Happy Birthday!

Two friends recently celebrated their birthdays...the good thing is that they are actually Birthday Twins (just a couple years apart!!)...which makes things easy for me, sometimes...

I decided to pull out a new stamp set and punch for their cards, and then sat there...inspiration lost.  About two nights before the big day I finally was able to muster some imagination...and whipped this one out.

Stamps:  Bring on the Cake

Paper:  Peach Parfait, Poppy Parade, Baja Breeze, Whisper White, and Just Add Cake DSP

Ink: Early Espresso, Peach Parfait, Poppy Parade, Pear Pizzaz, Baja Breeze, and Blushing Bride

Accessories: Petite Pennants Builder Punch, Mini Brads

Reinkers!! (aka Stampin' Ink Refills)

Sometimes I have the best intentions.

Sometimes I am unprepared for my intentions (like tonight).

I am working on a project that I've had on my "to do" list for a few months.  It requires two different types of ribbon of the same color, and some patience.

So, I pulled out my notes, my scissors, liquid adhesive, satin ribbon, and discovered that (duhn duhn dun duuuhnnnnnnn - creapy music here) I don't have matching grosgrain ribbon!!

NOW WHAT?!?!?!?!

Well, we MacGyver it and make some out of Whisper White Grosgrain Ribbon and a matching color reinker!!

THAT'S WHAT!!!!

Hee hee...and to think, I almost had to push this project back again until I ordered more ribbon!!

(I promise to post pictures of my project once the ink dries and I get it all put together!!)

Happy Crafting!
