Masculine Birthday card

My brother in law Frank, birthday is today and I mailed and made this yesterday for him. I love the old pickup truck from the Countryside stamp set from Stampin' Up. (120495) If you would like this set let me know as I am a Stampin' Up demonstrator!

I inked the edge of the card and image, layered the front of the card with - get this - wall paper - I just love the colors of the stripes and went well with my ink, the wallpaper is very smooth of the stripes.

Added a file folder punch with the Happy Birthday stamp from my stash. The inside sentiment is from Studio G from Michael's. The little apple stamp is also from the same stamp set "Countryside".

A visit to Martha Stewart Studios

I was lucky to get tickets to the Martha Stewart show yesterday in New York.
It was her yearly cooking show, oh the yummy recipes and we all got a recipe book and a tote bag. I took my two sisters to join with me. We had a good time. (the show was taped to be aired Feb 23rd)

I wished she did crafts yesterday but was pleased it was cooking as I love to cook as well.
Martha thanking us for coming
Here are some pics: The studio

Snowman hello

Created this card - yes I have started a weekly Christmas card creation - as I did last year to get my stash ready for December 1st when I mail out - about 40 Christmas cards.
Challenges helped me to create them weekly so BBtB this week wanted us to use the Snowman from Doodle Charms Cricut cart- one of my fav carts! I cut him at 3", the layout I used to complete this card is from DCRU

Martha Stewart felt snow flake morder and also the snowflake punches inside the card.
Rhinestone from Studio 18
