HAPPY BIRTHDAY CARLY!!

Today is my niece's 12th birthday.  So I would like to take a second and wish her a HAPPY BIRTHDAY!   I made this card for her a couple weeks ago and waited to post it so she wouldn't see it.  Carly is a very talented young lady.  She has her own sketch blog Sketches by Carly where she draws up the sketches on her own.  She has like 16 already on her blog and they are all wonderful.  Thanks Carly, I can always count on you whenever I need something new.  

For my card, I used the digi from The Wild Flower Patch called 'Winter Dahlia'.  The sentiment is also from the WFP 'Birthday Sentiments'.  If you have some time, you should go take a peek at what's in the store,  there's some awsomely cute digis for every occasion.  There are rubber stamps available also if that's what you like. The dp is from Key Ingredients kit from Taylored Expressions.  Love those kits!!   For the sketch, I of course used Carly's sketch #15....

I encourage you to try one of her sketches and then link your card over on her blog here.  Next Friday there will be sponsored sketch, you won't want to miss that!!  Thank you for stopping by today, have a wonderful week, oh and again.....

Happy Birthday Carly *Ü*

Happy Birthday to my MIL!

Happy Sunday all:)  Hope you all are enjoying your weekend.  Today I have a card that I made for my MIL.  Her birthday is this Tuesday.   I thought for a great while trying to decide which image to use for her.  I do know she loves flowers so I decided on Marci with a Rose from La La Land.   I just love these new images, now available in red rubber.  I also used the dp from this month's Taylored Expressions Key Ingredients Kit.  Very pretty papers and goodies in that kit.  I also used the sketch from my niece Carly.  She has some marvelous talent and you should check out her blog.  You might find some inspiration for your next card.  Here is the sketch I used...

 

*There's still time to get in on the OWH challenge over at Double Delight.  It will run thru Sept. 30.  Everyone who enters (using any of D2D's images)  will get a cute freebie e-mailed to them.  Check out the blog for the deets.*

SSCC #36 Happy Mother's Day!

Happy Sunday!  Today we have another scripture inspired challenge for you over at Stampin Sisters In Christ.  Our sponsor this week is Softpencil Digital Stamps.  One lucky winner will win a $15 gift certificate to the store.   Our hostess for this challenge is the lovely and super talented Randi Barrett.  Here is Randi's verse she chose:

Ex. 20:12 Honor your father and your Mother, that your days may be prolonged in the land which the Lord your God gives you.

The challenge for us this week is to make a Mother's Day Card for your Mom or someone special you would like to honor this Mother's Day. 

For my card, I used an image of a rose that I've had for years.  I don't even remember where I got it or who it's by.  The dp is from JoAnnes and I used some lace from my stash.    The butterfly is from Taylored Expressions KI kits.  Love those kits!!  I hope you enjoy your visit and please be sure to stop by the SSCC blog to see what the other DT have made.  You'll be sure to find some inspiration there.  Have a wonderful Sunday!!
