Sweet Angel Sarah

Hello! I am so loving the long weekend, I have made 4 cards! I made this one today for our dear friends from church. They lost their little Sarah to SIDS before we knew them. Thursday would have been her 5th birthday and I wanted to let them know Patrick and I were thinking about them. Even though we had lost Gabe and they had lost Sarah before we knew each other, we really have bonded over the memory of our children. I know the birthdays are so hard and you start to wonder if anyone other than you even remembers your baby so I hope this card brings them comfort.

This card is my submission for Just Magnolia's Special Monthly challenge: anything goes with option of circles and ODBD #75: Dots or Stripes. I also used September's SFYTT and did the panels the right size this time!

You're the Best

Hello! Did everyone else's week drag by? Oh well it's finally Saturday and I had some stamping time! I made this card for my grandma's birthday on Monday. I used Cute Card Thursday's sketch for this week. It came together really fast and I love it, but holy cow, I stepped out of my comfort zone! I tried really hard to mix colors I wouldn't normally and I really liked it, who would have known pink, yellow and green look so nice together? I also used some embellies I've been hoarding. OK maybe not hoarding as much as scared to use... the flowers and pearl sprigs in the corner. I love it when I see them used on other blogs and think I did a pretty nice job without looking like I over did it! Over at Just Magnolia the challenge was a Bingo card- I used gems, flowers, and ribbons. Flowers were also the challenge at Magnolia Stamp Lovers, lucky me! And lastly since this is a birthday card it is also my submission for A Spoon Full of Sugar. Thanks for looking!
