2009 October 07 – My Cardz ~ My Passion . . .

(Sorry this turned out to be such a lonnnnnnnnngggggggg post!! Too much to say!!)

Surprise, surprise! Another from the Gillian Roberts collection by Stampavie, now in stock at 7 Kids College Fund! Yes, I know, I have a problem. lol I thought these two little birds would be perfect for a special card for any newlyweds on their first Christmas. This stamp is actually named Robins… yep, I did it again and colored them as love birds!

I tried to color them to resemble the colors of actual love birds … lovebird

Thought it would be fun to add some pink and blue Stickles (Cotton Candy & Faded Jeans) to their stockings ~ kind of like his and her towels!! 🙂

I also added some Green Apple Smooch pearlized paint to their tail feathers for a little bit of bling. The dp used is from the older Basic Grey Figgy Pudding collection. The sentiment tag is from the Spellbinders Shapeabilities set Ribbon Tag Trio 2.

And, the gorgeous little heart is from my dear friend America of the HMDT. A group of us on the HMDT were being “Secret Sisters” for the month of September ~ Each week we would send a card we made to our Sister, and on the final week a surprise gift package with lots of goodies! Well, Ms. America sent an unbelieveable package with sooooooooooooooo many awesome gifts – I was totally floored!! It felt like Christmas in September!! Here are a few pictures of my amazing surprise package:

Lots of goodies!!

Ribbon galore!
