Happy Birthday Cutie

Hi, sorry I have been so absent in posting lately.  I think

I lost my mojo a bit.  Hopefully, I will get'back on track soon.

Today I have a card to share with you using a 

          SherriBaldy - Bestie stamp.  I had belonged to her monthly club for a

little bit so a have quite a few sets.  

I have had these stamps for several years and I have never

stamped and colored one  (hanging my head in shame😧),

so I finally did one as this one reminds me of my

great-granddaughter.

She is so much brighter and vibrant in person.  

I colored her using my Copic markers and details with Prisma

Pencils.  I framed her with a Gina Marie die.

The striped background paper is from DCWV Nana's Kids

stack.  It worked out perfect because this week over at 

the Retro Rubber Challenge is "Mad about Stripes".

Well, thanks for taking the time to stop by.  I will try and

get things posted more often.

A Purple Giraffe?

Hello, well here it is the 1st of February so it is time for

a new Crafty Awesomeness Challenge over at Crafting Circle.

This month our sponsor is 

Cute As A Button digital images.

I have a great-granddaughter's 6th birthday coming up so

I chose to use this cute giraffe

image.

I colored "her" using my Copic markers.  Fro some reason I never color

a giraffe a normal giraffe color lol.  My G-granddaughter loves purple

so purple it was.   

I cut him out using one of my new Gina Marie dies, I LOVE this 

Loopy Edge rectangle.  I embossed the pearl yellow background and added

a glitter panel down the center, after all, a little girl can't

have too much sparkle.

I cut a wavy ribbon banner out using my Cricut Explore

and then stamped it with a Unity Stamp from the 

So Glad you were Born set.

You have a whole month to create something for the 

Crafty Awesomeness challenge,

so come on over and join the fun.

A Bright Birthday Card

Hi, hope everyone has some great plans for the weekend.

I am here to day to share a card with you a made

using the bright papers from DCWV Nana's Kids stack.

This is an older stack but I have always like the cheerful colors

in it.

 I created this card following the sketch this week over at

Tuesday Morning sketches. 

The center panel is a piece cut out from a sheet of paper

in the Nana's Kids stack.  It made it super easy to

put this card together.

I stamped the sentiment using my MISTI and that was it.

Thanks for stopping by.

 This card will be the following challenges

Tuesday Morning - sketch

Birthday Wish

Hello all, I am back again today to share a birthday card with you.

I love playing along with sketch challenges and I ran across a new one last week called WHAT IF? Wednesday sketch challenge from The House that Stamps Built, a Repeat Impressions stamps blog.

I love the way the color combination looks.  I used papers from the DCWV Nana's Kids stack.  I embossed the white background with a Spellbinder M-Bossabilities reversible folder.  The white banner I embossed with the Cuttlebug folder birthdays.  When I went to adhere the wish sticker I notice that it was right after the word birthday from the folder, that was purely accidental.

I will be entering this in the WHAT IF? sketch challenge.  

Thanks for stopping by, if you like to do sketches head on  over to the WHAT IF challenge you have till February 18th to link your card.

Create a Critter ladybug

I made this card a while back for my Great-Granddaughters 3rd birthday.  It was my first card using Create a Critter and I just love this cartridge.  This card is a 5 x 5 square card, the green circle frame is pop dotted for dimension.  The papers are from DCWV Nana's Kids stack, perfect for "Nana Donna" to give one of her grandkids LOL.
