Cute Card Thursday - Anything Goes/Papertake Weekly -Bingo/Crazy 4 Challenges - Green/ Stampingbella - Green

Well I finally have gotten around to making a card for my beautiful daughter's 21st birthday. I can't believe that she is now legal, world wide to have a cocktail. It's amazing how old it can make you feel, lol. For her card I used Mo Manning's image Angelina. I colored her with my copics. I used tons of green as it is my big girl's favorite color. My paper is from CTMH and is one of their beautiful lines called "Sophia". I just love the prints and colors. The date stamp is CTMH's Stamp of The Month for November called "Cherish The Day. You stamp it out, create a ticket, then in the circle put the date of the month that you want to use. My daughter's birthday was March 4th, so the 4 went in the hole. It is a great set that can be used for anything that you want to personalize with a date.

I'm entering it into the following challenges Stamping Bella - Green

Hope you have a great weekend and enjoyed your visit.

Easter Card for my Baby! (She's 20)

Here is a card I have done for my daughter for Easter. I used my Basic Grey mini pad called Olivia. I added some flowers I had laying around to the edges. It is an easel card with a pop up egg. The image is Mo Digital image called Savannah in her Easter Dress with chicks. My oldest daughter, who has come so very far these last few weeks, used to love the dresses I used to sew for her. There were layers of tulle and lace and the more the merrier for her. This is a card that reminds me of when my 20 year old was a little one. I hope she loves it too. The sentiment is from Close To My Heart's April stamp of the month.
Hope everyone has a safe and happy Easter.

A Birthday Card

This is a card I finally got to for my son's 19th birthday. I had ordered this fabulous image from Mo's Digital Pencil called Harvard. Since my son is off at university I thought it was perfect for his birthday.

I colored the image with my copics, and added liquid glass to the lenses of his glasses. Now my son doesn't wear glasses, but he's just as bright as this little guy.

I used my Basic Grey Oliver paper pack and made up my own sentiment.

Just a quick card for my boy who I miss so much.

A Basic Grey Challenge Card

Well if you haven't heard my oldest boy, Chase 18, has flown the coop for University. I miss him dearly. Last weekend I went out to St. Catherine's to visit him. I found me a really nice hotel right beside the University that gives substantial discounts to parents of Brock University students. Phew. This is now my new stomping ground for the next 4 years. Well, as much as missing him, I am extremely proud of him. He has made good decisions all his life, friends, schooling, girls and this is another notch in his belt. So when I went to visit, I had to drop off a card to him.

This is one of my all time favorite stamps and sentiments from Mo's Digital Pencil. I actually bought the stamp at Stamping Bella when I knew my little man was leaving, knowing this was the card for him. I colored it with my copics, in Chase's favorite colors, orange and blue. He always had an orange backpack. I added a little bit of orange and blue embroidery thread to spruce it up a bit. In the inside is the sentiment that comes with this stamp. Isn't it perfect?

I used my Basic Grey paper called Max and Whiskers. I love the colors of this paper. I used the striped one with it so Chase could see the little paw prints and remember his dog Scooter while he's gone.

I'm entering this one into the Basic Grey Challenge. They have a fabulous sketch by Tara G. Here it is:
I rotated it and I think missed one layer, but tried to get it as close to the sketch as possible. Hope Chase likes it. This is my boy!!
Hugs and Happy Thursday xx

Stamptacular Sunday Challenge - A Sketch

This week we have a fabulous sketch for you to follow, or be creative with. I love sketches, they always give me a guide. Here's the great sketch we have:

I rotated it for my card. I also used the beautiful image from Mo's Digital Pencil called Bye Bye. I just love her. She so reminds me of my little girls, who are now big girls, 19 and 9, riding on their little trikes with not a care in the world. The sentiment is from Mo's also and is a quote from Dr. Suess. I used the paper We R Memory Keepers called Hippity Hoppity. It has great colors. I colored my little darling with my copics and added stickles to the fur on her collar so it looked furry and glittery. My bow is from Nicole Heady's Papertrey company. Fabulous ribbon there.

Or prize this week is an amazing $15.00 to spend at

Mo's Digital Pencil

She has so many amazing images it would be hard to choose.
