Good Saturday morning! I hope your weekend has started off with a bang 
. . . mine sure has! Today I finally get to tell you my big surprise . . . . I’m the May Guest Designer for Crafty Secrets! I’ve been talking with Sandy for some time now about guest designing, and we finally got it all together. I can’t begin to tell you how excited I am to be working with Crafty Secrets for the next month.
All week long Crafty Secrets has been celebrating National Scrapbooking Day and even though I’m coming into the game late, I wanted to play along with the Design Team today in their Photo Challenge. Vicki, Heidi, Linda, Melissa, Michelle and Flo will all be posting $50.00 Crafty Secrets Giveaways and you just need to leave a comment to be entered (and an email address in case you win).
I used a photo today from the Girlfriends Images & Journal Notes for my card.
And then the inside.
A perfect birthday card for one of my mother to send to one of her friends!
Once I had this card together, the left top looked a little bare to me so I went searching through my button collection. I love it when I find old buttons with the thread still attached!
- Images: Heartwarming Vintage Collection Girlfriends Images & Journal Notes from Crafty Secrets
- Paper: Soft Sky; Cream; Pink Paislee 365 Degrees from eclectic Paperie
- Ink: Ranger Antique Linen Distress Ink
- Accessories: Spellbinders™ S4-140 Petite Ovals – Small, S4-138 Petite Ovals – Large and S4-139 Petite Scalloped Ovals – Large; 1.25” Ivory 100% Silk and Pink Crocheted Lace May Arts Ribbon from Stamp Simply Ribbon Store; Sewing Machine; Vintage Buttons; Foam Mounting Tape
That’s it for my big news today . . . what a great adventure! I hope you have a fabulous weekend and thanks for stopping by! Remember, life is short . . . . Enjoy the adventures that come your way!

I love your card. I have started really loving this ‘shabby chic’ card style. I love the vintage, feminine feel. I especially love your cards. The growing old friends card is wonderful. And the card with the two younger ladies is priceless. TFS and keep crafting!
