Robin's Creative Cottage Stamp Release Celebration!

Hi everybody!  Today is the first day of Robin's Creative Cottage Stamp Release Celebration!  Robin did such a fantastic job designing her first stamp sets!  You are going to just love them!  I'm so excited to share my first project with you.  All the sentiments are so cute it was hard to pick which one to use first but I decided to use the stamp that said "Snow Place Like Home".  I also used the little snowflake stamp with it.  I used these two cute birdies decorating their  home for Christmas in the snow.  I used the Puffy Velvet pen to do the snow on the birdhouse and Glossy Accents on the lights.  I hope you like it!  Make sure to check out the wonderful projects from all the design team members all week.  Thanks for looking and have a great day!  :)

I Feel the Love Big Bird Birthday Card

Hi!  Today I'm sharing a birthday card I made to send to Madison at Funky Cards for the I Feel the Love project. This month she is collecting birthday cards for a little boy named Ethan.  He was diagnosed with a rare liver disease called Biliary Atresia when he was 2 months old.  Thanks to a liver transplant and the wonderful care he got from the doctors, Ethan will be celebrating his 2nd birthday in November.  I decided to make a Big Bird birthday card for him.  I will also be entering this card into Challenge #31 over at Birthday Sundaes which is to make a tall or long birthday card.  Have a great day and thanks for looking!  :)

Halloween Easel Card

Hi everyone!  I hope everyone is enjoying their Labor Day Weekend!  This morning my family went to my 8-year-old son's first flag football practice.  He really enjoyed it and we had lots of fun watching him!  Now onto my card... I made a Halloween easel card that I am going to enter into a few challenges.  I put the little monster on an action wobble.  I tried to make a video of him wobbling but it didn't work out.  :(   I'll try again another time!  Have a great day and thanks for looking!  :)
