It's my baby's 2nd birthday today!

*update* I am thrilled to be featured on the Lawn Fawn blog this week!

 I wanted to try out the Gina K Masking Magic Strips and thought I would use it the Lawn Fawn Snow One Like You mini stamp set to make a single layer card.

 I wanted to try out some purple trees using the Pinkfresh Studio Wintry Forest stencil for my friend's birthday card (who happens to love purple).

 My inspiration for these cards - if you can believe it - comes from a set on a show I have watched for years: The Young & The Restless! In their coffee shoppe, Crimson Lights, I have had my eye on some artwork in the background that is white sketched images on black, matted in white and then mounted on kraft. Admittedly, the images from the set also then have a final black mat around the whole image, but I didn't want to use up that much black cardstock - ha!

I set out to make some cards with the Simply Wonderful set from The Greetery. With the sentiments, I was hoping to make both Christmas + Birthday cards (to take up to Fullfill).
