This is my place to share with family and friends. You might find handmade cards, digital scrapbook pages, photos or a little chatter because those are the things I love. My blog is a work in progress, so be patient with me. Most of the time I think I will be talking to myself, but hey, I'm used to that!

One more with a big "B"......

I dug out some of my old Stampin' Up! designer paper for this one. The printed paper is from the old Western Sky pack. I made the blue background by sanding some glossy paper and then brayering some Blue Bayou ink on it. The letter "B" is cut and adhered to chipboard using the Big Shot and the San Serif Essentials dies. I used the Word Window and the Scalloped Edge punches. I finished it off by adding some SU eyelets and Kraft ribbon. The birthday stamp in the word window is from Hero Arts. Thanks for looking!
