Happy Birthday to a Special Friend




It is already the first Wednesday of December and time for fun with the Scrapyland Challenge #31-Anything Goes using a brand of die that Scrapyland which is over 40 brands to choose from.

I just purchase last month some beautiful dies from Scrapyland.com and excited to show you these dies cut for this card and inspire you to buy if you don't have them already for making your gorgeous cards.  Also, Scrapyland.com sells over 40 named-brand dies that are absolutely gorgeous.



I have a special friend over the years and we get together weekly to make cards.  She cut out a few of the gorgeous dies from the Creative Expression-Sue Wilson-Expression Collection-Happy Birthday sentiment.  Later, she brought over a birthday card for her aunt that had her age on it next to Happy on this sentiment.   I thought it was so clever so I did this on her birthday card to personalize it.

Scrapyland.com sells dies such as the beautiful Creative Expression-Sue Wilson.   The stunning Creative Expression-Sue Wilson-Gemini Collection-Orion comes in a set of 3 dies.  Two dies will cut the top or bottom of the main die which makes this set very versatile to use on a card.





The other die cuts around the ribbon are the  Creative Expression-Sue Wilson-Finishing Touches-Delicate Fronds and the Cherry Lynn Design Victorian Romance Flourish as well as the beautiful butterfly from Cherry Lynn Design-Tiny Things with Wings.  

The gorgeous lavender and white ribbons and flower were from the on-line store of Really Reasonable Ribbon.  Really Reasonable Ribbon offers variety of ribbons in many colors that would look wonderful on any card.

I have so much fun sharing my cards with you as well as seeing the beautiful cards that the talented designers and people post on these challenges.  It inspires me and I hope my cards are inspiring you as well.

Now it's your turn!! Head on over to Scrapyland to see the amazing projects our design team have created for this challenge and also it is now your turn to share your amazing projects with everyone!

Gorgeous, Nancy! I have pinned several of your cards (can you tell I'm in love with your style?). How ingenious to place the Orion die on an angle - looks so pretty diagonally, and I plan on copying your beautiful card! The color is soft and feminine (Guessing it is your friend's favorite color?). The perfect touch is to crown the jewel next to the years. Each year becomes more precious to us, right? So grateful you are on the SL DT so that we met, and can enjoy our friendship! hugs, de
