with transparent embossing powder, and heated it up with the heating tool. Before I sewed it completely to the white blank card using a red tread I slipped couple silver and gold circles out of foil. I added a little wooden lady bug and two foil hearts hanging from a red tread. The text is in Slovak and basically says all possible Birthday wishes!

blank green card from Michaels. recycled paper from K&Company. tree stamp from Penny black. little bit of embossing powder. a little stamp-embossing frame. and we are done.

lobster cut-out from a magazine. couple foam tape squares. recycled sheet paper from K&Company. 3 adhesive gems. green blank card from Michaels. Jamestown has still effects on me like fresh see-food on every corner:)

... u just bought like 10 wooden fabric stamps at the antique show, and having tons of craft magazines and books that need to find space in my already stuffed suitcase:) I am getting little bit annoyed by all this packing. I guess it is time to buy a new piece of language and bigger this time!

Today is my last day in Jamestown... time to go back home and get prepared for the wedding:) Tomorrow, D and me are heading for NY city and staying there for a night. My plane is leaving late in the evening and I hope we will make it to the Guggenheim museum before I leave home. I will let you know how it all went. See you later and wish me luck:)

This time there is a visible 'thank you' line. The orange blank card is from Michaels (I am getting tired of this word) and the paper dollie as well. I added a scrap yellow paper underneath the dollie to make it little bit pop out. Martha Stewart's products belong to my favorite and I found this gold ribbon from her line on sale. The stripe circle is a scrap paper that I stamped with 'thank you' stamp and embossed with gold powder. The butterfly is stamped, embossed, and hand-cut. I added four adhesive gems for the motion:)

This is the last addition to the 'thank you' set and I'm thankful it's over. I have enough 'thanks' for now:) Thank you for stopping by!

I have to admit, this is another very cheep card:) The blank green card was in a set of six at Michaels for $1, the orange serrated square is a fabric sample from Pottery Barn (so for free), the top flowery square is from note card set for a $1 as well. I found couple plastic middles that were left from fabric flowers that I used in a different project. I just cut them flat to be able to attached it to the middle of each paper flower. The last think was using a black ink pen to write a simple - thank you. Another addition to the 'thank you' family:)

I really like these cute silver medallions that I found at Michaels of course on sale and I decide to use it on of my 'thank you' card project. It's attached to the ribbon with a little golden brad from MM. The ribbon and the green blank card both are from Micheals as well. The 'plant' paper is from a set of different crafting papers and the sticker letters from Black Tie collection by MM.
Oh happy thank you day:)

Another one from the 'thank you' card set without a thank you line. I'm using a green blank card from Paper-Store, a paper dollie from Michaels, the premium ribbon from American Crafts, a blue circle cut out of Martha Stewart crafting paper, and the cherry on the top is the hand-cut butterfly with silver pen antennas and a pair of pink adhesive gems.

My dear D asked me to make couple thank you cards for couple people on one of his campaigns and I did... make couple card... and this is one of them:)
Very few items were used on this one... green blank card from Paper-Store with rounded corners, scrap pink paper, scrap transparent paper from Michaels, a hand-stamped and hand-cut butterfly attached with gold brad from MM, and 'thanks' stickers from a wedding album kit on sale at Micheals. Wonderful:)

... 'when there is a day to celebrate'...I just love the line! Sooo flexible... It can be used in any concept. So, I am ready for any special day:)

Another card for the mom's special day... similar concept as the last one just wider card- felt bird, recycled piece of paper-green with little bit different pattern, blank green card, and rub-on sentiment. Just lovely:)

Here we go again...a special day today for most of you, moms! Let's celebrate this day with little bit of yellow, green, and orange.
The material used - blank yellow card from Recollections at Michaels, orange felt ribbon with bird&branch theme from retif, and sentiment rub-ons from MM. The green paper from a double-sided mat pad by K&Company is recycled from 100% post-consumer waste and printed with soy ink.... how convenient:)   Happy day to all the mothers! I love you mom:)
