I asked for the Pleasant Poppies stamp from Stampin' Up! for Christmas one year because I saw so many beautiful cards via Pinterest.
I got my inspiration from Stampin' Pretty.
I originally just wanted to make the card to have on hand, but then thought I could send it to OWH, but the button embelishment may be a bit to large for our heros to send. So I reworked it into this:

Starburst Card and I'm an OWH winner!

I decided to take a swing at the Starburst tutorial from OWH's tutorial page.
Here's my first card.
Paper: KI Memories - Enchanting
Fiskars scallop circle and 1" circle punch
Stamp: Sentiment is from Scrappy Moms - Owl Occassions; Owl is from Technique Tuesday - Wise Guys

 Here's my second card

The third card is my favorite overall.
I got the Owly ribbon at JoAnn and the sentiment is from Unity Itty Bitty - Thoughts of Who stamped on a Spellbinders Nestabilities.

I also wanted to share the goodies I won from OWH's Memorial Day blog hop!  Sandy was so sweet to put it so much awesome goodness!  (The yellow ribbon in the first card is some of what I won!)

A closer look at the stamps.  Lots from My Favorite Things and a set from Hero Arts for OWH!
Most of those small wood stamps are from Stampin' Up!.

 Some beautiful ribbons.

More ribbon,  punches, and embelishments.

Here are a few cards I made for my dear, sweet DH.

This was the Valentine's Day card I created.
My inspiration was from Cheryl Ann's Stamping Spot.

This next card was for DH's Birthday.
Inspiration here.

And we just celebrated our 5th wedding anniversary!  Here's the card I made for him.
