Happy Birthday Faith

Well I have been gone to Yellowstone for a wonderful trip with my Hubby but I'm happy to be back.  I have a niece that is working for one year in Japan. Her name is Faith and she was born on the 4th of July.  How fun is that.  She will be gone for her first holiday and birthday so I'm sending off lots of happy wishes for her.  I will enter this card in Seize the Birthday.  Thanks for stopping by.

Kitty love

Love this little cat.. wishing someone a purr-fectly Happy Birthday.  I've been very busy with grandchildren and painting but this little guy wanted to get out of the camera and onto my blog so I'm letting him run off to Seize the Birthday and Send A Smile 4 Kids.

Yellow equals sunshine to me .. hope it's sunny where you are.  Thanks for stopping in.

Patriotic time of year SSCB#56

With Memorial Day just over and July 4th on the way my mind was thinking Red White and Blue.  I love this Serendipity pinwheel its so festive.  We had a great Memorial Day.. it was my birthday weekend and I have always enjoyed my whole country celebrating my day with me  :)  As kids we used to have my mother's family reunion on Memorial Day and all the cousins and friends would come.. we had way too much fun.  Hope your day was blessed.

I am joining Serendipity for their challenge with this card.. "background stamping."

Papertrey May Blog Hop Challenge

Well this isn't too CASE but it's kind of like the  challenge photo..

I had only a large image but I liked the Hydrangea so I went with it but did just the six images instead of the nine.  It came out ok.. I'll keep it  :)

I made this for the MIM Blog Hop
