Happy Birthday, Susanne!

You all don't know Susanne, but take my word she is pretty fabulous!  She is one of my co-workers and a darn good Speech-Language Pathologist.  So when her birthday popped up on my calendar I knew I needed to get my creative on!

(Please forgive the iphone photo of this card.  With the time change it is dark when I go to work and dark when I get home from work, so this iphone photo was taken at work just so I could share it with all of you.)

My inspiration for this card are the simple hexagon stickers I used with the sentiments.  Simple, yet perfect for a card.  They were left over from last month's Scrappy Chic's Kit.  I used Helmar ZapDots on the back of the hexagons to give them a bit of lift off the paper.

Supplies:
Cardstock ~ Papertrey Ink
Paper ~ Memory Box
Stickers ~ Teresa Collins
Twine ~ The Twinery
Glues ~ Helmar

Happy Birthday, Susanne!

Lovin' on Scrappy Chics!

I have to say that Scrappy Chic's October Kit is one of my favorites!

Lovin' the balance of muted, pretty colors of Teresa Collins Vintage Finds

and the bright, bold colors of the Crate Paper Farmhouse Collection.

"A Daughter" has to be one of my recent favorites. 

I just love the grey on grey with just a touch of peach.

Doesn't hurt that my beautiful daughter, Lily, is the focus.  

Can you tell by "Sweetie Pie" that I am loving green & yellow?

The cute photos of my daughter and grandson, Kass & Chase, definitely

pulled out the green and yellow from the Farmhouse Collection papers. 

I have been taking lots of pictures on Instagram (I am ktbomb15 on Instagram if you want to follow me) lately and just figured out how to print them on my new HP Photosmart printer.  

"My Time With Mimi & Gramps" has Instagram pics of Chase spending time with us while Kass recovers from her accident.  It is so fun to do the day to day toddler activities with him! 

Yes, drinking a milkshake is a normal activity in our house. 

Using both the Vintage Finds and Farmhouse Collection papers in this month's Scrappy Chics Kit I created this simple, yet pretty frame.  I really loved all the fun hexagon Teresa Collins stickers that came with the kit and wanted to highlight "Make Good Things Happen."  

The frame is a 4 x12 panoramic. I used the Sizzix 2" hexagon die to cut the hexagons.  

I am hoping to make some more frames to compliment this one to hang in my craft room.  

Don't foget to check out what the other design team members have created at Scrappy Chics!

They will certainly inspire you to use this month's kit.
