Let's Celebrate!


Yes, it is time for another A Muse Studio Blog Hop, and I am so glad that you could join us!

What better event to celebrate than a birthday! Of all the cards that I create, I think that I make birthday cards the most, and I really don't think that I am all that unusual. Everyone wants to be remembered on their birthday, and what better way than with a hand-made card.

In this creation I used the owl image as the central focus of the card, sitting on this little branch. Isn't he a cutie? The banner die I think added that "extra touch" of fun and dimension to the card, and I have a feeling that I am going to be using it quite a bit in the future.

The next stop on your journey is that of Sarah Callahan's blog, which you can visit right here.

Thanks for visiting and joining me on my Sentimental Journey in cardmaking. Please come back again soon!

Hello

-Doris

    So many of your creations require Copic markers. Man, oh man, I guess I can see where I need to invest in a few. Where to start though?

    Do you know, Doris, if A.Muse pricing plus s&h is better than that through ScrapbookPal.com?
