Birthday Gratitude

Hello!! I feel just terrible posting this SOOO late ... but I couldnt NOT share my birthday gifts with all of you ;o) This was a special treat that I received from my SCS Sista' -- MissMike!! She is just soo creative AND thoughtful! My DH and I were out in her neck of the woods back in February and we got to hang out together for the day -- that was soo much fun -- I'm already planning on next Spring Sista ;o)

So for the deets of my fun gifts!!

Starting with the card - how cool! Michaeleen actually punched out circles to place on top of her printed cardstock. There are three eyelets in the upper left hand corner with three different colors of grosgrain ribbon tied thru them. The cute little sentiment is watercolored and popped up with stampin' dimensionals. I'll be CASE'ing this card layout fer' sure Sista ;o))

How about that adorable clip?? Great for holding a photo!! Sista Mike used a large black clippie that you can pick up at any office supply store or even at your local Wal-Mart or Target! She then covered the black portion (clip) with printed paper and added a few fun stamped images/saying to the front and tied a piece of ribbon around it and call it awesome ;o)

The other two little "T" keyrings are absolutely TREMENDOUSLY awesome ;o) These are little post it notes jazzed up - how cool is this idea??!! Like I said...Sista Mike is the most creative stamper I know ......


AND I am sooo honored to call her my Sista ;o) Once again I say my thanks to Splitcoaststampers for 'introducing us' -- its a friendship that I am sooo thankful for ;o)

I wanted to get these posted the day I got em' but my life has been full of SU! colors lately but just not stamping wise ;o) I've been painting my parents new house -- each room is a different SU! color -- and I'll be sharing those rooms with you soon -- just trying to get the finishing touches done in each room before snapping some pics ;o) Stay Tuned!!!
