Just a little quickie to hold ya over...

I have lots of running around to do today so this will be super quick! 

Have you ever wanted to case a card and you sat down to try to do it but it just never comes out the way it should?  I can never make a card the same as I see it.  Maybe the base cards are different than what I start with ~ who knows...  But I cased these two cards (kinda) from the Splitcoast Gallery for the Party Hearty set HERE. 

I'm not sure who made the originals - I found them a while back and I was just getting around to making these cards last night.  This cards base is Pink Pirouette that I layered with Pixie Pink and some DP from the Sweet Always collection.  I so wish that I bought a lot more of that paper.  I added some stickles to the scallop border for a little more umpf...

This cards base is Pink Passion that I layered with some more Sweet Always DP, Chocolate Chip and Pumpkin Pie card stock.  I also tied the bow differently than I normally do.  I'm kinda handicap when it comes to bows.  I punched out the 'celebrate you' with my scallop circle punch and layered it on to a piece of Pumpkin Pie cs that I cut with my nesties.  The stickles were another touch I added.

I actually sat down last night and made 3 cards after dinner in the craft room.  It was SO nice.  It was a little warm ~ our AC is on the blink again.  Just about every year we have to replace a part on the unit because of lightening strikes in the area, and yes this is another year we have to.  I seen to just figure it into the finances like taxes every year...  It was actually warm enough that by the time I was done with the 2nd card the stickles on the first card were completely dry!!

That's all I have for now.  If I can get done soon enough today I will try to post again but I'm not promising anything.  Have a super great day!
