The Little Mermaid

Happy Thursday!! I wanted to share this card that I made for one of Meredith's friends. It was her 5th birthday party yesterday, and Meredith is still talking about the party. It was nice...it was just her and her 3 friends from preschool. I loved seeing them play so well together! I'm going to miss that little group!

I won a drawing a couple of weeks ago, and it was for a gift certificate from Stamp and Create (great selection and fast shipping!!). Well, I had fun, and this is one of the stamps that I purchased. It is from CC Designs...love those cute little stamps!!

My First Easel Card...Happy Anniversary

I believe that I may be the only one left in the stamping community that hasn't attempted an easel card. Why did I wait so long? They are super easy!! I guess it was the fear of the unknown! Today, Meredith and I had the whole day at home to ourselves to do absolutely nothing. So, of course, we stole some time in the craft room. We crafted away watching both the Suite Life of Zach and Cody and Little House on the Prairie...now there is a mixture of TV shows!!

I used this cute little couple from CC Designs from their last kit (BTW, they have a new one out for half price...it's SUPER CUTE!)!

Two challenges for this card:

All That Scraps Wednesday Challenge #21 - Easel Card

FBW92 Cute as a Bug

Hello, Flutter By Wednesday fans!! We were absolutely blown away by the response to our move last week!! I had such a good time visiting all of the blogs that participated. Can I just say, "WOW"!! It always amazes me how much talent we have out there!! Today is Flutter By Wednesday #92...how did we get all the way to 92? Our love of all things fluttering really makes it easy! This week, our challenge is an open one...just don't forget to include a butterfly, fairy, or angel on your card. Wouldn't it be a challenge to include all three on one? Anyway, I digress!

Don't you want to know what this lovely butterfly is doing here? It sure is pretty (or purty, depending on where y'all are from)!! Well, in order to find out, you have to go to the Flutter By Wednesday blog to find out. While you are there, read carefully and upload your creation if you have one! Believe me, it is well worth your while!!

I finally caved in to the peer pressure and purchased these fabulous stamps from CC Designs...they are just adorable and fun to color, of course. My card is also for the wonderful sketch (MTSC56) from Mercy HERE. I happened upon another challenge blog called Copic Buzz, and their challenge this week was to used pink and red. Well, isn't that appropriate!
