My Princess is Turning 5!

My daughter, Allison is turning 5 on Saturday. It is amazing how fast the time goes by!! She is such a fun and beautiful little girl. I am so blessed to be her mom. This is the birthday card I have made for her this year. I used the current sketch over at Mojo Monday's blog and Crafty Creations' Celebration Challenge. Isn't it fun?? The image is from the SU! set Crazy for Cupcakes . The DP has been in my stash for some time and I am not sure who makes it. I am not sure if you can tell in the picture, but I used Dazzling Diamonds fine glitter on the icing and flame to add that Bling that Allison loves so much!

Inspirational Card Sketch Challenge 24

I am lovin' the sketch over at Inspirational Card Sketch Challenge! (like always, Dawn has come up with a fantastic sketch to work with :)) I used SU's stamp set Thoughts and Prayers for the tree in this card. The DP and cardstock are also both from SU. That's it for now, gotta go get my son from camp!! Have a great day!

The Season Defined

Man... I sure do have a hard time getting started on Christmas in July cards! I had a hard time coming up with what I wanted to do for Stamptacular Sunday Challenge's Christmas in July challenge this week. Thank goodness my friend Cass on Card Makin Mamas posted a wonderful challenge!! She gave us a picture to use for inspiration... and it worked! I used the current sketch over at PaperTake Challenges for the layout. The DP was all RAKed and the cardstock is from SU!. The stamps are all from CTMH and they are called "The Season Defined"- I borrowed for my title!! I have not made a card in awhile that didn't include a character of some sort... it was kinda nice to do something different!! Thanks for stopping by!

Better Late than Never!

I am waaay late posting this card... it was for last week's Card Pattern 21 Challenge. I really, really loved this sketch!! I wish I could have gotten this submitted in time, but we were down at the lake celebrating the 4th. I used SU's Tea Party DP and the image is from The Greeting Farm. I used shimmery white paper even though it is really hard to tell in the picture.

The Sugar Bowl Sketch Challenge

The current challenge over at The Sugar Bowl is to follow Judy's Sketch and to include sparkle. WOW!! I love this sketch, but for some reason it was really hard for me!! I am finally happy with the outcome. I used my new Glitter Fun in the Sun stack for all of the DP and SU cardstock. I colored Flutter Anya with my copics, gel pens, and SU markers. The sparkle I chose to use was stickles on her wings. The sentiment was an RAK from my friend Carissa!! Thanks for stopping by!!

Delightful Sketches

I was on The Daily Dare blog and came across this new challenge. It is from Delightful Sketches- the challenges run for two weeks!! My Oh Baby set came in the mail today and I just had to use this sentiment. I also got to use my new Superstar Anya- too cute!! This post is going to be short and sweet- I had a very trying day in Mommy Land!
