I Brake for Sunflowers!

Hello and happy Saturday!

Today I'm sharing a fun summer birthday card.

I used

LARGE SUNFLOWER

from I Brake for Stamps.

Over at IBFS they have some really cool sunflower images.

Some are more traditional like the one I used and some are more "modern art" styles and even some stained glass.

I Brake for making the most of stamps!

Hello and happy Saturday!

Today I'm sharing the card that I made for my daughter's friend.  She graduates in two weeks but is having her party tomorrow to avoid all the party conflicts.

I wanted something bright since we're FINALLY starting to have some sunny weather in upstate N.Y.

I used 

LARGE SUNFLOWER

and 

A DAY TO REMEMBER 

on the front.

The verse is actually an anniversary stamp that I'masked of part of making it much more versatile.

On the inside I used

HAPPY GRADUATION

Courtney's such a sweet girl.  She has such a sunny disposition that I thought this stamp would be perfect for her!

Sunflower Sympathy

Hello and happy Saturday!

Today I'm sharing a sympathy card that was a special request from my husband.  About 7 yrs. ago he started traveling to Canada on business.  He made friends with a man who subcontracts with his company and whenever he goes up there they golf or go to dinner.  Unfortunately,  after a 7 yr. battle with brain cancer this man's wife passed away.  She was only 42.

Her favorite flower was the sunflower and her favorite colors were pink and aqua.  I was lucky enough to have a paper pad that was FULL of sunflower themed papers and many of them in this pretty aqua shade.  I also believe everything happens for a reason.  Last month when I placed my I Brake For Stamps order I chose almost exclusively flowers.  This LARGE SUNFLOWER was in my order.

I paired the flower with the verse WITH SYMPATHY.

Though my husband will tell people I'm a talented cardmaker he almost never comments on any card I make.  He told me at least 3 times how pretty and perfect this card would be for his friend.  I hope so.  I've met him and he's a wonderful person.  I can't believe he's going through this at only 40 yrs. old.

Here's a close up of the beautiful verse from IBFS.
