Make a Wish

I am so excited to be sharing my first card for The Paper Shelter Challenge. I just adore these images and have for a very long time so to be part of the wonderful team is just so exciting. This week the "B" team is challenging you to use those Punches and Dies in your creations. As always our very generous sponsors are Veronica and Pedro from The Paper Shelter and they are offering you a fabulous prize of $30. to spend on their website. They just added some new images that are just the cutest so please stop by and take a look.
My daughter's teacher had a birthday this week so I used Pattisier In Distress and colored her to resemble my Riley.

I created the cupcake banner with the EK Success cupcake border and used MFT Die-namics Mini Tabs Quartet to go along with the challenge theme. I love the fun colors of the paper-Fancy Pants Be You collection. I some how failed to write down the Copics I used, so sorry about that.

Best Friends Forever and DT News

Hello!! I hope everyone had a great weekend. I am sorry it has been so long since my last post. I have had so many projects and things going on with my kids that I got a bit behind. The biggest project is my Riley's big girl bedroom make over, so stayed tuned for that.
I wanted to share some exciting news!! I have been selected to be on the design team for The Paper Shelter. If you have followed me for awhile you know how much I love their adorable images so to be on the team is such an honor. My first official challenge will be March 6th which is right around the corner:)

You still have a few days to enter our "Girly Time" Challenge over at the CMC Copic Challenge Group. This should be an easy one for everyone so I hope you will join in for a chance to win some great prizes and the chance to be the featured Guest Designer.
My card today goes along with the "girly " theme for sure. My Riley's very best friend also named Rylie has a birthday coming up and this image is absolutely perfect. I have mentioned how Tiddly Inks Wryn reminds me of my daughter, add a friend that looks just like her and this could be the two of them in digi form and you can find it HERE

I just love this paper with all of the cute little purses so I tried my best to keep the layers to a minimum so it wouldn't cover them up.

Our wonderful sponsor this time is The Stamp Fairy. They have the cutest digis just perfect for your Valentine. I used Hugo for my card today.

I created texture by using short flicking motions in the direction that I thought the hair would grow going from dark to light. I also drew the heart flower and added a gravel path. I used Deconstructed Sketch 86 for my layout, I loved this one and the Heart Die cut is from Spellbinders.

Party Like a Rock Star

Just wanted to pop in and share a new project and a few things with you. We are still in Birthday mode around here. We just finished my daughter's spa/ sleepover party this past weekend and yes that was the third big party since Dec 2nd. I am officially partied and decorated out. Then my brother has to go and have a birthday today and my husband on Saturday:) Will it ever end? I am ready to relax and just craft and color for fun but only after I finish Riley's new "big girl" room make over.
You still have until Friday to enter our Favorite Color Combo Challenge at CMC Copic Challenge Group so I really hope you will join us. We also have a Facebook Group that we would love for you to join so please come check it out here https://www.facebook.com/groups/CMCCLASSROOM/.
I am trying to get better about being more active with FB so I added a link to my page on my side bar and would love it if you would "Like" my page and help new people who love to craft find my blog too.
As I mentioned my brother just had a birthday(Happy Birthday Ty) and I have had this image from Kenny K called Groove Dude since last year and just didn't have time to make his card. So I stepped it up a notch and made another shadow box. My brother plays the bass I can't tell you how much this image reminds me of him.

Bloom and Grow

Hello!! It has been a doozie of a week here with me and my littlest being sick all week long. One thing would go away and then some other symptom would pop up. I rarely get sick, honestly maybe once a year but I think it maybe longer. Lets face it moms can't get sick or things fall apart.
The kids are watching a movie as I type this and I can't wait for them to go to bed to catch up on some shows on the DVR and maybe sneak a bowl of ice cream. I absolutely love to watch Hart of Dixie. I guess it is one of those guilty pleasure shows. I love the south cute small town idea. That is where I would like to move for sure, not good for the hubby and Architecture though. My other favorites to watch Once Upon a Time (love their take on fairy tales) this is a must watch in my book, Castle is another great one and Revenge. So what are your favorite TV shows or guilty pleasures these days?
There is a new challenege up at the CMC Copic Challenge Group and it is a fun one.

CMC Copic Challenge #60

Favorite Color Combos

color ANY image ANY way you like

but WE WANT TO SEE YOU USING YOUR FAVORITE COLOR COMBOS and tell us why they are your fave if you'd like too!

We want to see you use YOUR COPICS, ProMarkers, other alcohol markers or Colored Pencils!!

One lucky winner (at random) will win a

free CMC Online Class of their choice from any of Marti Will's classes (Prisma Pencil classes, Cricut or Mixed Media classes...see all of her classes in Class tab at top of site)

My favorite color combos happen to be pinks, blue greens with a touch of green. I think they are so fresh and definitely girly. I also used my favorite hair color combo and my all time favorite stamps Saturated Canary this one is Princess Rose Red. I have some more birthdays coming up, my middle daughter Riley turns seven Monday so I decided this might be a nice gift for her to keep rather than a card. She is after all my biggest fan. This cute box is from 7 Gypsies and I found them at Michaels and Archivers. ( I have another version to show you soon).
