Happiest birthday wishes dsp strip card

 I've used a sketch I saw from Julie Salva for my card today.  I didn't do mine exactly like the sketch because crafty girls do what they want and a sketch is only an inspirational starting point.  I hope you like how this turned out.  I was quite pleased with the result, and I think anyone would be happy to receive a birthday card like this.  To watch the video tutorial on how to put this card together, be sure to head on over to my YouTube channel to watch the replay.  You will find it by clicking this direct link.

Thinking of You garden bench card

 Hello and welcome back for another Gliding Garden Swing project.  Stampin' Up! issued a clean & simple card challenge for the month of March.  Now, anyone who knows me knows that I have a problem with simple cards....somehow they never stay simple.  It was explained that with this challenge, we should think about having white space, texture and cluster for the focal image.  This is the card I came up.  I think it meets the criteria, do you?  To see how I put this card together, head on over to my YouTube channel for the video tutorial.  You can find it by clicking this link.
