Happy Birthday Tavi!

Today is Tavi Pearl's 3rd Birthday.....Woo-Hoo! This is the card I made for her which I gave to her Saturday at her Birthday party. We had such a fun time! All supplies except card stock are from October Afternoon. Their flower sacks are so much fun! 

It's hard to believe this little blessing in my life is THREE years old already ~ where does the time go? .....I still remember the very day she was born:

Her first birthday.......

Her second birthday (this taken the morning of)

And every little moment in between...... 

Thank you for going down memory lane with me today......... Hugs ~ LJ

I sooo love this week's MFT Sketch! It's posted on Wednesdays in SCS, and although I had planned to go bed early Wednesday night, I could not resist staying up and creating my card for the challenge! 


For my card I used the adorable Violin Girl Pure Innocence image, which is from the January VIP Kit. I think she's so darn cute. I colored her in with my markers and fussy-cut her out. She's layered on a Dolly Die-namic Duo (I used the larger one in the set). The sentiment is from a previous MFT VIP Kit and was stamped on white card stock (I cut the tag out of card stock) I also used some pop-dots to give the card some dimension, as I did not use any embellishments this time. The patterned paper is from Crate Paper Co. (not sure of the collection ~ my mom shared some of her 6X6 pad with me) 


This week's sketch is below, thanks for stopping by! Hugs ~ LJ

MFTWSC55 - {Spread Your Wings}

Hello ~ Hello

Here is a card I have been working on this weekend for MFT Wednesday Sketch Challenge #55. I used the spunky cute "You Give Me Wings" Pure Innocence set. I just love this lil' girl's curly hair. She was stamped in memento tuxedo black on PTI White, colored and fussy-cut. The patterned paper is from SU! (Rainbow Sherbet - Retired). I also used Gable Green and Apricot Appeal card-stock. The ribbon is from AMuse & the sentiment is stamped in Tempting Turquoise.

St Patty's Tags

Hello ~ Hello!

I had a ton of fun making these cute tags for Jen's Get Lucky Swap over on SCS! I used the adorable 4-leaf Clover Pure Innocence image and sentiment. The Tags were cut out with a spellbinders die using PTI Craft Card-Stock (my favorite color right now, I am going through it like crazy right now!)
The Green ribbon and twine is from SU!, The PI image was colored in with prismacolor/copic markers   & sentiment was stamped in Handsome Hunter. I also used some eyelets with the ribbon.

Flap Fold Card

Hello ~ Hello

Today I am sharing a fancy-fold card I made about a week ago, after I saw this posted on Beate's blog, Fresh & Fun. There is a video blog there too. :) I started with a chocolate chip base, and then build the card up based on Beate's measurements listed in her blog post. I use an older SU! Set, Very Versatile for my image and sentiments. The tricky part was the button clasp, I ended up using some dimensionals and pop-dots to get it to finally work. The finished size of the card is 4" X 5.5"

Below is the inside of the card:

Thanks so much for stopping by, have a terrific Tuesday!

MFTWSC54 - Roll With It

Hello ~ Hello 

Here is my card for this week's MFT Wednesday Sketch Challenge (#54) over on SCS! I had so much fun paper-piecing the adorable Roll With it Pure Innocence cutie! My papers are from MME - Lime Twist - Out of the Blue 6X6 pad. I also used some red/white baker's twine, and the button is from basic grey. I hand-cut the banner flag since I don't have any dies (yet I want some that's for sure! )

The Little Things

Hello ~ Hello 


It's time for another Duel! Joan is our lovely Diva Hostess this month and our theme is the little things. Joan sent us an amazing kit this month to play with! The image and sentiment are from Lockhart Stamps (this is one of Joan's favorite stamp companies!) 


When I first saw this title, I did think of a "little thing" only she's not so little anymore, my niece Tavi Pearl. She's getting to be quite a little Diva herself. :)

I used this week's Destructed Sketch (34):
