A Little More Birthday...

So - the cards just keep coming - and the celebrating just keeps happening - best birthday ever!!!  This card is from my newest recruit, Kelea.  It's been great getting to know here, and try to answer her questions - thanks for the "party" card and the coffee girl!!!
Next card is from my downline, Paula.  I love just about everything she makes.  Her style is much like my own.  This card is no exception - so pretty - soft colors, flowers, wood, wreaths - what more could you ask for :)
The next is from my downline, Sarah.  This is also so my style - I love clean lines - and this has that.  All the beautiful swatches of color and patterns - just makes me smile.  The hexagons are gone - but the card is beautiful.
Thanks Ladies - but stop back - there are more!!!!  ~Maureen

And the Birthday Celebration continues -

Shannon West at Stampin' Up! headquarters started a "imbringingbirthdaysback" campaign this year encouraging each of us to mail a beautiful handmade card to our friends and family rather than just leave a facebook message - which has become so easy.  As you know I took her to heart and have sent a birthday card to anyone requesting one.  That offer continues - if you'd like to receive a card - just send me your name, address and date of birth MM/DD to my email on the sidebar - and I'll be sure to send you one.  Judging from the many beautiful cards I received this year- my friends and downline have also adopted the "imbringingbirthdaysback" campaign.  So the birthday cards continue - and make me smile!!  This first card is from my downline, Lisa H.  It uses everyone's favorite- Swirly Birds.  I absolutely love the colors and that POP of black - such a fun card!!!
My next card is from my downline and friend, Meg.  I this it is a birthday card that just elicits happy wishes - balloons, bows, ruffles and ice cream (plus a little bling).  This card is so feminine - I'm gonna have to case it for my grand-daughters I think :)
And today's third beautiful card is from my downline, Nelly.  This is so my kind of card - cute and clean.  The colors are amazing and happy, and her flower has so much dimension.  Happy card for happy wishes - what could be better. 
But - I'm not done - there are more and more and maybe more!!! I hope all of these lovely cards are inspiring you to get your supplies out and start stamping!!  ~Maureen

Three more beautiful cards ...

Today's birthday cards all come from three of my downline.  The first uses some bold, bright patterns of color - and I especially love how the Black circle pops the greeting!  This beauty was made by Jean B.

The second one comes from Jeri - and I love it!  It's from the Watercolor Wishes card kits.  Our card kits make it so easy for you to make a bunch of lovely cards in no time at all - and this is a great example.

My final card today if from Kathy B.  This flower is no longer available - although when it was it was a favorite of mine - and she knows my favorite color is yellow.  We have several current flower in the catalog that could be used to duplicate this look.  So pretty with a wink of glimmer!

I received so many amazing birthday cards this year - and hope you can use them as inspiration - more to come so stop by soon!  ~Maureen

Still fighting with computer and more Birthday cards :)

So - I've been trying to post for a couple days - and hopefully this time will work.  Computer has been crashing  -  did another check disc and clean up yesterday - so seems a little better. The card below was made by my friend Amy - she used the Swirly Bird set - if you do not have this set - it is a must have!!!  So pretty and versatile - amazing cards every time.
And this beauty below was made by my downline Harriett.  Speaking of must haves - Jar of Love is also an amazing set - and every card I see makes me want it more.  It's on my next order - really!!!
Hopefully things will keep working and I'll post again soon!  ~Maureen

Posting Again - the woe of computers ----

So it's been nearly two weeks since I posted - not by choice - but by necessity.  I am not sure why, but my computer has been giving us tons of trouble the past couple weeks.  Mainly - just crashing in the middle of whatever we are doing - by mostly - just crashing every time I tried to blog.  We've done so clean-up on it, and so tonight - so far, so good.  Since it's been awhile - I'll be playing a little catch-up.  Thought I'd start by sharing my birthday and some amazing hand-made cards with you all.
So here I am starting my birthday celebration with breakfast at Denny's and my first ever picture with a pancake.  So much fun - and got the day off to a great start!!



The beautiful card above was made with the Swirly Bird set and dies by my downline Betty!  I love it.  I have seen tons of cards made with this set - but this color combo is a new one for me. 
This next card was made by my Sister-in-law and friend, Elaine.  She used a base from a recent Paper Pumpkin kit that was very masculine, but turned it around and made this lovely feminine card out of it.  So pretty.  Stop back during the next week to see more card ideas from my talented friends, that I received for my birthday!!  See you soon - if my computer holds out :)  ~Maureen

Foxy - cuteness!

I am in LOVE with this new set "Foxy Friends" from Stampin Up!  It comes alone, or in a bundle with the Fox Builder Punch.  Either way - you can make some adorable projects with it.  Here's a card I submitted for a color challenge with my upline.  It uses a couple of our brand new in-colors, Peekaboo Peach and Flirty Flamingo.  Also, the sentiment is from the Oh Happy Day Card Kit!
There is so much more to this set - besides the fox you can make raccoons, deer, skunks and more.  Plus the little mushrooms, garland, tree stump and hearts.  Pretty "stinkin" cute!  We're making this card at my cards class Tuesday too - hope they like it!  ~Maureen
