Happy Tuesday!! :) Today I am gonna share a few photos of the FABULOUS birthday weekend I had!! :)

The kiddos and I met Steve in Seattle on Friday night.. we stayed at the Westin.. had dinner at Benihanas, went to Gameworks (for the kiddos..) then Saturday we got up.. went to Pike Place Market, out to Hard Rock Cafe for lunch... had cupcakes at Yellow Leaf Cupcake~ then home... later that night we went to the Totem Falls School Auction! Had a BLAST!!! Sunday went shopping with my Auntie Nancy and Amanda.. then out to Red Robin where some more family met up with us! It was a FABULOUS weekend.. I think today I am finally not feeling FULL! LOL!!!

Ok on with the show!!! These are the cards the kiddos made me.. sigh.. I LOVE them.. it warms my heart to see their creations.. and read their sweet words to me.. I will CHERISH them always!!!

Here are my buttons- I will be using them OFTEN!
here is just a few of the sheets I printed.. do you see the frame in the card.. it is below on the paper.. it is supposed to really have the post card in the center.. BUT I didnt want to do that..so I just pasted the cute PP over it.. and added the post mark, and xoxo tag! :) Fun fast and easy!

Vintage FOAM Buttons- Gift Card Holder

Ok so this was NOT on my todo list.. I NEED to make some birthday cards.. but do you ever have times when something POPS into your head and you MUST create it to get it out! LOL! That happened just this AM! I was NOT going to play along this week with PTIs Make It Monday Challenge #4.. but then this idea snuck in.. and wouldnt leave! So I WHIPPED it up.. and now am off to work on birthday cards! :)

Thought it would be FUN to make a VINTAGEY gift card holder! Wouldnt a fabric store gift card be PERFECT in it!! :) ANYWAY.. wanted it to feel like you found this little treasure tucked in your grandmas sewing supplies! :) Used foam for the bottom button! Inked them up REAL GOOD! :) added a PTI button and some twine!

Supplies- CS, Ribbon, Stamps, Inks, ribbon, aqua buttons- PTI (Tim Holtz distressed ink is used too!) FOAM- from Michaels , Flower Prima, Little Pearl Pin- by ME! :)
