Happy Saturday! Today is my first official day of vacation - again! I am off all week and am looking forward to doing NOTHING! Of course I have a few projects planned and I'm going to finish all of them! One of my planned projects is cleaning out my craft room and organizing - again.
I also want to start a mini album I've been picturing in my mind. Now I just need to buckle down and make it happen!
Here is a birthday card I made for dear friend of mine. We were high school BF's and we still are good buds. We met for dinner as we do every year and had a wonderful time!

Pattern papers and the die cut are from the Graphic 45 line "Botanical Tea". The ribbon, pearl and button are from my stash.
My next card is for another birthday coming up. I made a similar card not too long ago for a coworker's birthday and she loved it so I used the same papers and added a few different embellishments.

I believe the pattern papers are Prima but I'm not sure which line. I used it all up! The stick pin is Prima too. Olive green cardstock is Stampin Up. The coral ribbon, button and twine are from my stash and the cream colored pleated ribbon is Melissa Frances.

I just recently purchased one of the new framelits dies from Sizzix and have been playing around with it. I'll be posting some more cards here later this week. I love this die!
That is all I have for now. Have a wonderful Memorial Day weekend. Remember our troops!
