Zachary's Birthday!!!!

Now isn't this a master piece???? I know you all want to know where you can get these "Star Wars" images...Well, my little guy LOVES, and I mean LOVES Star Wars, so of course mom had to make a Star Wars card. Those are clones...in case you didn't know. :]

He's really into them this year (he was a clone for Halloween). Last year he was totally into Anakin (me too) and General Grievous. A 10 minute card is just perfect for my seven year old. Zachary turns the big "7" tomorrow, but I know I won't have a minute to spare with hockey practice (Zach), a hockey game (Josh), a party at "Space Aliens" and a sleep over with Zachary's best friend Aidan. I'm already exhausted just thinking about it!!!!

Have a great weekend! Annette

From the Heart

Here's another quick card I made yesterday after I finished running my errands for the week. The hearts are embossed. I really like how they look embossed. It is difficult to see, but I used the a texturz plate on the Pink Pirouette paper. As a matter of fact, I just ran a piece of card stock sitting on my clean (HA!) stamp table in all six of the plates. One in white, one in pink, one in black, one in Riding Hood Red, and one in close to cocoa. I now have used the white and pink. Let's see what I come up with for the rest of them! Have a great day! I have lots to work on for church this week! Have a blessed day! Annette
