I Brake for Lakes!

Hello and happy Saturday!

Best day of the week isn't it?  Today I'm jumping the gun a little bit.  My husband's birthday is in August and we always return to the lake he grew up on to rent a cottage for his birthday week.  When I saw these recent releases at I Brake For Stamps I jumped all over them!!  Then, when my husband went to China for 2 weeks on business I had some free (private) time to craft and so I took advantage of that and made his card now.

I used two new releases called CANOE SCENE and PADDLE FRAME.

On the inside I used the birthday verse from BOTANICAL.

I just know he's going to love this card.  Now I just have to keep it hidden for the next few months...and remember where I put it when it's time to pack for the trip.

I Brake For Ghosts!

Hello and happy Saturday!

Today, for the second week in a row I'm sharing a holiday card.  Last week however was a Christmas card.

This time it's Halloween!

I love this little ghost.  I think he was one of the very first stamps I ever owned from I Brake For Stamps.  His name is very easy to remember...GHOST.

I know you don't normally think of a ghost as being sweet but I think he is.

Wouldn't you smile if this little guy showed up at your door?

I Brake For Large Lighthouses!

Hello and happy Saturday!

I have a friend who asks for at least 2 nautical themed cards a year.  I haven't made one in a while so I'm sure she must have one of the birthdays coming up soon.  I figured I'd get a jump and have it ready for her when she asks.  I just love this LARGE LIGHTHOUSE so much.  It makes a very pretty sympathy card too.  For this card though I paired it with two verses from the EVERY DAY PHRASES set to make a birthday card.

Even though I think this is definitely masculine enough to give to a man it could easily be for a woman too.
