Birthday Wishes

Wow, I can't believe it's Thursday already! And believe it or not...I am so ready for the weekend to get here!!! :) Even though it was a short work week, it's been a busy one. Last night I worked on Dawn McVey's Raspberry Sweet Color Challenge #7. All I have to say is that this color combo ROCKS!!!


For this card, I used Prism Spring Willow, CTMH White Daisy & PTI Raspberry Fizz & 2008 Bitty Dot Basics in Spring Moss. I also used Dawn's set Damask Designs as well. This set is just gorgeous and I had so much fun working with it. I stamped Watermelon Ink onto the Raspberry Fizz CS and embossed it with clear embossing powder...just to give it some umph! :) You can't tell in the picture, and even if you can it's very faint...but I scored the bottom part of the Bitty Dot paper...like I said it's very faint. It really looks good IRL though...you'll just have to trust me! :) I added some stitching, some Primas and I again...I used PTI's Mega Mixed Messages for the sentiment. Seriously, if you don't have this set you should get it. There's so many great sentiments and the fonts are just fabulous! :) I used my Tags Trio Nestabilities for the sentiment and just like Debbie Olson does, I cut it and rounded the edges. I used some waxy flax to tie my sentiment around the ribbon and called it done! :)

I had a ridiculously hard time trying to photog this pic and this was the best I could do. Tell me, how do you girlies photograph your pics. What kind of lighting do you use, tents, etc.? I would love to know what kind of set-up everyone has!

Ok, well that's it for me today! Thanks for stopping by and I hope everyone has a fabulous Thursday!!! :) ~ Jenn
