Well, it's such exceptional weather that I've been outside almost all day. But it's the first Saturday this month that I've even been at home for the day, so I did want to play along with the IC. I found THIS cover, which I really like. It made a quick OLC card.
The base is light grey/blue. I stamped the birthday stamps from Lots of Thoughts on with black for the large print and lavender for the small. The one and only box of chipboard I couldn't find was the one with accents in it, so I cut the bracket from black card using the Labels 1 Nestabilities and just shifting the square over and cutting again. Then I stamped another birthday sentiment from Hero Arts. The balloon from Birthday Whimsy in pink came next, and I felt it needed a string, even though there isn't one on the book cover, so I just drew one in.
Thanks, Stef .

I liked that cover, too. Love your take on it, Sabrina! Very cheerful. And thanks for the comment about a summer wedding card. I never thought about that and I have a wedding coming up in August! You are awesome, thanks!
