Today I want to share a birthday card that I have made for my nephew.  He is turning one this month.  So it is a big, big party.  I chose the blast off stamp from the Fun Pun set (115054)  This is such a fun set.  It just about covers every occasion.  I chose the color combo of Taken With Teal and Sweet Pea DP.  I love the color combo of blue and orange.  I colored my image with Prisma Color Pencils and Gamsol.  The ribbon in Dusty Durange turned on the opposite side.  Thanks for stopping in today.  I hope you enjoy the card.  I have alot to do in the next few days getting ready for my monthly stamp club which is tomorrow.  Hi Girls!!!!!!  Have a wonderful day and I'll see you back tomorrow.  Toodles

Good Morning Friends -  Welcome to Friday.  I have a short post for you today.  I have a lot of thngs to get done today.  My Prisma Color Workshop is tonight and I need to finish up and get ready.  The card I have to share is a sweet one.  I have seen several floating out there on different blogs that I browse.  I had to use my nesties for this one but Stampin' Up does have the large Scallop Circle #113468, I just don't have that at this time. It will make your bib a little larger.   My base is So Saffron #105118 and matted with So Saffron DP.  I used the Wide Oval Punch for the neck opening and the Large Oval Punch and the Scallop Oval Punch for the sentiment.  The sentiment is from Teeny Tiny Wishes #115370.  Thanks for stopping in today and I hope to see you back here tommorow.  P.S. If you decided to make one of these bibs be aware that is it difficult to punch the neck opening all at one time.  I had to do it in stages.  WW and VV are a little thinner and might be easier to punch.  Have a great day.  Toodles

I used the color combo of Rich Razzleberry, Rich Razzleberry DP #115685, Whisper White #100730, Orchid Opulence #100969, and a little Cottage Wall Designer Paper #115671.  The stamp set is For All You Do #115360 and Tiny Tags #118592 from the Occasions Mini and punched with the Tiny Tags Punch #117190.  I added an additional piece of WW on the inside and decorated it with the small flower from the set.  This makes the card more finished and easy to read.
