Go Green with Birthday Sundaes!

Good morning!  Did you remember to turn your clocks ahead?  I am so excited about it staying lighter later!

Today's Birthday Sundaes challenge is to create a birthday card and USE GREEN on it! Don't forget a birthday sentiment/wording on your card front.

This week we are sponsored by Bugaboo Stamps - check out all the details {HERE}!

Here is my creation for the week, a very quick and easy card. Some stickers, punches, paper and I quickly whipped this up.

It's not my favorite ever but I didn't have time to color an image and I didn't want to skip another week. The paper is from the K&Company Poppyseed paper pad.

Lots to do today so off I go! Hoping to get in my craft room after I get some housework done!

May LOAD Days 17-20

I've been scrapping so late every night that I haven't had time to type up the blog posts for these! Less than 2 weeks to go now, I'm so happy that I've made it this far!

This is Day 17...used one of the sketches from the 28 Sketches Class.

Paper from a K&Co paper pad and embellishments all from my stash!

This picture is from when Mike and I were dating a few years ago. :)

This is Day 18...some pictures from a fall drive in CT. I have no idea where we were. I need to show Mike because he will remember!  Paper is from a DCWV stack, it was perfect since it already had a title on it. I added some Cosmo Cricket stickers for the date and a few Basic Grey Pyrus embellishments. 

This is Day 19...pictures from the 2008 Big E. Love seeing the different butter sculptures when I go. The title is the name of the sculpture. Thank goodness for Google!  I didn't know what to title the page and Google came to the rescue. I was also able to find the artist's name which was nice to add. 

This is Day 20. I used SBSC283 for the layout, it worked out great for my pictures! I had them sitting out on my desk all week and didn't know what to do with them. As soon as I saw the sketch on Friday, everything came together! I love when that happens! More paper and embellies from my stash!

I'll be back with Day 21 shortly. It's for a challenge so I want to post it separately or else it would get lost here!

My Last DT post for Lasting Memories

{Please scroll down to see my Birthday Sundaes challenge post}

Happy Easter!  I hope everyone has a wonderful day!

Today I bring you my last post as a Design Team Member for Lasting Memories. I have truly enjoyed my 2nd time around as a designer but have decided not to renew as to give someone new the same chance I was given two terms ago by Karen.

This week we have a sketch challenge for you. I decided to use the pictures that I didn't get a chance to scrap for our Easter challenge last week.

I used some very old stash on this page! The background paper is from an old DCWV spring stack.  They don't appear to be making the huge seasonal stacks anymore...which is probably a good thing LOL! The title and ribbon are printed right on the paper, so cool! The tiny borders around the small pictures are from an old sticker sheet by K&Company and the bunny & eggs are stickers from Doodlebug Designs. I drew in some grass with my copics.

Here is the sketch~

Flutter By Wednesday #146

Happy Wednesday!

Today's Flutter By Wednesday's challenge is to use green and/or a sketch by Carly, along with a butterfly, fairy or angel! You can see the sketch HERE on the FBW challenge blog.

I decided to do the green challenge. I was moving things around in my room and found these Poppyseed papers by K & Company, perfect for what I had in mind!

The pretty daffodills are from the Digi Doodle Shop, a newer to me digi company. I've had them printed out for weeks and since spring is on my mind, here they are finally on a card!

Lasting Memories Challenge #9

Today's Lasting Memories Challenge is to use fancy folds or folders (pockets) on your pages. I have to admit, I was a little stumped at first. Check out the challenge HERE to see the challenge details and links to some ideas.

I remembered that I bought some folders at Target quite some time ago on clearance, amazingly enough I was able to find them and all the coordinating elements on my page in record time. If you saw my room, you'd know why this is amazing LOL

This is my adorable niece, Grace, who was 4 months old in the pics - she's over 2 now!

To play along, please link your challenge HERE and while you are there, check out what the rest of the team has made!

Have a great day!

Pink Christmas

I spent the weekend making Christmas cards (1o altogether - some single, some multiples) and this is one of them.


I finally used my Squigglefly Shy Bear - Ornament Bear, isn't she adorable? I thought she would look good in pink, so I found this K & Company paper that I bought last year after Christmas. It's called Peppermint Twist :)

Thanks for looking! Once I photograph the rest of the cards, I'll share them throughout the week!
