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!

Make a Wish Neena!

Happy Happy Birthday to my beautiful, caring, loving and most compassionate niece, Neena!

Here is a card that I made for Neena's birthday.  I played along with this week's 10 Minute Craft Dash challenge from Pretty Pink Posh.  It's ironic because it was Neena who helped me with my last 10 Minute Craft Dash challenge which ended up winning the challenge for that week.  Now here I am playing along with a card for her!

Anyway, this was a fun card to create!  The minute I saw these colors I thought of the Hip-Hooray collection from My Mind's Eye.  This card took me 7:53 minutes to create!

Here are the colors for this week's challenge:

Thanks for stopping by!  Here's hoping Neena's day is half as amazing as she is!  

Happy Birthday!

Here is a card that I made for my sister-in-law's birthday!  I played along with this week's CAS(E) this Sketch challenge.  I love their sketch challenges, just wished I had more time to play along weekly.  Tracey McNeely is one of my favorite bloggers so I couldn't resist this week's challenge!  This was a quick, simple and fun card to make...    

Sentiment is from Close to My Heart and the branch and butterflies are a glitter rub-on from K&Co.

Here is a photo of the sketch challenge:

Happy Birthday

So what do you do when you get new stamps in the mail?  You find a reason to make a card!  Well actually I did have a reason, I needed a birthday card for my nephew.  My new stamps are from Neat and Tangled that I bought using a gift card I won from a challenge a while back.  My favorite part of this happy mail was the personalized thank you note from the owner, Danielle.  That extra touch goes a long way and makes you feel appreciated as a customer.    

This birthday card is very simple using washi tape and this stamp set from their current month's new release.  It's very simple but very age appropriate.

Sentiment is adhered with dimensional adhesive.

Thanks for stopping by, hope you have a fantastic day! 

It's Your Day!

I am truly humbled and feel completely blessed that God has entrusted two precious gifts in my care.  My kids have taught me the meaning of true love, true happiness and most importantly, all about selfless giving.  Here's wishing all moms a very, very Happy Mother's Day!

This is the card that I made for my mom for Mother's Day.  It was inspired by this week's challenge from CAS(E) this Sketch!  A very CAS card keeping the focus on the sentiment.

Sentiment is from PTI's Think Big Favorites #2 stamp set.

Here is a photo of the sketch challenge:

Thanks for stopping by and I wish all the mommies a beautiful and relaxing day!  :)

You are my reason why...

Here is a card that I made to play along with this week's Simon Says Happy Mail challenge.  I love using Ali Edwards' stamps on my layouts so finding ways to use them on cards is an added bonus for me!  This is such a simple card using washi tape and a few hearts, however it's such a powerful sentiment to the recipient.

Thanks for stopping by!  Hope you have a fantastic weekend! :)

Party Hat Birthday Card!

Here is a birthday card that I made for a sweet 1 year old baby girl.  I wanted this card to be colorful, vibrant, fun and festive, so I decided on this party hat shaped card.  Shaped cards are fun to make and perfect for little kids.  

My inspiration for this card came from the cover of a Card Creations, Vol. 10 magazine that I won from a Moxie Fab challenge last year.  This issue is filled with lots of great inspiration. 

Hat shape is an image from the Silhouette store and circles were cut using various size punches from glitter cardstock.
