Birthday Boy!

Good afternoon!  We have another snowy day here.  I am so ready for Spring!  I spent the morning with my little niece and nephew playing cars and watching cartoons.  They are so much fun!  So, yesterday I told you I was working on a special card for his birthday.  Let me tell you, this one was hard for me!  I don 't do kids cards very often so I was completely out of my comfort zone! But, overall I am happy with the way it turned out.  I used Bat Brian from Digital Delights along with the Super Hero Accessory pack.  You can find them here. I colored everything with my Prismacolor pencils and fussy cut.  The background paper is plain cardstock and I cut the stars with my Cricut using Cricut Craft Room Basics.

Love Is In The Air!

Good evening!  So since I am one to never pass up a good sale I snagged a couple new images from The Paper Shelter!  (Shhh... Don't tell hubby!) Of course I had to come home and play so tonight I put together my first Valentine.  This cute image is called Enchanted Love and you can find it here. 
I colored the image with Prismacolor Pencils and added some glitter to her wings. (What girl doesn't love glitter!)  The paper comes from Recollections and the ribbon and swirls are from my stash. The flowers are from Wild Orchid Crafts and I cut the butterfly with my Cricut using the Paper Lace cartridge.  The heart charm is one I got at the CKC Convention last year.

I am entering this card in the Fan-Tastic Tuesday Challenge # 18- Pink & Patterned

Something New!

Good evening!  I hope this was an enjoyable Monday for everyone!  I had a long day at work today and even came home and took a short nap before heading into my craft room to work on a few challenges...
Tonight I colored up a new digi I received for Christmas from Elizabeth Bell Designs called Little Rapunzel.  You can find her here.  I colored her with my new Prisma Pencils and cut her out using an old Creative Memories circle cutter.  I don't usually do monochromatic but decided to keep this one simple by using the same cardstock and embossing it with my Cuttlebug.  I followed the sketch from Sunday Stamp & Sketch and added some flowers from Wild Orchid Crafts.

The Sketch

I am entering her in the following challenges:

Charisma Cardz Challenge - Birthdays
Creative Moments Challenge #33 - Anything Goes

Warm Birthday Wishes!

Good afternoon!  I hope you are having a wonderful Saturday and are able to enjoy some crafting time...

I went to meet little Greyson this morning..He is just about the most handsome baby boy ever!! I spent most of my time there just holding him and looking at his little face.  What is it about newborn babies that makes you want to just hold and kiss them?  I  hate to see what I will be like when I have grandbabies!! They will be the most spoiled children ever!

I did manage to squeeze in a little time in my craft room this afternoon.  Today I decided to color up this cute image from The Paper Shelter called Warm Winter Wishes. You can find her here I colored her with Prismacolor pencils and added some glitter to the snow.  The paper is from The Paper Studio and the flowers are from Wild Orchid Crafts.  The ribbon is from my stash.

I am entering this in
