Happy Birthday Anita....Surprise!

Happy Birthday Anita...are you surprised??? 

This is so much fun to have a surprise birthday party for you, you are one incredible and talented lady.  If you don't know Anita, you have been living under a rock...she is an incredibly talented card maker from France and you can see all of her amazing creations on her blog My Papercraft World. Bev from GottaDoTheHappyDance our fabulous party planner and Darnell from djkardkreations is the Linkie Laday where you can see all the wonderful cards made for Anita.  They are so sweet to have taken the time to organize this surprise birthday bash and so glad I got an invitation to play along.

My card doubles as homework from Day 6 of Clean and Simple - One Layer Cards class. I have to say this was a fun card to make and I used colors that I see Anita use a lot. This was my first attempt as making a graffiti card and I have to say I am pretty happy with it.

CASology and Clean & Simple - Day 4

I was up bright and early this morning and was able to get 2 cards made, one for this weeks CASology, the cue card is "game". I do not have many game type stamps, in fact this is the only one I have so I had to make it work. I was fun to play with and is the closest I will ever to get even using one of these controls. I am more of a card or board game person. 

My second card is homework for day 4 of Clean & Simple Card Making 2...I am a bit behind in getting my homework completed and so happy that I have the weekend to get caught up. I only made one of the cards for day 4, but I have to say it was a fun card to make. I kind of messed up the bottom portion of my card trying to use an impression plate that was anything but cooperative! I ran out to Joann's to buy a new one, one that I knew would work like a charm. 

Thanks for stopping by to take a peek at my cards....have a fabulous day!

Clean & Simple Card Making 2 - Day 3

So far today has been my favorite lesson...I fell in love with the first video of the day from Jennifer McGuire, it was easy to do and turns out just beautiful. Day 3 of class and I was on time again, in fact class was late today by 11 minutes, so no demerits for me.  I did not have everything for this card so I just made due with what I had on hand. I have a few stamps that you can use to make backgrounds but I have to be honest I rarely ever use them, that is until now. The possibilities are just endless! Thank you so much for stopping by and taking a peek of my card....it was so much fun to make!
