PDCC #88-Happy Birthday!

Photo inspiration with colors of Redish/orange, yucky yellow, and juniper!

Hi All!

How's it going?  Hope your weekend is going well!  What a challenge over at The Play Date Cafe this week!  Those colors were quite the challenge for me!  My paper and button are reddish/orange, but the photo looks like they are more of a pink color.  Anyways, it was fun creating this card for a co-worker's birthday this month.  It sure is a steamy hot day today!  We are thinking of ordering a pizza and watching a movie.  Thank goodness for air conditioning!  Ok, thanks so much for visiting here today!  Take care and have a great weekend, hugs!!!:-))

  3. Wow....beautiful Maria! I love the shape and your stitching and the seam binding woven thru the frame is gorgeous! It's hot here too - so steamy that when I went outside my camera steamed up making it impossible to photograph anything - ditto with the AC! Have a great weekend! :)

  9. Your card is gorgeous!! Love all those pretty layers and ribbons. I also find it frustrating when the camera refuses to catch the 'real' colours of the card.

  12. Hello Maria! Thanks for popping by my blog the other day. :) It was so sweet of you to leave me some love.

    I've been praying for you and your mom. How are things going? I see you made a little time for yourself in the craft room, and it was a good day. :) THis card is utterly gorgeous. My fave treatment: the way you wove a ribbon through the die cut frame. Beautiful! Thanks for playing with us at THe Cafe. :)
