Sweet Ice Cream Birthday Wishes

I loved putting this cheery card together! Using three of the new In Colors made coordination easy.
My two very favourite ones are the fabulous Polished Pink and the Cinnamon Cider.

Do you have favourites, yet?

I did this fun fold fancy card on my Live@9 over on my Facebook page 

I go Live@9 MT each week night, pulling together cards created from inspiration garnered minutes ahead, so the Lives are very impromptu! (add some bad internet connectivity to the mix and it's a little chaotic! enticed yet to check it out?! : / There is usually laughter, though!)

I really love the way this card works and comes together pretty simply! 

Cutting away a couple panels from the front of the card, straight up and then off the top gives it just a little WOW. I added a layer of DSP (patterned paper) across the entire 'inside' of the card, with a sentiment block that is hidden when the card is closed. I tied some of the beautiful ribbon around the center panel, and extended the size of the front of the card back out with a horizontal panel. 

I am offering a Ribbon Share for $11. 

10 yards, 2 yards each of the 5 In Colors Open Weave ribbon.

$13 and I will pop it in the mail to you anywhere in Canada!

thank you for stopping by!

Smiles,

Laurie

Eating ice cream — Syttende Mai

May 17th is Syttende Mai, Norway's Independence day. Celebrations include festivals, parades, eating and is one day where the kids get to eat pretty much as many ice creams as they want. They do this even if the weather is sleeting in Norway. My Mom holds up her heritage well in this department, she loves her icecream, enjoying it all the year through, sometimes instead of a meal!

I decided to work with the wonderful Sweet Ice Cream set from the Jan-June catalogue. A set that I am quite happy to see crossover to the new Annual Catalogue! Between the 'sweet' images and the fabulous font on the sentiments, I've fallen in Love. The possibilities and versatility of the set is great!

so to all the Norwegians, this Cone is for you!
