Happy Birthday

Third post of the day... I feel like I've been busy bee today! I wanted to be sure to join the fun over at Lawnscaping challenges, they are celebrating their 100th challenge!!!

Here is my card for the challenge...

I used some distress ink to color the background for the die cut letters. Stamped the two birds on top with some musical notes so they are singing the birthday song! 

Here is a closer look at the birds so you can see the sparkle that I added.

I'm also going to add this to the Simon Says All Creatures Great and Small challenge.

Thanks for stopping by again! Have a great night/day!

Supplies:

Lawn Fawn- Dies (Cole's ABC's), stamps (Feathered Friends and Hats off to you)

Distress Ink- Picked Raspberry

Copics and Spica glitter pens

I heart fall

Just a quick little post to share a card I made and thought would be a good addition to the Simon Says Wednesday challenge. It's a "joy fold" card so the panel with the boy opens to the right and the panel with the leaves open to the left.

The patterned paper and leaf brads are some items from my stash. The white and brown cardstock are Recollections as is the twine. The cute boy is from CC Designs and I colored him with copic markers. The sentiment is from Lawn Fawn,

Thanks for stopping by, have a great weekend!

Hip Hip Hooray!

This card was made for my friend/neighbors son. He turned 7, though all the animals celebrating would be perfect. I used some glossy accents on the  balloon, the animals noses and the alligator. He just had to have shiny and wet skin! I will be adding the card to the Simon Says Stamp Wednesday challenge. I had so many ideas for this challenge that I wanted to try, but feel I'm starting to run out of time. Especially since I need to get busy if I plan to join in the CCC this month.

The challenge was "Let's be clear" and this is my card...

If any one is interested the image I used is part of a set from Close to My Heart, item number D1597. If you haven't heard of Close to My Heart, feel free to use this link to visit my friends site and look around.

Thanks for taking the time to stop by!

White/silver Snowflake card

 My house is really quite tonight with the husband out for the night and the boys visiting the grandparents this week. So I had time to work on a card when I got off of work today! There where a couple of challenges this week that worked for this card so I will link it to the following 3 challenges. 

W is for White

CAS-ology blog

and 

Merry Mondays Challenge

Here is my card:

I was having issues with my lighting so unfortunately it isn't the best picture. I used some dies from Memory Box and Simon Says Stamp. The paper is Neena solar white and silver glitter paper from Recollections. I love how the shimmer peeks out through the spaces on the snowflakes. 

Thanks for stopping by! Until next time...

Hello card

 The card I'm posting now will be good to add to two different challenges. The first one is Simon Says Monday challenge, this weeks theme is I should really use this more. With that in mind I decided to pull out my Perfect Pearls. I don't use them often enough and I love the color and shimmer they leave behind. I used heirloom gold and cappuccino Perfect pearls on the wood grain for the tag.

 The other challenge this will work for is CASology, the cue wood on their blog is Wood. So in addition to the wood grain tag, I've also used a wood veneer bicycle that I received in a card kit awhile back. I finished off the card with some pearls and gems scattering out of the basket for fun and called it a day.

Thanks for visiting, Have a great day!
