One For the Birds

Trying to keep up with all of these scrappin' challenges and life challenges can take a toll.  Hello and Happy Monday, the weekend goes by way too fast!  We had a busy but fun weekend!  Today I'm sharing a card that I made for the blog challenge listed over on Scraps of Color.  The challenge was to use a bird on your project so I made a card  for someone that recently got a promotion on their job.  I'm still scrappin' my stash, even used my cuttlebug, the bird was cut from the heritage cricut cartridge and Congrats from the cindy loo cartridge.  Thank you for stopping by and have a great week.

Let's Celebrate

Today is my special day and special indeed as its my big day!  Its my birthday and I'm not making a big fuss nor am I expecting anyone else as I feel so blessed to have made it to this birthday!  I'll work most of the day, pick my daughter up from school  and we'll go hang out before I take her to aikido practice and then  we'll go to dinner once DH gets home.  I've already been showered with cards, greetings and flowers (from my son) so I'm smiling.  Last night my daughter decided she wanted to make a card (I knew she was making it for me even though she denied it)!  So today I'm sharing the card that she chose to make, she used the Cindy Loo cartridge, the card is a modified version of the project that's in the cartridge booklet.  I did most of the work but I'm still glad about the idea and effort put forth by my daugher.

Sunday of Hope

Today I'm sharing a LO that was inspired by a sketch posted on Colorful Creations during a recent anniversary sketch a day challenge. Although I wasn't able to complete the challenge I like this particular sketch idea. The picture that I used was taken March 2011, I don't scrap in chronological order so you'll see a mix of old and current pictures. It is a picture of some of my husband's fraternity brothers after a Sunday of Hope celebration at a local church supporting St. Jude Children's Hospital. My husband wasn't able to attend as he was still recuperating. I used several different cricut cartridges for the title, vine and hexagons. Thanks for stopping by and have a good weekend.
