Here is a card I made for my X-Ray supervisor. She turned the big 5-0 a couple weeks ago. I gave it to her yesterday and then asked to "borrow "it again, so i could scan it since I didn't get a chance to on the weekend.
Once again I started with a sketch. It is from Friday Sketchers.

Crazy Challenge- all about Birthdays

Hope you liked my card! Come visit me again soon.

I'll Miss You Card using a Bugaboo Sketch

What a crazy, busy weekend I had. I finished this card on Friday night, but never had a chance to post it until now. Because of that I missed out on the challenge that this sketch was based on. Oh well. I made this card for a special friend who is moving. She is my CTMH upline, who just happens to live a couple blocks from me now, but is moving to Toronto next week! On Saturday night a bunch of her upline got together for a little Potluck and Crop as a last Get-Together. So I actually have a couple 8 x 8 LOs to post later. Good Luck and Happy Trails Laurie! I'll miss your guidance, and friendship- but we still have phone and e-mail!

Me and My Daddy 8 x 8 LO

I like how this LO turned out. I hope Carmen doesn't think It is too LOUD for a baby book though.
Once again I started with a Sketch and then slowly got my papers together after searching through the Stash.
I used a bunch of Stamp Sets for this LO ( Even though you probably can't tell.) I mixed and matched a bunch of my Alphabets for the title. I stamped in the Star, and the Arrow is a stamped image as well; up on sponge squares.
Stamp Sets: CTMH-Chocolate Small, Classmate, Friendship Small, Delightful, This Way, and World's Best Dad
Patterned Paper: Three Bugs in a Rug
Cardstock: CTMH-White Daisy and Barn Red, Stash- Green and Mustard
Ink: CTMH- Cranberry, Barn Red, Sunflower, Ponderosa Pine, Crystal Blue, Sweet Leaf, Black
Star: MME
Letter Rubbons and Sparkly Letter Stickers: DCWV

The Challenges I am entering are:

Thanks again for looking. My other LO that I was going to post will have to wait until tomorrow. I REALLY need to get to the laundry and cleaning up in my craft room. When I can hardly get in and out of the chair without stepping on paper or tools, it's time for something to be done.
Good Night and hope to see you back tomorrow.
