I made this card for my baby sister who had a bday last week. She was delighted with the bicycle because it reminded her of our childhood. I used to pop her little self into my bike basket and haul off to the local swimming pool. We practically lived there all summer - this was back in the day when a 13 year old could roam the city with a 5 year old in tow.... Our other sister plus our only brother (both younger than I) joined us for the fun. Guess you could call me the leader of the pack!
Next I have a card for friends' anniversary. I flipped through more of the PB transparent sets Jean sent and found this darling pair of birdies on a floral heart - perfect!

I created this card today & had to pop it into the mail right away. Please forgive the photo colors - it was an extremely gloomy day here! I had to edit a lot to get a yellowish cast off my white; the big flower was a deeper red in real life.
Thanks again to Jean for the goodies & for her inspiration over the years!! I'm sure I'll be back to post often using fun items she sent. And thanks to you for stopping by. Happy crafting!!

totally gorgeous cards Linda. Love the embossed background on your first card.
both cards are amazing, linda! love the embossed background on the first one!
2 wonderful cards, Linda! That bicycle is neat & love the story! It is amazing how we all survived--haha! When my brother & his friend were in grade school they rode their bikes down our road--kind of a country hiway--with their beeby guns strapped across their backs! Now days the police would be called for sure!
The heart card is a beauty--bet they love it!
These are fantastic! Your use of the Happy Birthday die is perfect - a wonderful combination. Your coloring on the heart is terrific and the card design is just right for the image! Wow!
Both so sweet!!!
Loved hearing about your adventures as kids, lol I'm remembering what Gillian and I used to do as kids and now as a parent it would put my heart crossways if our kids did the same things!! The birthday card is such a happy card with the colourful and fun bike image. I love the way you used the die for the background. Your anniversary card is so sweet and beautifully coloured! How sweet of Jean to have send you goodies from her stash!
