Here is my card~

I just LOVE the colors in this paper! It's Authentique Blissful and I got it from Susana's. My favorite source for 6x6 paper. I used 3 different Martha Stewart punches for the butterflies and the sentiment is from the Birthday Cheer stamp set from Paper Makeup Stamps. Speaking of PMS, I'll be back in a few hours with my sneak peek for PMS' new release tomorrow!

I am also entering my cheerful birthday card into these challenges:

Papertake Weekly - Anything Goes (plus a bit of bling)

Di's Digi Designs Challenge Blog - Ribbons & Bows

Annabelle Stamps - Say it with Sentiments

Clean & Simple Stamping - FTL165 sketch

Baby Congrats Card

I made this card super quick tonight before going to visit a friend. I'm getting much better at planning and executing cards fast! It probably took me longest to tie the darn bow lol, I need to get a Bow Easy!

I pulled out one of the BEST baby stamps set that I have ever bought, Cuddles & Tickles by Stampin Up - $3 at the LSS tag sale a few years ago. The paper is from the Baby Boy Nursery DCWV mat stack that I bought ages ago and never used.

Have a great night and thanks for looking :)

Happy April!

Happy April!

I totally forgot to do my end of the month roundup for March...let's just say it didn't stack up to the first two months of the year. Hopefully I'll do much better this month!

Here is a card that I created on Thursday night for quite a few challenges :)


I love, love, love this card and hated to mail it away this morning lol. The spotlight technique is one of my favorite to use. The layout is from a sketch posted on the House Mouse challenge blog a few weeks ago.

Papertake Weekly #28

I'm remembering to post a card during the week that the challenge was issued, woohoo! I've created quite a few cards lately for swaps that qualify for challenges and then totally forget to post them. I'll still share them, probably next week since I'm on vacation and will hopefully have a little more time to blog post/hop.


I made this for a Letter M swap. Usually when I sign up for M swaps, its always a monkey for me, I love my Changito Monkey stamps! But the monkeys are currently hiding, so I had to come up with something different. While going through my images, I found this adorable Mushroom Friends image (by CC Designs) that I stamped ages ago. Glad to finally be using at least one stamp from that set.

I thought this week's sketch from Papertake Weekly was perfect for this stamp.

Supplies Used:
Stamp: Mushroom Friends ~ CC Designs
Paper: Basic Grey Ambrosia
Ink: Memento
Copics: E41, E57, Y35, R17, YG25, RV21, T3
Accessories: Nestabilities Labels 3, prima flowers, diamond stickles

Thanks for stopping by!
