Let's Party!

Hello & Happy March Everyone!

Spring is just around the corner!

Well... maybe not for everyone but where I

live the weather has been warming up!

In fact, next week is our Spring Vacation...

I still find it funny that our Spring Vacation is

technically still during Winter... But because of

our warm weather being out west, I guess it

makes sense, also with school ending in May.

They gotta fit it in there somewhere! LOL

So... This weeks theme is gonna be SHAKERS!

It's been a while since I made one or two of them

and my Sweet Dear friend Beth had a birthday recently

which got me on the idea of making shakers for the week!

This is the Birthday Shaker card I made for my Crafty friend Beth over

at Beth's Beauties blog - I was actually late... Usually, I'm on top of

things but sometimes I slip up! OOPS! :)

She did get the card and that's why I thought now would be

a great time to share it!

I used an assortment of Distress Oxides and blended

them together on a piece of white cardstock 

then I added some Gold Shimmer Sparkle spray to it

and then let it dry -

While it was drying I started to look through my

Birthday dies and thought I should use one I

have never used before and there it was from

Papertrey Ink called Text Block-Party Time

I bought it forever ago when they had a sale

thinking I would use it... NOPE! Not until recently!

This is why I'm not buying anymore crafting things

for a while... Too much nice stuff not getting used!

So I die cut it out and thought "SHAKER" is the way

to go! LOL, So I added an assortment of Sequins

and some fun foam and created it - I then die cut out a

Rectangle Postage Frame die from My Creative Time 

in Black cardstock - It totally made the shaker POP!

Since I already had Gold Shimmer on the shaker

I thought it would be best to add the Gold to the Black

cardstock too... then I added it to the White Cardbase

so everything would flow nicely -

Thanks for stopping by!

Have a FANTASTIC DAY!!!
