Wishing You a Very Happy Birthday

Good morning everyone :)  I have two cards for you today as I could not decide which room to use as inspiration for the Viva La Verve sketch this week.  Amber has been killing me lately with over the top gorgeous rooms.  So even with the little stamping time I've had lately, I just had to spend last Saturday making these :)  This first room grabbed me with those fabulous zebra chairs and leaf wallpaper....

Then came this card inspired by that gorgeous gray room with pops of rich colour...I don't usually say "gorgeous" and "grey"' together...and usually try to get rid of anything grey whether it's in my laundry or on my head!! LOL...but look at that room!!

The chair in the bottom righthand corner made me think of a damask design, hence the kiwi coloured damask panels...then pops of the other colours as well.  I traded the two little panels in the sketch for big bows...can you blame me?  I had some hot pink silk ribbon and had to use it after seeing the pops of raspberry in the photo :)  Two more days to go and then another weekend.  It's been a busy work week again...Open House last night at school, meeting lots of wonderful parents and a dinner meeting tonight.  But it's all good :)  Hope your week is going well, thanks for stopping by today :)
