More Candles ... Bigger Cake!

I got this idea from Splitcoast to tear the piece of paper to make it look like the paper caught fire from all the candles on the cake. I added gold Stickles so it would stand out. This is a very old wood stamp by Art Impressions. I also paper pieced her dress with flamingo paper.

I love this set by Concord & 9th. My chemo buddy is graduating from her chemo sessions so this will be my final card for her. I have been with Chemo-Angels for about 8 years and as soon as one patient graduates, I sign up for another. You can find out about it here if you would like. I am a card angel but you can be any kind of angel you want. They match you with someone and you can get monthly updates from chemo-angels themselves but they are not required.

Snoopy in red/white/blue

I am doing very well since my ovary surgery a week ago. Bandages are off and my cysts tested benign so that was a relief that I didn't need a full hysterectomy. I walked for 30 minutes today at the park before it got to 100. We are currently in a heat wave and I am counting the days until Fall :).  I just ordered some new Halloween stamps from Unity Stamps last week and they should be here soon. I can't wait to start on my Halloween cards. My fave holiday for cards!!

I colored Snoopy's dog house in red/white/blue in honor of our 250th birthday for America!!

You're Top Dog! As in hotdog!!

A lot of hot dog lovers in my family so I knew I had to get this set by Hero Arts when it came out. Every boy will get this card in the coming months - not that I make "that many" boy cards but I think they will love this set on their cards.
