Happy Birthday Popsicle Lady!

Hello Friends,
Here with a quick card share.  It is my beautiful and sweet Mother's birthday today!  She is truly the loveliest woman I have ever known and I am so honored to call her my Mom!  Happy Birthday Mom!

My Mom is known for handing out popsicles in the summertime especially after a day spent swimming and playing in the sun.  Here is the card that I made for her using the Cheery Lynn Designs Challenge #91 - Hot Time in the Summer for my inspiration.  I am also linking to a challenge on the CC Designs Blog.  Challenge #2.

I used the CC Designs stamp:  Birgitta with Popsicle and created the sentiment on my computer.  The sweet scalloped layer that Birgitta is stamped on as well as the paper mat behind it in bright pink are made using the Cheery Lynn Designs Rectangle-Scalloped Card Stackers.  I love the small scallops on these dies and use them often when I am coloring larger sized images.

The little pink "blingy" bow in her hair is from my new favorite ETSY shop - Fee Fee's Splendor.  So fun to add these to a card for gift giving!

 My son and I are on our way over to spend the afternoon with my sweet Mom right now.   Thanks for taking a look at my card!  Happy Weekend!
:) Jill

Edited to add:   It looks like I missed the deadline on the card challenge by 4 minutes...bummer...so you won't see my card linked over at the Cheery Lynn Blog this week!  Oops!  They changed the deadline to Saturday afternoons...boo hoo!  :)

I believe in Angels....

Hello Friends,
It is 7pm on Monday evening and I am finally over my migraine! Yeah! I have a card to share that I made earlier this week and a tag too...

I used a new Cheery Lynn Designs tree die and border die that I purchased from their summer release that just came out.  I love the little star and swish cut outs that are on this tree die.  So pretty!  I added some glitter glue with gold highlights in it so I can enter it into the latest Cheery Lynn Designs Challenge #90 - Silver and/or Gold.  I love the way the gold flecks sparkle in the above photo!  They are even prettier in person!

The card also uses some trendy twine in the color "Posy" (soft pink and cream) which I won on a recent Facebook giveaway!  So sweet!   

Here is another picture which shows the gold glitter effect on the tree better.  And also shows the tag again with the tiny angel wings that I created from the "leftover" cutouts in the Sofia's Heart Border Die.  Now I can make baby angel wings any time I want them.  The Sofia's Heart Doily Die makes slightly bigger angel wings  so you can depict a mother/child or family of angels if you want.  Love this!

Thanks for taking a  look at my card and tag!
:) Jill
