I just returned from vacation to a long list of "To Do's".  First up on the list was to create a card for my niece's baby shower that was today.   Since I was helping to give the shower, I had done alot of the things needed before I left for vacation and I left the last thing - the card for the gift for last.  So I got up early and created the card before I left for church this morning.  First, I'll share the card I created and then I'll share some of the other things I created for the shower too! I looked to Freshly Made Sketches to get me going.  I can always count on their sketches for a great starting point.   My niece is decorating the baby's room in an airplane theme so we decided to carry that theme out in the baby shower.  So, of course, my card was an airplane theme also. I used the Chevron Embossing Folder with the Whisper cardstock for the background.   The striped piece is the Outdoor Denim from our new Paper Fundamental...

Have you had a chance to check out the Holiday Gift Guide from Close To My Heart?  There is more in the guide than just Christmas items!  A few non Christmas items I fell in love are two very cute stamp sets - Banner Wishes and Charming Chevrons. Today has turned cold and dreary which goes right along with this very bad cold I caught!  I left work early and came home to sleep which did do some good.  This afternoon I made this bright cheery birthday card to chase those yucky blues away. I used Cotton Candy, Whisper, Pear and Honey Inks.  The sparkles around the chevrons are from the Sparkles Chevron Shapes (Z1909) .  They fit perfectly to the Charming Chevrons (A1150) . Banner Wishes (B1438)  completes my card with a few scattered Bitty Sparkles (Z1263) .

I believe this is probably one of the quickest cards I have ever made and it's so simple!  I used two new products that will be available October 15 in Close to My Heart's Holiday Gift Guide and the sketch from Unscripted Sketches . The three strips of washi tape are from the Party Washi Tape 3 pack (Z1908) .  I love these colors and the especially the woodgrain washi!  My stamp is from Banner Wishes (B1438) .   It contains the banner seen above and 6 sentiments - It's a Celebration, Best Wishes, Thank You, Happy Birthday, You're The Best and Congratulations.   All are different fonts and they all fit on the banner!
