Let's Celebrate YOU

Hello ~ Hello! 

I hope you are enjoying your Monday! The weather is finally gorgeous here - after a week of dreariness and quite a bit of rain. 

Just popping in with my card for this week's MFT Sketch (#126). I love this Birthday Girl PI and when I recently got the October Afternoon 8X8 Cakewalk pad I knew it would be a perfect match.

Celebrating Special Moments

Greetings ~

It's time for our monthly duel between the divas and darlings and this month Kelly is our Diva hostess :) Our theme this month is "Making Memories, Celebrating Moments". Kelly sent us a beautiful kit to play with this month, featuring "Tessa Tassel" from Kraftin' Kimmie Stamps. I had a fun time coloring Tessa, as I just recently learned some new tips with coloring.

Kelly and Jeanette (the darlings hostess this month) asked us to share some a current or past memory/moment to us that is close to our heart. Years past, I remember spending a lot of time at my sister's dance recitals. My niece is performing in her first dance recital on Saturday morning (the 18th) and while I'm so excited to watch Tavi and her friends put on an awsome show, I'm just as much looking forward to seeing my sisters' reactions and tears......as now the tables have turned and her little girl is on the stage doing the same thing her mommy did.... :)

Thanks so much for stopping by ~ LJ. 

Here is the inside of my card :)

Fun Times

Hello ~

Last weeks' October Afternoon Sketch challenge was the perfect opportunity for me to use some left over Farm Girl Scraps from a previous project. In addition to the OA patterned paper, I used an OA Sidewalks Chip-N-Stick image (boy on bike) and a couple of pieces from the OA Sidewalks Flower Sack. The button is from OA as well (Farm Girl)

Dueling Darlings - All About the Flowers

Hello ~

Here is my card for this month's Dueling Divas. This month Tami is our hostess for the Divas.... and boy did she not disappoint with a beautiful flower-themed kit. We should finally have some flowers popping up soon around here.....It's been raining nearly every day for the last 2-3 weeks. I think we have only had 2 or 3 days of sunshine within the last month.

The beautiful image is from Delta Creative Sunflower II. I think Sunflowers and Peonies are my favorite flowers.......I love yellow flowers. I colored it in with various copic markers.
