Thank You Cards and Don't Forget About My Give-Away

I needed some Thank You Cards, so I made these (without using the Cricut...oh my...)...lol. I also entered them into the CropStop "Anything Goes" challenge. Here they are:

And a little closer:

Finished Card: 4 1/4" x 5 1/2"

Materials:
Cardstock: White, Red, Green, Yellow and Purple
Spellbinders Nestabilities Labels Four (2nd and 3rd largest)
Cuttlebug Embossing Folder Swiss Dots
Cuttlebug Embossing Folder D'Vine Swirls
Mounting Tape

I thought they came out nice. I like them in all the colors and with the different embossing. What do you think?

On my last post (Monday, August 22), I told you I am celebrating my Blog's Birthday this month, as well as my own birthday this weekend. (Woo Hoo!) I decided to have a give-away. So, if you would like to win, please go to my post on Monday, make sure you are a follower AND leave a comment answering my question of what I should do on my birthday. (Click here). Don't forget to leave me a way to contact you if you are the winner!

Thanks and Good luck!

imagine what you could do.....

I really like the way these cards turned out. Very Springy, I think. The sun was shining for a change today...maybe that's what inspired these cards. I also got a chance to go out to the vegetable garden and pull out all the dead stuff. (Yuck....) I found that I had some leftover vegetables from last year...a couple of carrots and a half dozen onions. Can't wait to get this year's crops started. I also got to plant some red Petunias in a pot for the front porch. Actually feel like I accomplished something this Saturday!

Well, enjoy the rest of the day...whether it is crafting, reading or gardening...imagine what you could do
