Happy Birthday


I finally got to make a card this week! Work's been keeping me busy and had guests visiting so I was taking them around.

Have a great weekend everyone!

Sponsor Spotlight at Lollipop Crafts

Hello! Today is Sponsor Spotlight at Lollipop Crafts! This week our wonderful sponsor is Karber Stamps. Here's some info about their company...

KARBER is a company created by Karla Barradas and Berenice Rendon. All began for passion to art and crafts, as friends we decided to join our different talents. In July 2010 that journey would lead us from hobby to a business and “Karber Digital Images” was created.  Recently, Karber Digital Images expanded to offer it's customers rubber stamps available through Sparkle Creations Store (http://www.shop-sparklecreationsrubberstamps.com/category/karber) and therefore,  have changed their name simply to Karber Stamps.  Visit Karber Stamps store at http://www.karberdigital.com/ or their blog at http://karbers.blogspot.com/.  


I made a card using an image from the Karber Strawberry set...had to make it since it's strawberries!! Got the sketch from here.
