A Birthday & a Challenge
August's challenge with the Pieces of Heart stamping group was to create something using the 2012-2013 in colors. I knew that my little grandsons 7th birthday was coming up and would need a card for him so I would combine the two. David loves Legos so I decided to use all 5 in colors to create this Lego card for him. The inspiration came from Heidi Boos found on the Stampin' Connection. I simply changed the color combination.
Call me an Indian-giver. I made the card, gave it to him on his birthday, then took it back so that I could take it to the monthly dinner with my peeps.

Natural Composition
I recently purchased the new Natural Composition Specialty Designer Paper Series collection and went straight to the web to surf out some ideas. (No surprise.) I ran across a card made by a fellow member of the TOPICS stamp group, Kirsteen Gill from Katy, Texas via Scotland. She mentioned how beautifully this paper took to sponging and she had the cutest little rose bud on her card tucked behind a butterfly punched from my new favorite Elegant Butterfly Punch. I had to give both a whirl. As Harry Caray would say, “HOLY COW!” Sponging this paper is amazing!!!! Not a card to mail but definitely a stunning success!
Thanks to Kirsteen for her inspiration and rose tutorial.

Promised Doilies
I promised my customers that we would have some doilies in our August camp. Teamed up with the Sizzix Delicate Doilies Sizzlet, the Lacy & Lovely stamp set fashions a very classy card. The sentiment in this stamp set and Basic Pearls really add the finishing touch. This is truly an all occasion card.
