Happy Birthday!

Hi everyone!

I got some time in yesterday to create a card for fun, and am really excited to share it with all of you.  It's been months since I've just created something for myself and I had a blast. 

I needed another birthday card for work, and wanted something really girly for my co-worker.  I'm pretty sure this is VERY girly. lol  I'm really digging the new Nesties I got too.  This is the first time, in a while that I've used a butterfly on a card, and I've missed them.  I'm sure you'll be seeing more of them again soon.  I've combined the following challenges into this card.

Sweet Stop Sketch #90 - Sketch
Paper Sundaes #51 - Circles
Color Chef #69 - Tone on Tone, Monochromatic
Stampin Sisters In Christ #71 - Wings
Crazy 4 Challenges #69 - Inspiration Photo (I used the colors)
Speedy The Cat's Friends Challenge #37 - Embossing
Crafty Cardmakers #37 - Use Red and a Die Cut (my card is sorta red, right?)

I'm sorry for the late posting as I was busy with work stuff and forgot to schedule this post.

Have a wonderful day!
Hugs!

CCC #6 - Joy

Greetings ya'll!

How has your weekend been?  Mine has been nice and relaxing.  I love it when that happens.  So, it's Sunday again, and I have another Christmas Card Challenge project for you.  This week, the challenge is to include snowmen in your card.  Keep in mind that the challenge is optional.  Any Christmas/winter holiday card will do.  This is just to help jump start your mojo and help you get your Christmas cards done ahead of time.  For this weeks challenge, click HERE.

I have had this Tim Holtz die for a while now, but couldn't ever figure out how to use it.  Well, this weeks challenge was perfect for it.  I stamped the sentiment right onto the snowman, added a bow to the main panel, and then popped the snowman up using dimensionals.  Simple and easy, and I love my bow.  I could see myself creating several of these in no time.  Maybe I'll make a gift card set of them. :)

I hope you'll head over to the CCC to check out what my friends, and our lovely guest designer have created for you this week.  They're always so inspiring!

Have a wonderful day!
Hugs!

Twisted Sketches #41 - Life Happens

Hello again!  This is my second post for the day.  Please scroll down to see my Unscripted Sketches project for today.

I'm excited to bring you another Twisted Sketches card.  This weeks twist is: Ribbon - any how, any way.  I was really happy that we had the ribbon twist this week.  You can see why, below.  For this weeks sketch callenge, click HERE.

Isn't it beautiful?!  I have had this pleated ribbon sitting in my stash for months.  I didn't really know what I was going to do with it, but when the sketch and twist were given to us, I had a lightbulb moment.  I love this card!  The colors are classic, the ribbon is gorgeous, and the embossed strip of polka dot paper makes me happy.  I am seldom in love with anything I make, but this one goes on that list.  I hope the recipient of this card is as excited to receive it as I will be to give it to them.

I hope you'll head over to the Twisted Sketches blog to see what everyone else has created today.  As always, I'm beyond inspired by their work.

Hugs!
