Birthdays

For Christmas, I received the envelope punch board, and I LOVE it!!!  Not only is it easy, you can make envelopes in practically any size.  Which means, you can make an envelope for a card, and then make a matching (super cute) little envelope to hold the gift!!

 My best friends birthday is tomorrow and I made her some earrings. And then I made an adorable little envelope to match the one I made for her birthday card.  So cute!  And while we are talking about adorable, did you see those roses on the card?  I made them using this tutorial I found on Pinterest.  And I even managed to pull in an item from my bits and pieces stash: the scalloped green oval.
