Child Birthday ~~ April SOTC


♥ Hello my dear blogging Friends,
finally got inky today, after several days of literally staring at my
messy craft space and wondering how did I let it go that 'wild' once again...*sigh*
I just wish I had a magic wand each and everytime I finish creating a card...

Anyways, today's post is about April's Challenge for the SOTC group
 (Sisterhood Of The Travelling Cards) on SCS' s site :
http://www.splitcoaststampers.com/forums/cards-f107/closed-sisterhood-traveling-cards-t7-t550294.html

My dear friend Carol was the wonderful hostess for last month, and she challenged us to create children's birthday cards so that her beautiful 7 yo grandaughter could use them  for the many children's birthdays invites she goes to. Great idea, right? ♥

Well, believe it or not I actually had  a real hard time deciding on what to create, which image to chose, go boy/girl or neutral?... I even went through a bunch of newer stamps and, at the end, I chose the one set that wasn't even considered at first....
I really should try to use the many older rubbah I collected over the years ,especially from my SU stash. This set was purchased via SCS B&S a few years back and it's only my second time using it...yet it is such an adorably cute set w/ endless possibilities...
Finally, I decided how my cards was going to take shape and what you see  is the final result...

Ultimatly I liked how this lil girl immie turned out, holding a heart shaped balloon (brushed with Crystal Effect to give it a sheen look) and a lil banner message.
The nesties are positioned over fabric d/p. This lil gal's totally ready to part-eee ;o)
 Hopefully, every sweet lil birthday girls receiving these cards would enjoy receiving them just as much as I did creating it....
Thanks for stopping by my friends, please let me know what your thoughts are...I do appreciate each and every comment I read....*muwahhhhhhhhh*

  ♥ Blessings To All!! ♥

Wanna Cuppa ? ♥


Hello Friends...
here's a quick card for ya that I made for a coffee swap hosted by my stamping friend Roxane (SCS: 2cutecats)
I bought this stamp  afew weeks ago mostly because I love the 'relax' sentiment that went along with it.
I also enjoyed putting together this color combo...I'd never thought orange and light blue would marry so well together.....♥

Here's a peek of the fun sentiment INside the card....simple and cute...

I paper pieced the mug and propped it up for more depth....
and have an earlier than usual physio apptm. in the morning...
Sweet dreams to all....*Blessings!!*  ♥
