happy birthday - ho ho ho

I needed a birthday card for my mother-in-law later this week and thought the sketch over at Sassy Lil Sketches would be just perfect.

I used some new papers from Jillibean Soup along with some Webster Pages ribbon roses that I had been hoarding for awhile.

My next card is for the newest sketch over at 2S4Y I looked at the sketch and saw a Christmas Card in the making.

The papers are from The Little Yellow Bicycle, the snowflake is a Cuttlebug die and the button is from PTI.

 I will be back tomorrow with the newest challenge over at Sasya's Sketches and I am sponsoring them this week and am giving away some handmade wrinkle ribbon and satin flowers so I hope you will stop back.

Enjoy!

oh happy day

Okay, so I have to admit I have some more stuff I have not used yet! lol I am sure that has never happened to you.

My card for you is inspired by Laura's sketch #56 over at "2 Sketches 4 You".

I realized while looking at the PTI sneak peeks for July's release that I had not used my new papers from last months release. I love the soft muted colors and the color combination is fabulous.

Here is the sketch. I had been wanting to do one of the sketch challenges here for quite awhile and finally decided to play along.

enjoy!

Saturday

Well it is Saturday and my day to work down at Anchor Paper on University Avenue. Since I could not sleep this morning I decided to get up and do a couple of the card challenges sitting on my desk.

This first one is for 2S4Y Laura's sketch #40

For this card I used the October Afternoon papers & word stickers from the "Farm Fresh" collection, PTI buttons, EK Success edge punch, and Neenah natural white cardstock.

Enjoy!
