Fresh Sunday

Happy Sunday everyone. Hope your weekend is going well. I've been sick for the last five days and I finally feel better. Was down with a cold/sinus infection and it was not fun.

Anyhow, today we're celebrating my Mother-in-Law's birthday and it was the perfect chance to create one for her. The sketch from Freshly Made Sketches inspired to create.  Lots of beautiful inspiration from the Design Team.


For my card, I combined some new and retired items. Back in the day, Stampin' Up! used to offer stamp sets in Spanish.  While they are no longer offered, I kept most of the stamp sets. The Picture Perfect Party 6x6 DSP is perfect (LOL) for birthdays. Great variety and the colors are bright and cheerful. The balloon honeycomb embellishments are retired but there are currently in the annual catalog in new colors. The baker's twine is from the December 2017 Paper Pumpkin Kit. I realized after the fact that this card will not be easy to stuff into an envelope, but I'll make it work.  My MIL loves handmade greeting cards and displays several cards I've made for her in the past. Makes you feel good when people hold on to your creations. 


Thanks for stopping by, hope you have a great Sunday and stay healthy. All the best.
