HB to DD and WINNERS...

Thanks for joining me again today...it's been exactly one year ago that I've started this amazing fun journey with this blog. I never would have imagined where it's taken me and the many cherished friends that I've made! Your sweet and inspiring comments are so appreciated and each time I visit your blogs I learn something new and inspiring too!
My first entry a year ago was a party favor box I made for my DD's birthday party, today I would like to share the card I made for her birthday this year.

She loves this line of images from Pachela Studios and this cutie is Toby Tumble. He is the sweetest rabbit, and he has many cute little friends! Her fave color right now is this soft sage, purple and blue has always been her favorites too, so I used copics BV colors for Toby's shirt and colored in some of the flowers to match. The HB tag stamp is from Inkadinkado, and the dp is BG's Kioshi. She was thrilled to see her card, and some of the other images I got too!

Now onto to the winners of my blog candy, hand-picked by my DD and DS...

Vintage Baby...

Hope everyone had a wonderful Easter! So glad to start a brand new week...my last week was horrible! Started on Monday, sore throat...then by the next day, my voice was completely gone! My kids were so funny..."so when will your voice be back? maybe a week or two?" hehee! I bet they were glad to not hear my nagging...but it was only for two days! LOL! Anyways, I'm finally feeling better...not yet 100%, but getting there. Thank you for your sweet well wishes! It really warms my heart! <3

Let's get to the new challenge at Lollipop Crafts...hosted this week by Angieszka, and she wants you to create something VINTAGE or SHABBY CHIC! Our sponsor for this challenge is Digi Scrap and they have some cute images to play with. For my card, I chose a baby carriage...

I was a bit nervous about this challenge in the beginning, not really knowing how to be vintage or shabby chic! But after some blog surfing, I'm guessing it's earthy tones, distressing, ribbons, lace, and even some metal. So that's what I did! Hope you all like...it was pretty fun to make (but did take me longer because of my killer sinuses!) I bought a pack of loopy brads at a scrapbook show, not sure how they were used, but they looked interesting, and only $1... now I LOVE them and wished I bought more! I used them at the top of the card with the lighter blue ribbon...so cute! The sentiment is from AmyR Stamps and the paper is called Julianne from K&C Co. Well that's my share for today. Please stop by Lollipop Crafts and see the DT awesome creations! and hope you'll play along too!

Please come back later today to find out the winners of my blog candy!

Thanks for stopping by! ;)

Let's Get Sketchy...

Happy MONDAY!! Time for a brand new challenge at Lollipop Crafts. This week Kim is giving us a fabulous sketch to play with...take a look...

Kim kept it pretty simple, but it's so fun to play with! Our fabulous sponsor this week is Robyn's Fetish and there is an awesome prize for one random winner!
Here is my take on the sketch...

I have a few coming up, so what better than to get the cards done now. This adorable Cupcake Anya is perfect for little girls, but I didn't have any cupcake embellies. So what did I do?? Ran out to Michaels, used my coupon and snatched up the EK Success Cupcake border punch! LOL!

Now, head over to Lollipop Crafts for all the deets on the challenge, and for more gorgeous cards from the DT!

Gift Box for goodies....

How was everyone's weekend? Sure went by quick! Today at Lollipop Crafts, we have Zulma hosting a challenge to Make a Box or Gift!  That's something I love to do, but often don't have time. But this was perfect timing! You'll have to come back later to see my second post of the day to find out why...it's gonna be YUMMY!

For my project, I used Party Penguin!

I luv penguins, they are so adorable!!

I found a great toot from Whiff of Joy on this adorable little treat box. I fiddled with the measurements to what I needed, but it turned out a bit smaller than my colored image. I'll have to fix that next time around!

TGF Birthday Card...

Hi everyone! I've been working on this card for my DH, took me wayyyy tooo long!! I decide to make a birthday card at the last minute ~ which means it is now late.. :(  But I'm happy how it turned out! There are four panels on it, one for each of us...first up is me!

Fleur Anya in my fave colors! Followed the MM Challenge which this week is to CAS a fabulous card made by Joni. She makes adorable cards, visit her blog and you'll see for yourself! I'm also entering this to the Outlawz Monday card challenge, use your favorites. 

Next up, my DD...

I had each of my kids pick which TGF Sprout they like to be, and DD picked Summer! She's a real cutie and just love her little giggle! For this panel, I followed the CAF LAST Saturday Sketch {sniff!}. But not to worry, cuz there's a brand new challenge blog, just take a look at all the new excitement!!

OK,next is DS...

DS picked Dylan and Paul, so I had to alter him. Used his fave colors and followed a Friday Sketchers layout...but I didn't finish in time for the challenge, and I just found out they've closed their blog {sniff again!} But I love how the banner turned out! The stars and banner flags were all hand cut, turned out better than I thought!

Finally, my DH with all of us surrounding him...

I picked Jeremy...he so well dressed! Kept the layout pretty simple, just a ribbon and a sentiment from Whimsy Stamps. Used my new nesties to pop up "DH"! so i think it'll qualify for the NEW FFChallenge!
Here's a pic of the four panels all opened up

and we each had a tag with a birthday message...
 {will have to add that in later...still need to take a pic of it...} ETA...here are the tags...

This was so much fun to make, next time I'll know better to start earlier (maybe...LOL!)

Thanks for stopping by!

Be sure to come back soon for a surprise!! ;D
