Little Miss Piggy

I have been working on some cards to give to a friend that is graduating from high school. She told me that she will be Pen Pals with two little girls she babysat for. I thought I would make her some cute cards that she could send these little girls to make them feel special while she is away at school. I had to share this "Little Miss Piggy.."

This pig is from Button Buddies and her crown is from Every Little Bit. My friend Shana Gaff gave me the idea of placing a crown on this pig and now I have to do it every time I use this stamp!! LOL The Googlie Eyes are peek form the new Holiday Catalog from Stampin' Up being released on August 1!! Lots of fun new goodies! I am a sucker for circles and thought this would add to the whimsical feel to the card. I am sure these little girls will love getting this card in the mail!

Thanks for stopping by!!!

Ha-pe 4 u!!

I found a new FUN challenge to try! It is CASology. Our challenge is to create a Clean And Simple card using the word "happy." I have a hard time knowing when to stop adding to my cards, so I thought this would be a great way to think outside my "box."  :) I also used the color palette this week from the colourQ Challenge #146.

I used the new "Notable Alphabet" to make a phonetic spelling of "happy." I used parts of the letters in the alphabet to apply the accents to the letters. I added just a little splash of color trying to keep it CAS. My daughter figured out what it said so I assume everyone else should too! LOL!!

Thanks for taking a peek!

Here is a simple card that I designed for our last card camp. I decided to use the Summer Smooches DSP for the first time and I just love it! Here is the card...

I was to be sure to curl the banners at the bottom so they are not attached to the Whisper White card stock. It is hard to see but I scored around the edges as well. I used the Friendly Phrases stamp set for the sentiment. This is a very simple card but so much fun to make!

Thanks for stopping by!

Just for You...

I have time to make a quick post today! We are going to a friends house to go swimming and I made her this card. I also thought I would enter the Freshly Made Sketches Challenge for the first time.

Here is my card...

I will update this post later with the details. I used some new colors with this challenge...I just love them! Have a wonderful Memorial day!!

Sweet Friend

Happy Mother's Day!! I want to take a moment to thank my Mom!! She is everything I would hope to be as a mother, daughter, Christian and friend! Now that I am a mother I think of the love and patience she has shown me....unconditionally! I love you so much Mom!!

I decided to create a card for 2 challenges this week. This is actually the second card I created but the first just wasn't what I was looking for. This card is for the Create with Connie and Mary Sketch Challenge and well as the colourQ challenge #136. I think these challenges went really well together this week.

Here is my card... 

I love the stamps in the Mouthwatering stamp set! They are large bold images and so much fun! This card is made so that the banner that hang over the edge make this a standard sized card. I just love this look! I used the Pennant Die to add a background to the focal image. The stick for the popsicle is made by double punching the Word Window Punch. A no card is complete without a little "spritzer" of color. Other than my Big Shot and Paper Cutter, the Air Spritzer tool is a tool that I could NOT live without!!

This was such a fun card to make for both challenges!

Enjoy your day and Thanks for stopping by! :)
