Happy birthday x2!

Today is my teammate (from the Mixed Media Monthly Challenge) Rachel's birthday and the other team members and I wanted to do something special for her. If you haven't visited her blog, you should check it out, she is very talented!  She makes a lot of cards---and let me tell you, even though sometimes cards look easy to make, they are so, so hard for me to do, so I admire all cardmakers!

Tomorrow is also a special day for someone close to me...my mom! So I made her a card, too :) She is a wonderful mom and has always been so very supportive of me and my art, even driving me down to a workshop in North Carolina recently!

Here are my birthday cards:



Credit for the top card actually goes to my friend Chris, a Stampin' Up demonstrator who gives wonderful workshops where we create a mix of cards that she has pre-designed for us. I just love the ombre fringe effect.

And of course the mixed-media one is mine. I tried to keep it simple, which is the hardest part for me, I just want to keep layering things on.

You probably came here from Donna's blog, but if not, feel free to head over there and/or the Mixed Media Monthly Challenge blog for more projects and links.
If you want to continue the birthday blog hop, then hop on over to the other Lynn--Lynn K's blog for another project.

As always, thanks for stopping by!

Awesome card Lynn! I love the fringe on that first one, makes me want to pull out my scissors that do that and use them again! The second one is a great mixed media card - love the colors and the background!

Lovely cards Lynn but the 2nd is my fave. It's just stunning (and uses one of my favorite color combinations).
