Getting Ready for St. Patrick's Day - February 28, 2012

St. Patrick's Day is only about 18 days away, so it is time to start tackling a few cards for this fun, green day. 

Happy 25th Anniversary - February 23, 2012

My mother and stepfather will be married 25 years on February 25th.  I made this card using The Sweet Stop SSS146 Sketch.  I cannot believe 25 years has passed, it really seems like a couple of years ago to me.  I hope they get to see many, many more anniversary together.  I love them both!  They are great parents!

Happy 13th Birthday - February 21, 2012

My nephew will be 13th in April which is unbelievable!  I made this card based on Michelle Zindorf's tutorial except I changed it up a bit!  She used a brayer to make her card.  I completely used a sponge technique.  I plan on trying the brayer as soon as I have larger ink pads to try it!  I added a saying and of course, the flag.  I made sure to put "13" on the flag so he will remember this card celebrates his 13th birthday.  He really appreciates the fact I take the time to make my cards and this makes me feel wonderful!

Mix of Challenges - February 20, 2012

Happy Birthday to you!  My little niece's birthday is coming up in May.  I thought this digital image from Sassy Cheryl's Digis "Sassy Birthday" would be perfect for her card.  It also feels fantastic to have her card done ahead of schedule.  I love not procrastinating!  I popped out her present which makes it look more 3-D, a fun little element to this card which was right in line with the Corrosive Challenge #143 - Another Dimension!  Since my card was birthday theme, it also met the challenge of Paper Sundaes #108 - Birthdays challenge which is perfect because it helped give me the boost to get a birthday card done!
