DD's Card

This is a card my DD made for her BFF using the rabbit and mushroom digi stamps from The Greeting Farm Wonderland Set. She has become quite the little card maker. Every time I go to make a card or craft project she comes along in a couple minutes asking if she can to. We look through my digi/rubber/clear stamps for the images she wants to color and she sits with me and colors them up. Sometimes we make a card at the same time or we color one night and assemble the card the next.

Hi Birdie

This is the first image for April by Delightful Inspirations. You can read about the challenge here and you can see all of her stamps at Designed2Delight digital stamps. I made this card with pp from Fruit Fusion paper pad. I am not sure what sentiment I want to use with this card yet so I left it blank.

I forgot to post this card last week which was made with the last image sent to us for March by Faith at Delightful Inspirations. I love this image, so many possibilities but it is great for masculine cards. I used the Caribbean stack from DCWV. I used the Moroccan Screen Folder in my Cuttlebug and my Label One Nesties. I used Glossy Accents on the light beam and on the light in the window to give it a little bit of a shine. I also used Mermaid Stickles on the waves and clouds to add a little bit of sparkle.

Hey There Cookie

Here's a card I made using the Alice in Wonderland image from The Greeting Farm. In our Royal Battle group, Happy Stampy, we each made a retro card with the color challenge to see which one we wanted to submit for the Royal Battle entry, this was my card. We went with Bernadette's cute and sassy card (below), and you can go HERE to vote for our group to stay in the Royal Battle. They are eliminating half the groups after the votes are closed on Tuesday night. So here is another shameless plug to go vote for our group's entry. Thanks!!

Some Layouts for DS' book

Here are some more layouts for my DS' first book. I am slowly getting there. I have to take a break from his book though because I am going to start making my DD's birthday invites, decorations, favors, centerpieces and maybe some games using the Once Upon a Princess Cricut cart. She has decided that she wants to have a costume party, it is not a dress-up party because there will be boys there and they will not be coming as a princess so she went with the costume party theme. She said she didn't care if they came as a monster or a princess/prince, whatever they wanted to dress as. She always says that she wishes that her birthday was in October because they have the pretty pink birthstone and they get to dress-up for candy in their birthday month. I will share pictures once I start to design and cut them.
