Happy Birthday, CTS #41

Here is a birthday card that I made to play along with this week's CAS(E) this Sketch challenge.  As always, I have a hard time embellishing masculine cards.  I couldn't decide what to use so I colored a few of the wood veneer stars with the same blue ink as I used for the sentiment.  They turned out a bit darker because of the wood texture but it worked just fine.    

Here is a photo of the sketch challenge:

Happy, Happy Birthday to you...

Here's a card that I made for my husband's birthday.  I actually made this card to play along with a CAS(E) this Sketch challenge two weeks ago but never got the chance to post it.  Summer life got in the way of my blogging but I have no regrets...this has been a very busy but an awesome summer with my kids, nieces and nephews!  Hope everyone is having a great summer, creating memories to cherish for a lifetime!  :)

This was a super simple and fun card to create!  Thanks for stopping by...I am hoping to find some time to visit all my loyal blogger friends soon.  Have a fantastic day!

Above and Beyond! CTS#34

I couldn't resist playing along with this week's challenge from CAS(E) this Sketch!  This card is very simple, but I love that bold sentiment which is from K&Company's sentiments vellum sticker pad.  To me that sentiment says more than just a simple "Thank You".  Anyway, a clean, simple and quick card! :)

Thank You, CSC147

Here is the card that I created to play along with this week's CASE Study challenge.  When I first saw Lisa's card I immediately thought of this paper from DCWV, Hittin' the Books collection.  This was such a fun card to CASE however it was a bit tricky to photograph.  This picture doesn't do justice to the card but here it is...

Sentiment is from Hero Arts.

Happy Birthday Ajay, FMS91

Happy Happy Happy 13th Birthday Ajay!  Yikes...2 teenagers in the house!  I'm bracing really hard for this ride!  

My inspiration for this card came from this week's challenge from Freshly Made Sketches, challenge #91. I love the simplicity of this sketch, it can be interpreted in so many different ways.  I used out an old collection but one of my all time favorites, Rocket Age from October Afternoon.  

Sentiment is from Hero Arts and border punch is from EK Success, Round Binding Edge.

Happy Father's Day

Here's a simple Father's Day card that I made to play along with this week's CAS(E) this Sketch challenge. Masculine cards are still a challenge for me...go figure!  This was the card that I gave to my dad.  I used the Awesome collection from Simple Stories, added some twine, rain dots sentiment from the sticker collection and this card was done!  Quick and simple...

You are my Sunshine!

Here's wishing a very Happy Father's Day to my darling husband...you are truly the sunshine in our lives!

This is the Father's Day card that I made for my husband.  I decided to challenge myself again to make a card for a special occasion without using a traditional sentiment.  In other words, I didn't want my sentiment to say "Happy Father's Day!".  A very simple, yet fun card...exactly what I intended to create!    

Sentiment is from Hero Arts and the Sunburst stamp is from Neat and Tangled.  

Here's wishing all dads a very Happy Father's Day!  Hope everyone has a fantastic day!
