Birthday Whimsy Blue and Green

When I search around blogs and through galleries, I always find myself commenting on cards that have a great color combination. This is one of those color combos I love. I made this card a couple days ago to give to my buyer's club members and also gave one to my father-in-law for his 87th birthday!

I don't have time to post all of the details now....but the presents are from the Birthday Whimsy set from Sale-a-Bration (until March 17th). You get this set, or any other in the Sale-a-Bration catalog, for free when you place an order of $50 or more. The sentiment is a Hostess Level 1 set called For a Friend. When you place an order of $150, or have a workshop with orders over $150, this set or any of the level 1's are yours as well.

Pink and Brown Birthday Whimsy

Anybody who knows me can testify that I *love* pink and I love it even more when it is matched up with brown. And it uses my new *favorite* Berry Bliss Designer Paper. This was going to be one of the cards that we made at the Sale-a-Bration workshop. You can't tell from the photo, (unless you click on the photo for a close-up), but I used Crystal Effects on the pink plate to make it shiny like a real plate. I thought that was a mighty smart idea!
