Distressed Birthday

Hello! Today I have another card I was able to make last weekend. My Grandma's birthday was Sunday and I made this card for my parents to give her. My cousin and her fiance came back from Florida and my sister and her boyfriend came from Chicago to celebrate. It was fabulous to have everyone together, it's been since Christmas since thats happened! I used Taylored Expressions Sketch #126. I loved how Taylor used her Scor-Buddy to emboss the border around her card and thought I'd give it a try. I used black embossing powder on the sentiment to add a little more interest to the card. With the embossing and distressing, this card is also my submission for Our Daily Bread Designs Challenge #27: Texture it!

Dinomite Birthday

Hello! I hope everyone had a great weekend. I actually got quite a bit of stamping done so I'll actually have posts this week, yay me! I made this card for Caleb's birthday, it is so hard to believe my little boy is 6! He started kindergarten last week- it's going great so far, but we figured it would, he's such a social boy- my total opposite! He is obsessed with dinosaurs now and knows so much about them, it's amazing. When I'm reading his books to him at night if I mispronounce one of the dino's names I get called out on it right away, that's a lot of pressure on mommy! : ) As soon as I saw the dinosaur digital stamps from Bugaboo I knew that he would love coloring them and I also used 2 for his birthday card. I used Card Patterns Sketch #79. I loved this sketch and used it again on another card I'll show later this week. Thanks for taking a look!

Hugs & Smiles

Hello! I made this card for a friend from church who seems to be having a lot of changes in her life recently. I just wanted to let her know I was thinking about her! I used Jen Del Muro's latest SFYTT. The sketch was great and I love how this card turned out! Thanks to Gina K's tutorial on editing photos I am actually pleased with my picture, there's hope for me yet! Hopefully my card will bring a smile to my friend's face. Thanks for looking!

Me and My house

This is the last Father's Day card that I have to show. That's all I've made lately, I haven't had much mojo to make anything else! This is the card I made for my dad. I used The Sweet Stop sketch 61. I loved this sketch! There was a twist to decorate the inside of the card as well. That was an easy one for me cuz I usually do, I just never photograph them. I forgot to take the picture until after I had already given it to him, so that's why the color is so off. I took the picture with my cell phone in my grandma's kitchen : )

Silhoutte Father's Day

This was my grandpa's father's day card. I loved this sketch, it's simple yet very cute. I used Unscripted Sketches #60. It had a twist to make your card black and white for National Eat an Oreo Day. My card is actually black and off white, but I like Golden Oreos the best so it works for me!
