First Birthday Wishes

I've been meaning to share this card I made for our friend. It has been amazing to make memories with one of my childhood friends and our babies this year who are 2 1/2 months apart. Sunflowers hold a special place in my heart so I was beyond excited to see this new paper collection release from Close To My Heart to kick off our next idea book. It is one of my favourites that I have seen come out in the past few years! This card features a few of our newest products -

Grateful Heart paper collection + Stitched Hearts dies + Gold Tinsel embossing powder

Paper - Grateful Heart paper collection; Saffron, Kraft, Black cardstock (CTMH);

Stamps - Just A Number, Framework Alphabet, Alphabets (CTMH);

Dies - Stitched Hearts, Basic Hearts (CTMH);

Embossing Powder - Seafoam White, Tinsel Gold (Ranger);

Embellishments - Twine (PTI).

As I have mentioned before, one of my goals this year is to support and shop more local shoppes and handmade items. I came across a fabulous shoppe called Timber Child a few months ago. They make the sweetest children's wooden plates out of Canadian Maple Wood and pledge to use only 100% Canadian materials - that's awesome! And the best part is that they are located right here in British Columbia. I was so happy with the cute little fox plate we got our son to celebrate his move to solid foods that we gave one to our friend for her birthday too.
