The Lunch Box Note and The B-Day Card!

Happy Monday!!! :) Hope you all had a FABULOUS weekend! We did! I finally got some photos printed from our trip.. I PLAN to scrap some today! :)

Had a couple things to share!! This is a lunch box note I made up for Amanda last week.. I am just LOVING stamping my own PP... I shouldnt I have so much other that needs to be used.. but it is just FUN to make your own using fun color combos!!!
Used almost ALL PTI ... been loving the look of the scallop circle BEHIND the strip of paper, so I did that here, and I cheated and used a cute cupcake sticker I got at Jo-Anns..(My girl LOVES cupcakes!) Colored my pearls with my copics to match!!

Next I made up this card for my BABY Brothers Birthday (which was yesterday.. HAPPY BIRTHDAY BOBBY!) Oh did I say BABY.. I meant my OLDER brother! ;) hee hee!!
Guy cards are hard for me.. they always seem to have stars.. and I know they probably dont want bling.. BUT my red stars needed SOMETHING.. so they got colored with copics to match my Hawaiian Shores Blue on this card!! Again stamped up my PP, and used my cricut to cut out the center!
My NEW PTI goodies should arrive on friday!! YIPPPEEE!!! So cant wait.. until then I guess I will just have to use what I have! I mean CLEAN.. that is what I meant to say HONEST! (that was just in case my hubby was reading this! ;)
Have a GREAT day.. THANKS for stopping by...

  18. Love both cards. The colours on your brother's card are so yummy. Just made a lunchbox note for my daughter this morning as they are busy writing exams so I wanted her to know I would be thinking of her and wishing her well.

  19. Bethie,

    Bobby LOVED his birthday card! It's the only one he has displayed on the dining room table for all of his friends to see.
    He also LOVED his gift card, shopping is in his blood (thanks Dede!)
    Have a great weekend - see you Saturday.
    LOVE, MOM
