Happy Birthday Queen Victoria

Happy May long to everyone! I hope you are enjoying your weekend!!!! Lots of great camping, backyard BBQ's, and boating photos to scrapbook soon I'm sure. The weather is gorgeous! Sorry I didn't post yesterday. We were working hard to get Doodlebug out on the shelves. And here are some shots for you to see just how much of it we got! Those photos I took the other day just don't do it justice to the amount of choice there really is. Look at all this paper! There's still another rack of it that didn't make the cut for the photo too! 12 colour choices, 4 regular patterned papers in dots, stripes, florals and filagree, one decorative flocked paper and one regular flocked paper. Wow, it makes my heart race I'm so excited. There's glittery papers that coordinate shipping in approx. one months time as well. Is it bad to want one of everything? haha. Here's the flocked brads, bottles of flock, and glitter multipack. There's some mini rubons and some glitter brads etc from before in this area as well. I love Doodlebug because they always release the same colours, so you can easily mix your old with the new. So ingenious of them.

And now, more contest entries. You guys are all amazing, seriously. Thanks for entering. I know I've said this a thousand times now, but I love your work. Everyone's got their own style and it's great to see it.
Amanada Cromer emailed us in this lovely shot. She used to live in FSJ, but has since moved away. Her daughter made this fruit cup as a Mother's Day Gift. They took the bottom off the can to clean it out and fill it again with yummy chocolates! What a great idea!!! Michelle Steiner is card-maker extrodinare! She really pays attention to every little detail. The little biridie is a Hero Arts stamp. She also stamped "to one of my favorite Peeps". The "Happy Bird Day" and "Tweet Wishes" are printed off the computer. Lots of QK on this card as well.

Cheryl Pauls created this card. What a great masculine card! The 3 brads help to balance the large deer stamped image. Great use of stamps for the background here as well.
This little bunny was stamped by Danielle Pauls. The cute image is really softened by the organza ribbon.
The lovely Jane Cullen created this layout with Basic Grey paper. I love the mix of embellishments on here as well.
Violet Canning brought in this great card. This could work for a male or female birthday. It's awesome that she took it a little further and stamped the envelope as well.

I want to aplogise to whomever this layout belongs to - we forgot to write down your name! Please let us know so we can give appropriate credit! This layout is a great example of using stamps where you might not have other embellishments that fit your theme.

I should mention that if you'd like a better view of any of the projets you just need to click on the photo for a much larger shot.
