Saddle Up by Doodle Pantry

Today it is Happy Birthday to Ella, my 8-year old horse-loving granddaughter.  I made this card especially for her birthday using Saddle Up digi stamp from Doodle Pantry.    Here is Ella visiting a horse during a visit with Grandma and Grandpa.  I tried to color the card to look like this pretty horse.

The Stamps of Life "Snails2Mail"

 The August Stamp of the Month for The Stamps of Life was "snails2mail".  I made two cards with this cute set.  There are lots of possibilities with this little snail, but I decided that my first card would be a get-well card, and the second one, a birthday wish.  I paper pieced both snails.  Cute, huh?
