Manly Monday green and blue presents Birthday Cards

I’m using that same Stampin Up birthday stamp set that I use a lot. The green card, the patterned paper is a Christmas paper by Bo Bunny. The scallop punch that matches the sentiment stamp is by Stampin Up. The die cuts are ones that I bought off of eBay. The deckled lines above and below the center strip on both cards are rub-ons by Die Cuts with a View. 

For the 2nd card uses blue card and has a Spellbinders die cut using patterned paper by Little Yellow Bicycle. The chipboard on top of the die cut is unknown and I fussy cut the stamped image of a present. This is taking me forever to write this post. I have to be done. Grammar errors and all. :)

Same present stamp set

1981~1983 Scrapbook pocket pages family album

There is a story that goes with these first two layouts. The short version is, there were family members that didn't want to look at these scrapbooks.
And I can’t make them. SO...
I had already finished the layout on the left. The 1982 page on the right was made after that occurrence.
Then I was told that I can't have my feelings hurt if people don't want to look at the Groh Boy books. I was only a jerk for the next couple of layouts. A friend strongly encouraged me to go back and add labels to these pages. I will when I'm ready to. 

The patterned paper in this layout are by Recollections, Craft Smith, Best Creations, and Carta Bella. The sentiment stamp is by Hero Arts. The name labels are alpha stamps from Lawn Fawn. The number stickers were by Pink Paislee. The Christmas trees and the arrow are cut out using my Cricut. The green rounded square is by Spellbinders which has been inked with green distress ink. The letter stickers are by Little Yellow Bicycle and word stickers were by SRM Stickers.

Recycled card base with oval cards

Today I have an upcycled card set. The "patterned paper" is a card that I recycled. It just so happened that the same card had two similar arrangements of flowers on the inside and outside on the bottom. They both needed to hide some text. This made for the perfect area for an oval die-cut. The oval die-cut is by Spellbinders. The sentiment stamp is by Hero Arts. The felt butterfly die-cut is by Little Yellow Bicycle

For the 2nd card,

The chipboard, which is the pink polka dot flower, and the yellow frame for the flower is by Making Memories.

The yellow with pink circle in the center flower is by The Paper Studio. 

The border sticker is by Doodlebug. 

These cards are certainly not my favorites but I made them so I should post them.

WERQ Friend Christmas Card scrapbook layout

Here's another layout for my Christmas Photo Cards Scrapbook.

The word "Friends" is vellum and is by Creative Memories

The circle punches are by Creative Memories. The letters and numbers are SU stamps stamped into each small circle. The zeros are buttons

The red patterned paper is by Little Yellow Bicycle and the green paper in the center is by Provo Craft.

I wanted to cover up a seam in the center of the layout.

 The translucent ribbon I pulled out was too see-thru. I needed something else to cover the seam but not take away from the green ribbon.

So I came up with this, I put the rick rack inside the center of the green ribbon and folded it in half.
I used a glue gun to adhere it all together and to the paper.
