Here are a few birthday cards I made over two weeks ago ...
Both cards use the Vintage Vogue and Well Scripted stamp sets. I wanted to use the Vintage Vogue set and give it a more modern twist. I did so by using the Bold Brights color family by Stampin' Up!
Excuse my short post as I am still adjusting to the loss of my Mom. I hope that stamping and blogging will be a creative outlet for me as I go through this incredibly difficult time.

Love how you used Vintage Vogue on these cards - also love how that orange pops against the blue!

Kris -- Welcome back and we are all here for you. Stamping will help you heal. I never liked the Vintage Vogue set before, but the orange/blue is amazing! Hugs to you and Devlin.

Take your time. I hope your creativity will help you heal. You are amazing. Losing your mother is a BIG adjustment - I've been there and sometimes think it was just yesterday (it's been 15 years!).
