First of all, I’d like to thank everyone for the birthday wishes yesterday. I truly do appreciate them all! And to add icing to the cake, the Design Team girls surprised me with a SURPRISE Birthday Blog Hop!  It was so much fun and their cards were fabulous! Thank you so much!!!  If you missed it, you can find all their fabulous creations at these links:

Now, as to the project at hand for today, I was super pleased to be able to re-stock a few items that have been long time favorites. Do any of you remember the small pads, 3″ x 6″, from Crafty Secrets called Image and Journal Notes? Can’t tell you how much I loved these little pads and relied on them heavily for quick cards.  I used them a ton going back four, five, six years.  Then Crafty Secrets went digital and I couldn’t get them anymore. Well, can you imagine my surprise and delight when I spotted a few of them last week.  I couldn’t place my order quickly enough. I do have some in stock now, not the variety that used to be available, but I got what I could. Here’s some samples to show you some of these GORGEOUS vintage themed images:

Crafty Secrets Image and Journal Notes – Birds and Botanicals

This is what the pads are like – 3 x 6″.  Most sheets feature an image on top with a journaling image on the bottom.

Here’s some card samples made several years ago:
