Tag Archives: Just Believe Stampin’ Up! stamp set

Time for birthday cards!  I really can make simple cards!  This one wasn’t a fun fold just a simple one, but I think the monochromatic look gives it a wow factor.

For our friend Dan!

For Paul!

Christine’s valentine card for the shoebox event must have given you a bug for buttons!

Yes, Sal!  Before her card – see it here – I hadn’t used a button for years but I have a huge stash of them so I experimented and really liked the result.

Paul received a card from Jo and Dan and it was so fun!  He is looking forward to fishing trips this summer and Jo capitalized on his love of fishing.  The pole has a layer of gold foil and the hooks on the outside and inside are silver foil but the camera didn’t ‘catch’ those details.

For Paul’s birthday we spent the weekend in Breckenridge, CO.  It was spring break for many so the town was crowded but still fun to ride a gondola from where we were staying up on the mountain to the downtown restaurant.  Stacia, Jonathan, Emma and Joey met us for supper Friday night.  They live in Steamboat so they could have supper and then drive home.  We had an evening meal here before we left with Amber, Tyler, Jaxson & Emmitt since it was too far for them to drive.

Swiss Haven fondue supper!

Dessert time!

Paul’s birthday was well celebrated and I know he felt loved!

Thanks for stopping by!
