Masculine Birthday

 I went to my scraps to make this card, I keep all things after cutting things out just incase I can use them and this frame is one of them.  The background papers are many thin strips I had left over and the piece in the center is from a box.  The images are one from the junk journal stickers I bought on Amazon. Finished off with some gems, this one was hand delivered to one of our guy friends so I could use the bigger gems.

• Amazon - Junk Journal Stickers
• Basic Grey - Periphery paper
• Ecstasy Crafts - Happy Birthday Silver stickers
• Frame from left over of cutting out rectangle dies, corrugated cardboard
• Queen & Co. - Nightfall Gems

I would like to share my card today with Sisterhood of Crafters Challenge Frame it!

Thanks so much for taking the time to stop by,

Chirp for Joy

 I found this cardmaking magazine at Barnes and Nobles with many bird stamps inside and I just had to get it.  I colored him like a woodpecker since that is the bird I enjoy watching eating from our suet. I had to have something for the suet to hang from so I die cut a branch, added a brad to look like it is nailed to the branch and added some flowers.

Special Delivery

 I have a lot of male birthdays in my family in the Fall. I will try to separate them so I don't have all men's post and do the gals in between :) The grid in the background was stamped, and the notebook page. The only thing that isn't the 49 and Market dies is the paper and sticker I used on the front piece.

Good times

 I found this pack of cute die cuts at my stamp store and they just fell into my basket. I found a brad I thought would work with the tag, added the sentiment and popped up the little mouse.  Remembered some washi tape faux postage stamps and thought it went well so added that too :)
