Happy 16th Birthday Madison!!!!!

Hi everyone!!!

Today I am a guest designer on Madison's Blog Funky Cards.  Stop by there and show her some love :)  We are celebrating her 16th birthday and I am SO thrilled and honored to be a part of this AWESOME birthday celebration!  Her mom, Cindy, is amazing and put all this together for her...  SWEEEEEEET!!!!!!!!!!!!

Sweet Madison, may the Lord give you the desires of your heart.....and may all your most precious dreams come true.....  Happy birthday...

Below is a necklace that I made for Madison and a magnet.

*Necklace is made from copper beads, sterling silver wire and chain, crystal beads, metal clasp.

*Magnet is a cardboard base that I covered with DP and CS (in the back).  I then printed out a bible verse on adhesive vellum using my computer.  Finished off with magnet strips on the back.

much love and hugs and a VERY happy birthday!

My birthday project is really a pre-birthday project :)  My in-laws are hard to buy for as they have EVERYTHING!  SO...I made them a mailbox for their birthday gift requests.  The little slot can take papers 3" wide :)  I used my cricut to cut the pattern.  It is from www.svgcuts.com and it was used for a valentine's mailbox, but I can see uses for this adorable pattern all year round :)  E-mail me if y'all have any questions about this project :)

When worried, I make cards...

Hi everyone!  Happy Sunday to you!
I am stressing waiting to hear news of my MIL who was taken to the ambulance this evening.  So, I made two cards to help calm my mind.  It helped, sort of, not quite, not...  Anyway, I ended up making two cards instead of chewing my nails off...  I CASED the second card, but from where, I cannot remember.  If you know, please let me know so I can give proper credit :)
