I colored my image with copic markers and I used a rub-on sentiment from Craft Essentials that I've had for many years.  Sometimes it pays to look through your old stash.  :)

Thanks for looking!

The theme this week at Simon Says Stamp Challenge is Happy Birthday.  Happy 7th Birthday Simon Says!

I used the Misti to stamp my stripes and flowers.   I'm so glad I finally broke down to buy the Misti as I could not have gotten away with stamping these things only once.  It took me at least 3 times to get a good coverage, especially the stripes.   My birthday sentiment is stamped on the inside.

Thanks for looking!   Hugs!

Happy Easter!

This is a card I made for Simon Says Stamp Wednesday Challenge--Simon Says:  Cute and Cuddly.

Hello!   Thanks for dropping in.

This is the birthday card I made for my grandson who recently turned 4.  Since Tate loves balloons, I wanted to make them my focal point so I replaced Roboto's balloons with Avery Elle's party balloons, as they were much larger.  

I used my DIY stamping tool that I learned to make from Hallmark Scrapbook & Crafts to stamp the balloons.   I ended up stamping and restamping each balloon several times so my DIY tool got the job done, but it also made me love the concept of  the Misti tool even more so I'll probably break down and buy me a Misti sooner than I planned.

Here are the challenges I'll be participating in:
The 7 Kids College Fund Challenge Blog, Challenge #139, Anything Goes!
Addicted to CAS, Challenge #77 - Dimension
Less is More, Week 251 Theme - Numbers!

Thanks for your visit.   Wishing you and yours a very Happy Thanksgiving!

Birthday Wishes

My grandson will be celebrating his 2nd birthday soon so I wanted to make him a card.  Once again I looked to some of my favorite challenges for ideas and with the sketch from  Case this Sketch! #142; the colors from Colour Me...! Playful #90 and Simon Says Wednesday Challenge:  No Designer Paper, I came up with this shaker card for him.  

Thank you Challenges and thank you for stopping by!
