Birthday: Hello Sweet

This month's challenge was difficult for me.  I seldom use DSP, but this sketch seemed to need it.  Fortunately, I had a couple of sheets of paper that I was able to use.

Colors:
Calypso Coral
White

Stamps:
Happy birthday

Other:
Designer paper from my stash
Buttons
Punch - word window

Christmas: Ornamental Pine and a Santa Picture!

The four children with Santa are my grandchildren; the oldest is 12 years old and the youngest is 3 months.  Life is good.

The picture is attached by using a corner punch that makes a slot for the picture to slide into.  A great punch to have.

Valentine's: Sky is the Limit

Aaron made this card for her friend, Lee.  She experimented a bit by layering the "love" thinlet is both Cherry Cobbler with the Crumb Cake.  I like the look.

Birthday: Window Box in Oranges

Similar card, but I sponged the background colors.  I like the sponged look much better; it looks smoother.

Birthday: Window Box in Pinks

Update:  After this was published, I took off two of the four little flowers on the top.

The Window Box thinlet dies are quite versatile.  This card uses the hexagonal floral die that could be used for the box for the negative cut.  I used stamps (Simple Shapes) to color the background, but I had to use markers and a blender pen to blend the colors.  I will try sponging the next card.
