i was so excited [and slightly relieved!] when the spin on the inspiration wheel earlier today landed on birthday - because i definitely needed to make a card for a friend who is celebrating tomorrow!

do you ever have those ideas that you think are going to be money - like so amazing that there's no way they won't work out? and then you try them and they totally ... don't?

live and learn and take something away from it i say.

the spin on the inspiration wheel landed on birthday, and as i've mentioned before, i'm always happy to add birthday cards to my stash.

i combined a handful of elements on today's card and i think it turned out great! i'm excited to add it to the birthday collection, but first - here's some of the details.

#the100dayproject : handmade card 33/100-2 : congrats [big news]

Posted by Kerry Wills on October 25, 2020

the spin on the inspiration wheel for day 33 landed on all one company, ideally meaning that all the supplies i would use to create today's handmade card would come from just one company. i decided this was the perfect time to use some newer items in my stash and that i would add a card to a category i often get requests for: new baby! you will see that i ended up breaking my own rules and cheating a bit by using one supply not from the main company, but since i make the rules i decided it was okay. [anyone else think of who's line is it anyway? i often think about their catchphrase, "where the rules are made up and the points don't matter" - seems pretty fitting!]

mail it monday - one of a kind ink blended birthday card

Posted by Kerry Wills on October 19, 2020

happy monday friends! i hope your week is off to a marvelous start!

i'm super jazzed to share one of the cards that i made + mailed last week with you. sunday was my niece's 18th birthday [how?!] and i wanted to make her a card that was fun and colorful without being super kid-ish.
