Hi peeps!  Happy Thursday!  We had some sunshine and warmer temps yesterday, definitely a cause for celebration!  I made a really simple  “celebration” birthday card using the Try Stampin’ on Tuesday sketch for this  week:

My card is 4 1/4” square and I used some scraps I had lying on my table!  I just love Bermuda Bay and Pool Party together:

I used the cake image from the SAB set, Big Day, stamped it on a Whisper White scrap and colored it with markers, then cut it out, mounted it on a circle of Pool Party, and popped up the candle:

Some glitter made it extra-yummy!  And since I already had Good Greetings on my desk, I used it to stamp on a little leftover scrap of Best Year Ever DSP for my sentiment.  I added some Dazzling Diamond glimmer paper stars for the final embellishment!

Well, most of the snow is gone, leaving a soggy, wet mess of our yard!  But it was nice enough to ride the trike, and yes, she is in pajama bottoms, since she fell earlier in the day and her jeans were in the laundry! 

And here’s a closeup of her hat, which Grammy just knitted her:

Owls!  She actually asked to wear it….a big deal for a kid who prefers to run around as close to unclothed as possible!  LOL!  Enjoy your day!

Happy Saturday, peeps!  Brrr, we are still freezin’ here in the NE section of the country!  Good time to stay inside and stamp!  I’ve been trying to make some samples and I was able to make a couple of cards using some fun sketches!  My first one is from Match The Sketch:

and it uses Big Day (just love this fun set!) and Best Year Ever DSP, both Sale-a-bration items:

The images are stamped with Stazon then colored with markers!  The ribbon is from the Best Year Ever Accessory Park…yummo!

My next one uses the Freshly Made Sketches sketch 168, and I totally missed the sentiment position; hope they don’t throw me out!  Here’s the sketch:

And here’s my simple Valentine card:

I used some fun Valentine papers from the Stacked with Love pack; the large heart is from Epic Alphabet, the small heart is from You Brighten My Day (SAB also), and the sentiment is from Petite Pairs.  Check out the little clear epoxy heart that fits right over the little heart…I just love it!

And here’s the inside; the sentiment is from Teeny Tiny Wishes, and the little hearts are also from You Brighten My Day!  This just makes me smile!

I am entering this one in the Color Throwdown challenge for this week too:

Be sure to come back tomorrow for our next Paper Players challenge!!

Just take a guess as to what she’s saying!

Happy Thursday, everyone!  I have a birthday card to share today; my nephew’s is coming up, so this is for him!  I had the main element already stamped and unused from another project, so I repurposed it for the sketch from Can You Case It:

Sometimes I am just overwhelmed by the amount of DSP I have….so I am trying hard to use some of it up!  This is from Park Lane; I stamped the birthday sentiment from the SAB set Big Day diagonally across the paper for some interest:

The main sentiment from YeeHaw is stamped on Crumb Cake cardstock in Chocolate Chip and Mossy Meadow; I added the smaller words from Endless Birthday Wishes.   I also stamped the hat on Crumb Cake and experimented with my Blendabilities…..it bled a little, creating a soft effect.  I added a little crosshatch with a Crumb Cake marker for the hatband.  I think it would have been better stamped in Chocolate Chip, but I was too lazy to do another, LOL!

I hope he likes it!  Thanks for visiting today!

Happy Saturday, peeps!  I hope everyone had a wonderful holiday….I think I did a bit of a crash and burn yesterday….phew!  Too much fun on Wednesday!  We laughed, ate, played games, ate some more…..lots of Christmas memories!  Anyway, I forced myself to do some stamping (LOL) because today is our Christmas with John’s family and his SIL has a birthday, so I was itching to play with some new SAB stuff that will be coming in January!  This cute set is called Big Day and I’ve paired it with some Confetti Celebration DSP:

The images are stamped in Tangelo Twist with accents of Soft Sky, and I even have a little bit of Strawberry Slush peeking out….that fun DSP has a lot of colors in it!  I did a bit of “ombre” coloring on the words, too:

And of course, the cake is all glittery:

I used the Mojo Monday sketch for this week:

There are a couple of fun sentiments for the inside too (which I forgot to photograph):  “and perhaps a little ice cream”….and “Happy Birthday”!!! This is a great versatile birthday set to earn with your $50 purchase!  Starts Jan 6!

Cassidy was in doll heaven this Christmas!  Between Baby Alive, LalaLoopsie, Our Generation (like American Girl dolls) and Frozen, I believe she got seven or eight dolls….and clothing and accessories, diapers that produced charms, real food that ended up in real diapers…..oh my goodness, her head was whirling!  They’re on vacation this week, so she’ll have lots of time to play!  Here are a couple of shots:

It’s all real to her!  The little mommy!  Enjoy your day!
