Celebrate Your Day


A little more love today for Crate Paper's Emma's Shoppe 6x6 paper collection and the coordinating Eclectic Buttons I loved on a couple of days ago. Emma's Shoppe is just such a yummy collection! The sentiment is from JustRite's awesome all-purpose mini sentiment set Just Because. I die-cut it with a Spellbinders Ribbon Banners die, then gave the banner a pedestal by using just a portion of one of Spellbinders Elegant Posts dies. The birds are from Prima's Birdsong Script Collection. I originally intended this to be a birthday card, but the pair of birds sure gives it a wedding or anniversary feel, don't you think? More than okay, though, as I know a very special couple who will be celebrating forty-eight years of marriage in just a few days -- my parents.




Hope you're having a great week! I am, but I sure am finding stamp time hard to come by! Take care!!
