Thank you

Hi friends.  Our family has returned home from a 2 week vacation at Disney World FL.  We had an amazing time together enjoying the warm weather, the parks and camping.  We were so thankful to have 2 weeks to spend there.  There is soooo much to do it would have been hard to fit it all in a week, it could be done but we would have totally been exhausted.

It has been 2 weeks since I made a card and was wondering if my mojo was here or not.  Thankfully, it is still here.  :)  For now, anyway.  I made this card for the Moxie Fab World Challenge:  All that glitters is Gold.  I used my sponge dauber to create the background and then stamped the sentiment in versamark and then added gold embossing powder.  I LOVE this new stamp set by SU!  I am also entering this over at Simon Says Wednesday Challenge: Anything goes.

Here are a few photos of our trip:

 

And we returned home to this:

Thank you for visiting and have a great day!

Happy Birthday, Maureen!

Today is my sweet friend, Maureen's birthday.  Maureen and I first met online at StampNation, then in person at the SN retreat back in April.  Maureen is an amazing person, inside and out!  I look forward to seeing her again next month!!!  In honor of Maureen's birthday I decided to CASE her.  I have learned tons of tips from Maureen and I love her CAS style!  Here is her card I CASEd, you can see her original post here.

I know how much Maureen loves flowers so I just had to use a flower on her card. 

Happy Birthday Mo!  I hope you have a terrific day!

Happy Birthday, Leah!

 

Hi friends.  I am popping in to share the card I made for my daughter Leah!  She turns 12 today.  How can that be?  Time just seems to fly by.  

 Happy Birthday Leah!  Love you!

Thank you for visiting and have a great day!

Happy Birthday, Jonah!

Hi friends.  I am sharing the card I made for my youngest sons birthday today.  I was inspired by the Runway Inspired challenge.  Such a fun inspiration photo.  Jonah's favorite color happens to be yellow.  Perfect!  :)

Here it is:

This is one of my favorite pictures of him!  Love his smile!  Happy Birthday, buddy!

Thank you for visiting and have a great day!

Merry Monday & CAS(E) this sketch!

 

Hi friends!  I am sharing another Christmas card for Merry Monday challenge.  This week's photo inspiration is beautiful.  

Here it is:

I used Simon Says woodgrain textured cardstock for my base layer.  I also followed the sketch over at CAS(E) this sketch but flipped it.  :)

 I am happy to say that I have completed 100 Christmas cards so far for this year!  YAHOO!!!  I usually make and send out 150 so I have a good head start!  I am very thankful for Lesley and her challenges each week.  They sure have helped me to stay on track with making my Christmas cards all year long.  Thank you Lesley!
