First of all, Happy Birthday to my youngest daughter Maryanne! Have to run out to get a cake mix for the traditional yellow cake and blue buttercream icing…
It’s so much fun to be able to make a card using dies that I designed! The flower was die cut from a sheet of pretty pink gingham tissue paper and the leaves I cut from this cool grocery bag type fabric found at JoAnn’s which I have not been able to find again and am kicking myself that I didn’t get more.
Blessings, love and hope for a great year to my beautiful daughter!
This week I have been hard at work in my studio brainstorming and drawing die designs for 2013. It’s hard to imagine working that far out but it takes a long time for the finished product to be designed, tested, produced and on the shelf.
I also received a box of sample dies that will come out at the CHA Summer 12 show. Thankfully they all work- I am always nervous that they won’t, even though I test them several times before sending the artwork.
I’ll be back blogging more often once these dies are finished and on their way! Hope you all have a nice long weekend!

SO simple and cute… Happy birthday to your Maryanne!
Happy Birthday to MA! I can guarantee you’re further along than me on the die designs – most of mine are still scrawled on a notepad! And I’m jealous that you got your QC dies for summer!
Happiest of Birthday Wishes to your daughter 🙂
I know the feeling of crunch time–too bad we’re not closer so we can go out to celebrate after it’s all done <3
Thanks for the anniversary wishes. Of course, I was thinking of Maryanne, too! Hope her day was GRAND! Love your beautiful card design…cool flower and beautiful green fabric material for the leaves! Miss you, friend!
