ink- honey and chocolate- CTMH
other- label punch- EK Sucess

{ happy birthday }

I recently won a huge box of goodies from the Traveling Mama. She was super generous and it was fun to sort through everything. One of the stamps was a really cool background stamp with some artsy hearts all in a row. I inked one of them and trimmed it out, mounting it to the card front where I stamped the woodgrain images. It sort of looks like some carved out initials on a tree. Then, I decided to fill the white space with repeated stamped images.

{ anniversary card }

http://caardvarks.blogspot.com/2010/10/penny-black.htmlI made this card for my sister and BIL who are celebrating their 8th wedding anniversary today! I pulled out a funny sentiment for the inside and decided it would go lovely with a set of stamps I had to have but haven't used yet. You understand, I'm sure. 

First, for the funny sentiment. This is a stamp I have had for YEARS.... probably 10 or more. It says Happy Anniversary from our little love nest to yours. 

 

The outside of the card has a little nest and the two love birds- this is what I had to have. The set was on sale, which means "it was meant" to be for me.

There we have it!  This card is being entered in the inside out challenge this week at Caardvarks
