Simple Thank You Card

Just got back from Dallas... had a wonderful time visiting family and my sweet friend Cassi Rae! We even had the chance to have a little fun and relaxation on the lake!

And Friday was the last day of my 21 day diet, woo hoo! I lost 10 lbs, which sure feels great!

Have a card class tomorrow, but this time we each had to design a card to teach. I can't wait to tell y'll all about it and show ya'll the other wonderful creations! We had to keep it sweet and simple so here is what I came up with!

Party Invites

So as you know, my family came into town this past weekend to help me make some card kits and we had so much fun. On top of all the excitement, I also designed my sister's birthday invites. She is going for a vintage black and white theme with a pop of color(red). She also wanted there to be a bird and an anchor on the invite somewhere.

I decided to make a hinged invite, thought it would be something different and fun! So I bet your ready to see it! Here it is!

















Don't you just LOVE how it turned out? Just lovely! Hope you all enjoy!
