You Got Mail - August 24, 2012

Today, I created a card from one of the four sketches for Tuesday Morning Sketch Challenge #160.  While I did not use an oval in the middle, I really loved this image from My Favorite Things Who's That E girl.  This is one of my favorite stamp sets.   I had fun paper piercing the couch, dress, computer and wallpaper. The paper is all from Stampin Up.  I found scraps to make everything which is awesome!  Thanks for stopping by, please leave me some mail (comment).

Wedding - August 21, 2012

My husband and I will be attending a wedding in October.  I am so proud that I was able to make the card ahead of time.  As soon as I saw the Mojo Monday Card Sketch 255, I knew right away, it was the perfect sketch for a wedding card.  I also rounded the corner of the card to make it look a tad bit different, and love the bling!  I also am proud to say that I made this card using my scraps!

I am also entering this card in the following challenges:
Paper Crafting Journey Anything Goes

Made for Each Other - August 18, 2012

On August 22, 2012, I will celebrate my third anniversary with my wonderful hubby!  The theme behind this card will really make him laugh!!  He has a garden and grows wonderful vegetables for us to eat each year.  However, this year, he has been battling a ground hog.  The ground hog has been taking chunks out of the vegetables and ruining his crop.  He has put a trap out to catch the ground hog, but the ground hog is smart and will not go in the trap.  He has thrown rocks at the ground hog and even chased the ground hog with his golf club.  However, the ground hog always gets away.  So this is the perfect card for our anniversary, especially with the saying from Close to My Heart Everyday Life stamp set.  The Sketch is from The Sweet Stop SSS172.  I think that we are made for each other, and I am glad God blessed me with him.
