Finally a new card to look at!

Between being gone for our 10th anniversary and me being sick with a horrible sinus infection I haven't had much time or desire for card making. I sat down yesterday afternoon and was determined to get an Easter card done for my mom (she seems to get most of my cards...lol.) Everything was going great until I needed the perfect embellishments. I searched and hunted and looked at all the things I have....only to come up empty handed. An hour past my bedtime I remembered that I had a Sizzlets Die that made buttons. I was so excited...but knowing I had to get up at 4 AM I had to put them off until today. Well...I think the wait was worth it...I love how this turned out.


Just Magnolia provided the great sketch I used.

Happy St. Patrick's Day!

I thought I would make a card for St. Patrick's Day to send to my mom. She loves getting cards in the mail and I think this will surprise her! I usually try to wear green on the 17th but don't do much more to celebrate. (my days of "green beer" are long gone! lol) Do any of you celebrate?

Just Magnolia Week 46 provided the great sketch I used for this card.

Happy Birthday

This is my first attempt at a gate card. I think it turned out ok. Took me long enough...in fact...the sketch challenge that I was following ran out before I finished the card...lol.

It does qualify for this weeks challenge over at Papertake Weekly. We are to use buttons, brads, bows or bling. I used brads, added a bow and for a little bling I added stickles to her wings!

Dutch Dare Card Challenge #72 "open the gate" was to make a gate card.

Creative Card Crew is having a birthday celebration!!!! The challenge is "celebration" and I think a birthday is a great reason to celebrate!
